There are times when one web image can be used in different places with different resolutions. There are several ways to complete this task : connect a JS library that makes all the magic or crop images while uploading them to server.

Each of those methods has his own disadvantages :

1. JS library loads the full-size image. When there are plenty of those images - there's a great change that page load time will increase.

2. While cropping the images - you never know, will there be redesign with different image sizes or not. It will get you a lot of headache to make changes.
