Comment:

 I am aware of hard cropping mode and it is not what I am asking for.

 With hard cropping mode, the original image is cropped without any
 resizing first. The cropped image is the exact right size but it cuts out
 detail from the original image.

 If you are familiar with CSS, the easiest analogy is:

 * Soft cropping mode is like `background-size: contain`
 * Hard cropping mode is like `background-size: 100%`
 * "Cover" cropping mode (what I am asking for here) is like `background-
 size: cover` (just the resizing behaviour, I am not asking for any
 cropping)

 I think the key points I am asking for are:

 * Resizing the image (and no cropping) so the overall integrity of the
 image is retained
 * Being able to specify a minimum image size (width/height), so that the
 resized image can be used without any upscaling by the browser
