Object Fit
Controls how the image fills its container. Most commonly used with cover to crop images to a consistent aspect ratio.

Contain

Fill
Stretches to fill
All options: cover, contain, fill, none, scale-down. When set, the wrapper also gets width:100%; height:100% so the image can fill its parent.
Object Position
When using object-fit: cover, control which part of the image stays visible. Defaults to center.
