A digital image to be presented on an electronic display of an electronic device is expanded so that the content of the digital image fits the electronic display and the margins are cropped (e.g., rendered invisible) on the electronic display. The initial determination may be for a first total length of a left margin and a right margin of the digital image. The second determination may be for a second total length of a top and a bottom margin of the digital image. An expansion factor based at least in part on the smaller of the first and second total lengths may be derived. The application of the expansion factor enables the creation of an expanded digital image having content that maximally fit the electronic display. In some aspects, the expanded digital image is stored in a data cache.
