This works well, but what I'd like to do is choose a fixed size frame for each PDF and have ConTeXt fill the frame in the same way as these CSS commands:

object-fit : cover; object-position : top left; overflow : hidden;

[Forgot to add: this is with the ConTeXt bundled in Tex Live 2014] Many thanks -- although I don't see the effect I'm trying to get. In the code below the cow picture should fill the three frames at three different scales with no white bars between the frame and the externalfigure frame: \setupexternalfigures[location={default}] \starttext \framed [offset=overlay,width=10cm,height=2cm] {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,factor=max]} \framed [offset=overlay,width=4cm,height=8cm] {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,factor=max]} \framed [offset=overlay,width=6cm,height=6cm] {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,factor=max]} \stoptext Stu
