Aspects include identifying one or more key image sections from an image being displayed on a first surface area of a display screen by performing contextual image analysis. Aspects also include reducing the first surface area of the display screen to form a second surface area of the display screen such that second surface area is smaller than the first surface area. Aspects also include generating a modified image by deleting one or more portions of the image based on the second surface area. The modified image includes the one or more key image sections and the one or more key image sections are contextually arranged within the modified image. Aspects also include displaying the modified image on the second surface area of the display screen. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying, by performing contextual image analysis, one or more key image sections from an image being displayed on a first surface area of a display screen; reducing the first surface area of the display screen to form a second surface area of the display screen, wherein the second surface area is smaller than the first surface area; generating, based on the second surface area, a modified image by deleting one or more portions of the image, wherein the modified image comprises the one or more key image sections and the one or more key image sections are contextually arranged within the modified image; and displaying the modified image on the second surface area of the display screen. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the one or more key image sections being contextually arranged within the modified image comprises providing a spatial arrangement of the one or more key image sections that preserves a meaning of the image. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the image comprises a video image and generating the modified image is performed dynamically based on an aspect ratio of the second surface area of the display screen. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein a key image section of the one or more key image sections from the image comprises a cropped portion of the image. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The computer-implemented method of claim 4, wherein the cropped portion of the image is enlarged in dimensions. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein generating the modified image is further based on a user profile, wherein the user profile specifies that the generation of the modified image is triggered upon a determination that an aspect ratio of the second surface area exceeds a predetermined threshold. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein generating the modified image further comprises: for at least one key image section of the one or more key image sections, identifying a portion of the at least one key image section that is contextually unimportant; and deleting the contextually unimportant portion of the at least one key image section. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The computer-implemented method of claim 7, wherein generating the modified image is performed in response to receiving a user input. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the display screen comprises a retractable display screen and reducing the first surface area of the display screen to form a second surface area of the display screen comprises retracting a portion of the display screen. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The computer-implemented method of claim 9, further comprising determining an aspect ratio of the second surface area of the display screen based on an amount of retraction of the display screen. ### Claim 11 A system comprising: a processor communicatively coupled to a memory, the processor configured to: identify, by performing contextual image analysis, one or more key image sections from an image being displayed on a first surface area of a display screen; reduce the first surface area of the display screen to form a second surface area of the display screen, wherein the second surface area is smaller than the first surface area; generate, based on the second surface area, a modified image by deleting one or more portions of the image, wherein the modified image comprises the one or more key image sections and the one or more key image sections are contextually arranged within the modified image; and display the modified image on the second surface area of the display screen. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the one or more key image sections being contextually arranged within the modified image comprises providing a spatial arrangement of the one or more key image sections that preserves a meaning of the image. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the image comprises a video image and generating the modified image is performed dynamically based on an aspect ratio of the second surface area of the display screen. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein a key image section of the one or more key image sections from the image comprises a cropped portion of the image. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the cropped portion of the image is enlarged in dimensions. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein generating the modified image is further based on a user profile, wherein the user profile specifies that the generation of the modified image is triggered upon a determination that an aspect ratio of the second surface area exceeds a predetermined threshold. ### Claim 17 A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith the program instructions executable by a computer processor to cause the computer processor to perform a method comprising: identifying, by performing contextual image analysis, one or more key image sections from an image being displayed on a first surface area of a display screen; reducing the first surface area of the display screen to form a second surface area of the display screen, wherein the second surface area is smaller than the first surface area; generating, based on the second surface area, a modified image by deleting one or more portions of the image, wherein the modified image comprises the one or more key image sections and the one or more key image sections are contextually arranged within the modified image; and displaying the modified image on the second surface area of the display screen. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The computer program product of claim 17, wherein the one or more key image sections being contextually arranged within the modified image comprises providing a spatial arrangement of the one or more key image sections that preserves a meaning of the image. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The computer program product of claim 17, wherein the image comprises a video image and generating the modified image is performed dynamically based on an aspect ratio of the second surface area of the display screen. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The computer program product of claim 17, wherein a key image section of the one or more key image sections from the image comprises a cropped portion of the image.
