What is Cropper?

Cropper is a lightweight JavaScript image cropping library for web and mobile applications. It provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for cropping image areas of any shape and exporting the cropped image data.

Some key features of Cropper include:

  • Support for cropping rectangular, circular, and irregular shaped image areas
  • Touch-friendly crop box resizing with touch event handlers
  • Options to restrict crop box aspect ratios and image output sizes
  • Ability to rotate or flip (mirror) the image being cropped
  • Callbacks for monitoring crop box changes and extracting cropped image data
  • Support for major desktop and mobile browsers
  • Small file size with no external dependencies

Cropper is commonly used to allow users to crop their profile pictures or resize images before uploading content. It can be a lighter-weight alternative to hosting a full-featured image editor just for the cropping functionality.

Some examples of using Cropper include:

  • In social networking or sharing apps, for profile images
  • In marketplaces, for product or seller images
  • In content management systems, to crop images inserted into text
  • In apps where users upload images, to standardize sizes

Overall, Cropper provides an easy way to incorporate flexible client-side image cropping into web or mobile interfaces with a user-friendly interface.
