Initialize with $.fn.cropper
method.
<!-- Wrap the image or canvas element with a block element (container) -->
<div>
<img id="image" src="picture.jpg">
</div>
/* Limit image width to avoid overflow the container */
img {
max-width: 100%; /* This rule is very important, please do not ignore this! */
}
$('#image').cropper({
aspectRatio: 16 / 9,
crop: function(e) {
// Output the result data for cropping image.
console.log(e.x);
console.log(e.y);
console.log(e.width);
console.log(e.height);
console.log(e.rotate);
console.log(e.scaleX);
console.log(e.scaleY);
}

How to crop a new area after zoom in or zoom out?
Just double click your mouse to enter crop mode.
How to move the image after crop an area?
Just double click your mouse to enter move mode.
How to fix aspect ratio in free ratio mode?
Just hold the
shift
key when you resize the crop box.
How to crop a square area in free ratio mode?
Just hold the
shift
key when you crop on the image.
-
The size of the cropper inherits from the size of the image's parent element (wrapper), so be sure to wrap the image with a visible block element.
If you are using cropper in a modal, you should initialize the cropper after the modal shown completely. Otherwise, you will not get a correct cropper.
-
The outputted cropped data bases on the original image size, so you can use them to crop the image directly.
-
If you try to start cropper on a cross-origin image, please make sure that your browser supports HTML5 CORS settings attributes, and your image server supports the
Access-Control-Allow-Origin
option (see the HTTP access control (CORS)).
-
Known iOS resource limits: As iOS devices limit memory, the browser may crash when you are cropping a large image (iPhone camera resolution). To avoid this, you may resize the image first (below 1024px) before start a cropper.
-
Known image size increase: When export the cropped image on browser-side with the
HTMLCanvasElement.toDataURL
method, the size of the exported image may be greater than the original image's. This is because the type of the exported image is not the same as the original image's. So just pass the type the original image's as the first parameter totoDataURL
to fix this. For example, if the original type is JPEG, then use$().cropper('getCroppedCanvas').toDataURL('image/jpeg')
to export image.
You may set cropper options with $().cropper(options)
.
If you want to change the global default options, You may use $.fn.cropper.setDefaults(options)
.
- Type:
Number
- Default:
0
- Options:
0
: no restrictions1
: restrict the crop box to not exceed the size of the canvas.2
: restrict the minimum canvas size to fit within the container. If the proportions of the the canvas and the container differ, the minimum canvas will be surrounded by extra space in one of the dimensions.3
: restrict the minimum canvas size to fill fit the container. If the proportions of the canvas and the container are different, the container will not be able to fit the whole canvas in one of the dimensions.
Define the view mode of the cropper. If you set viewMode
to 0
, the crop box can extend outside the canvas, while a value of 1
, 2
or 3
will restrict the crop box to the size of the canvas. A viewMode
of 2
or 3
will additionally restrict the canvas to the container. Note that if the proportions of the canvas and the container are the same, there is no difference between 2
and 3
.
- Type:
String
- Default:
'crop'
- Options:
'crop'
: create a new crop box'move'
: move the canvas'none'
: do nothing
Define the dragging mode of the cropper.
- Type:
Number
- Default:
NaN
Set the aspect ratio of the crop box. By default, the crop box is free ratio.
- Type:
Object
- Default:
null
The previous cropped data if you had stored, will be passed to setData
method automatically.
- Type:
String
(jQuery selector) - Default:
''
Add extra elements (containers) for previewing.
Notes:
- The maximum width is the initial width of preview container.
- The maximum height is the initial height of preview container.
- If you set an
aspectRatio
option, be sure to set the preview container with the same aspect ratio. - If preview is not getting properly displayed, set
overflow:hidden
to the preview container.
- Type:
Boolean
- Default:
true
Re-render the cropper when resize the window.
- Type:
Boolean
- Default:
true
Restore the cropped area after resize the window.
- Type:
Boolean
- Default:
true
Check if the current image is a cross-origin image.
If it is, when clone the image, a crossOrigin
attribute will be added to the cloned image element and a timestamp will be added to the src
attribute to reload the source image to avoid browser cache error.
By adding crossOrigin
attribute to image will stop adding timestamp to image url, and stop reload of image.
If the value of the image's crossOrigin
attribute is "use-credentials"
, then the withCredentials
attribute will set to true
when read the image data by XMLHttpRequest.
- Type:
Boolean
- Default:
true
Check the current image's Exif Orientation information.
More exactly, read the Orientation value for rotating or flipping the image, and then override the Orientation value with 1
(the default value) to avoid some issues (#120, #509) on iOS devices.
Requires to set both the rotatable
and scalable
options to true
at the same time.
Note: Don't trust this all the time as some JPG images have incorrect (not standard) Orientation values.
Requires Typed Arrays support (IE 10+).

}
});

Notes:
- The aspect ratio of the output canvas will be fitted to aspect ratio of the crop box automatically.

fillColor
option first, if not, the transparent part in the JPEG image will become black by default.

Browser support:
- Basic image: requires Canvas support (IE 9+).
- Rotated image: requires CSS3 2D Transforms support (IE 9+).
- Cross-origin image: requires HTML5 CORS settings attributes support (IE 11+).
Get a canvas drawn the cropped image. If it is not cropped, then returns a canvas drawn the whole image.
After then, you can display the canvas as an image directly, or use HTMLCanvasElement.toDataURL to get a Data URL, or use HTMLCanvasElement.toBlob to get a blob and upload it to server with FormData if the browser supports these APIs.
Avoid to get a blank output image, you might need to set the maxWidth
and maxHeight
properties to limited numbers, because of the size limits of a canvas element.
$().cropper('getCroppedCanvas');
$().cropper('getCroppedCanvas', {
width: 160,
height: 90,
minWidth: 256,
minHeight: 256,
maxWidth: 4096,
maxHeight: 4096,
fillColor: '#fff',
imageSmoothingEnabled: false,
imageSmoothingQuality: 'high',
});
// Upload cropped image to server if the browser supports `HTMLCanvasElement.toBlob`
$().cropper('getCroppedCanvas').toBlob(function (blob) {
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append('croppedImage', blob);
$.ajax('/path/to/upload', {
method: "POST",
data: formData,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
success: function () {
console.log('Upload success');
},
error: function () {
console.log('Upload error');
}
});
});
