In every social networking website, there is crop and upload functionality available in profile picture. There are many ways you can do it for your web application. One easy and quick way is to use Javascript or jQuery plugin.
Croppie is simple and easy to use jQuery plugin which provides crop the image functionality in easy way before you save images for user.
In this article, we will create Image crop example and also will upload cropped image in PHP with AJAX. So Follow this steps to create image crop example.
First create index.html file with file upload input. In this file we have included croppie.min.css and croppie.min.js CDN files. Also we have included bootstrap for view.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/croppie/2.6.4/croppie.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/croppie/2.6.4/croppie.min.js"></script>
Then create <div> tag where you want to generate croppie view.
<div id="croppie-demo"></div>
We have also created image upload for adding image in croppie. And we have added some javascript code to upload image in server and return back cropped images. Here is the full code for index.php file.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<div class="container">
<h2>Croppie</h2>
<div class="row">

</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var croppieDemo = $('#croppie-demo').croppie({
enableOrientation: true,
viewport: {
width: 250,
height: 250,
type: 'circle' // or 'square'
},
boundary: {
width: 300,
height: 300
}
});
$('#croppie-input').on('change', function () {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
croppieDemo.croppie('bind', {
url: e.target.result
});
}
reader.readAsDataURL(this.files[0]);
});
$('.croppie-upload').on('click', function (ev) {
croppieDemo.croppie('result', {
type: 'canvas',
size: 'viewport'
}).then(function (image) {
$.ajax({
url: "/upload.php",
type: "POST",
data: {
"image" : image
},
success: function (data) {
html = '<img src="' + image + '" />';
$("#croppie-view").html(html);
}
});
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
The other file is upload.php which is for AJAX upload and return image file html.
<?php
$data = $_POST['image'];
list($type, $data) = explode(';', $data);
list(, $data) = explode(',', $data);
$data = base64_decode($data);
$imageName = time().'.png';
file_put_contents('upload/'.$imageName, $data);
You can also pass bellow options.
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| boundary | object | Size of the container | The outer container of the cropper |
| enableExif | boolean | false | Enable exif orientation reading. Tells Croppie to read exif orientation from the image data and orient the image correctly before rendering to the page. Requires exif.js |
| enableOrientation | boolean | false | Enable or disable support for specifying a custom orientation when binding images |
| enableResize | boolean | false | Enable or disable support for resizing the viewport area. |
| enableZoom | boolean | true | Enable zooming functionality |
| enableOrientation | boolean | user | user |
| enforceBoundary | boolean | true | Restricts zoom so image cannot be smaller than viewport |
| mouseWheelZoom | boolean | true | Enable or disable the ability to use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out on a croppie instance. |

| Name | Type | Description | Parameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| get() | object | Get the crop points, and the zoom of the image. | |
| bind({ url, points, orientation, zoom }) | Promise | Bind an image to the croppie. Returns a promise to be resolved when the image has been loaded and the croppie has been initialized. | url - URL to image points - Array of points that translate into [topLeftX, topLeftY, bottomRightX, bottomRightY] zoom - Apply zoom after image has been bound orientation - Custom orientation, applied after exif orientation (if enabled). Only works with enableOrientation option enabled (see 'Options'). Valid options are: 1 unchanged 2 flipped horizontally 3 rotated 180 degrees 4 flipped vertically 5 flipped horizontally, then rotated left by 90 degrees 6 rotated clockwise by 90 degrees 7 flipped horizontally, then rotated right by 90 degrees 8 rotated counter-clockwise by 90 degrees |
| destroy() | Destroy a croppie instance and remove it from the DOM | ||
| result({ type, size, format, quality, circle }) | Promise | Get the resulting crop of the image | type - The type of result to return defaults to 'canvas' 'base64': returns a the cropped image encoded in base64 'html': returns html of the image positioned within an div of hidden overflow 'blob': returns a blob of the cropped image 'rawcanvas': returns the canvas element allowing you to manipulate prior to getting the resulted image size - The size of the cropped image defaults to 'viewport' 'viewport': the size of the resulting image will be the same width and height as the viewport 'original': the size of the resulting image will be at the original scale of the image {width, height} an object defining the width and height. If only one dimension is specified, the other will be calculated using the viewport aspect ratio. format - Indicating the image format. Default: 'png' Valid values: 'jpeg' | 'png' | 'webp' quality - Number between 0 and 1 indicating image quality. Default: 1 circle - force the result to be cropped into a circle Valid Values: true | false |

$('.croppie').on('update.croppie', function(ev, cropData) {
