ngx-image-cropper
Advanced tools
The ngx-image-cropper is an Angular library that provides a highly customizable image cropping tool. It allows users to crop images in various shapes and sizes, and offers a range of features to enhance the image cropping experience.
Basic Image Cropping
This feature allows users to crop images while maintaining a specific aspect ratio. The cropped image is emitted in the specified format (e.g., PNG).
<image-cropper [imageChangedEvent]="imageChangedEvent" [maintainAspectRatio]="true" [aspectRatio]="4 / 3" format="png" (imageCropped)="imageCropped($event)"></image-cropper>
Free Aspect Ratio Cropping
This feature allows users to crop images without maintaining a fixed aspect ratio, providing more flexibility in selecting the crop area.
<image-cropper [imageChangedEvent]="imageChangedEvent" [maintainAspectRatio]="false" format="jpeg" (imageCropped)="imageCropped($event)"></image-cropper>
Round Cropping
This feature allows users to crop images in a circular shape, which is useful for profile pictures and other round image requirements.
<image-cropper [imageChangedEvent]="imageChangedEvent" [maintainAspectRatio]="true" [aspectRatio]="1 / 1" [roundCropper]="true" format="png" (imageCropped)="imageCropped($event)"></image-cropper>
Image Rotation
This feature allows users to rotate the image before cropping, ensuring the image is properly oriented.
<image-cropper [imageChangedEvent]="imageChangedEvent" [maintainAspectRatio]="true" [aspectRatio]="4 / 3" format="png" (imageCropped)="imageCropped($event)" (imageLoaded)="imageLoaded()" (cropperReady)="cropperReady()" (loadImageFailed)="loadImageFailed()"></image-cropper>
Cropper.js is a JavaScript image cropping library that provides a rich set of features for cropping images. It is highly customizable and can be used with various frameworks, including Angular. Compared to ngx-image-cropper, Cropper.js offers more advanced features and greater flexibility but requires more setup and integration effort.
React Image Crop is a library specifically designed for React applications. It provides a simple and easy-to-use interface for cropping images. While it offers similar functionalities to ngx-image-cropper, it is tailored for React rather than Angular, making it a better choice for React developers.
Vue Cropper is a Vue.js component for image cropping. It offers a range of features similar to ngx-image-cropper but is designed for use with Vue.js. It provides a seamless integration with Vue applications and is a good alternative for developers working with the Vue framework.
npm install ngx-image-cropper --save
Add the ImageCropperModule to the imports of the module which will be using the Image Cropper.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { ImageCropperModule } from 'ngx-image-cropper';
@NgModule({
imports: [
...
ImageCropperModule
],
declarations: [
...
],
exports: [
...
],
providers: [
...
]
})
export class YourModule {
}
Add the element to your HTML:
<input type="file" (change)="fileChangeEvent($event)" />
<image-cropper
[imageChangedEvent]="imageChangedEvent"
[maintainAspectRatio]="true"
[aspectRatio]="4 / 3"
format="png"
(imageCropped)="imageCropped($event)"
(imageLoaded)="imageLoaded()"
(cropperReady)="cropperReady()"
(loadImageFailed)="loadImageFailed()"
></image-cropper>
<img [src]="croppedImage" />
And add this to your ts file:
import { ImageCroppedEvent } from 'ngx-image-cropper';
export class YourComponent {
imageChangedEvent: any = '';
croppedImage: any = '';
fileChangeEvent(event: any): void {
this.imageChangedEvent = event;
}
imageCropped(event: ImageCroppedEvent) {
this.croppedImage = event.base64;
}
imageLoaded() {
// show cropper
}
cropperReady() {
// cropper ready
}
loadImageFailed() {
// show message
}
}
When you choose a file from the file input, it will trigger fileChangeEvent
.
That event is then passed to the image cropper through imageChangedEvent
which will load the image into the cropper.
Everytime you release the mouse, the imageCropped
event will be triggerd with the cropped image as a Base64 string in its payload.
All inputs are optional. Either the imageChangedEvent
, imageBase64
or imageFile
should be set to load an image into the cropper.
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
imageChangedEvent | FileEvent | The change event from your file input (set to null to reset the cropper) | |
imageFile | Blob(File) | The file you want to change (set to null to reset the cropper) | |
imageBase64 | string | If you don't want to use a file input, you can set a base64 image directly and it will be loaded into the cropper | |
imageURL | string | If you don't want to use a file input or a base64 you can set an URL to get the image from. If requesting an image from a different domain make sure Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is allowed or the image will fail to load. | |
format | string | png | Output format (png, jpeg, webp, bmp, ico) (not all browsers support all types, png is always supported, others are optional) |
aspectRatio | number | 1 / 1 | The width / height ratio (e.g. 1 / 1 for a square, 4 / 3, 16 / 9 ...) |
maintainAspectRatio | boolean | true | Keep width and height of cropped image equal according to the aspectRatio |
containWithinAspectRatio | boolean | false | When set to true, padding will be added around the image to make it fit to the aspect ratio |
resizeToWidth | number | 0 (disabled) | Cropped image will be resized to this width (in px) |
resizeToHeight | number | 0 (disabled) | Cropped image will be resized to this height (in px) (will be ignored if resizeToWidth is set) |
cropperMinWidth | number | 0 (disabled) | The cropper cannot be made smaller than this number of pixels in width (relative to original image's size) (in px) |
cropperMinHeight | number | 0 (disabled) | The cropper cannot be made smaller than this number of pixels in height (relative to original image's size) (in px) (will be ignored if maintainAspectRatio is set) |
initialStepSize | number | 3 (px) | The initial step size in pixels when moving the cropper using the keyboard. Step size can then be changed by using the numpad when the cropper is focused |
onlyScaleDown | boolean | false | When the resizeToWidth is set, enabling this option will make sure smaller images are not scaled up |
cropper | CropperPosition | To be able to overwrite the cropper coordinates, you can use this input. Create a new object of type CropperPosition and assign it to this input. Make sure to create a new object each time you wish to overwrite the cropper's position and wait for the cropperReady event to have fired. | |
roundCropper | boolean | false | Set this to true for a round cropper. Resulting image will still be square, use border-radius: 100% on resulting image to show it as round. |
imageQuality | number | 92 | This only applies when using jpeg or webp as output format. Entering a number between 0 and 100 will determine the quality of the output image. |
autoCrop | boolean | true | When set to true, the cropper will emit an image each time the position or size of the cropper is changed. When set to false, you can call the crop method yourself (use @ViewChild to get access to the croppers methods). |
alignImage | 'left' or 'center' | 'center' | Use this to align the image in the cropper either to the left or center. |
backgroundColor | string | Use this to set a backgroundColor, this is useful if you upload an image of a format with transparent colors and convert it to 'jpeg' or 'bmp'. The transparent pixels will then become the set color or the default value. Enter a color HashCode or one of known HTML color names (https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colornames.asp). | |
hideResizeSquares | boolean | false | Disables the resize-squares at the border of the cropper. This is mostly useful for Touch Devices where you can change the Size of the Cropper via Pinch-To-Zoom |
disabled | boolean | false | Disables the component and prevents changing the cropper position |
canvasRotation | number | 0 | Rotate the canvas (1 = 90deg, 2 = 180deg...) |
transform | ImageTransform | {} | Flip, rotate and scale image |
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
--cropper-outline-color | string | rgba(255,255,255,0.3) | Use this to set the outline Color of the Cropper. This is the Overlay-Color over the Image which is not part of the Cropper. |
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
imageCropped | ImageCroppedEvent | Emits an ImageCroppedEvent each time the image is cropped |
imageLoaded | void | Emits when the image was loaded into the cropper |

loadImageFailed | void | Emits when a wrong file type was selected (only png, gif and jpg are allowed) |
To gain access to the image cropper's methods use @ViewChild(ImageCropperComponent) imageCropper: ImageCropperComponent;
Name | Returns | Description |
---|---|---|
crop | ImageCroppedEvent | Crops the source image to the current cropper position. Be sure to set autoCrop to false if you only wish to use this function directly. |
