react-mask-editor
Advanced tools
A drop-in component to add simple image mask editing to your React application. Uses <canvas> for rendering & interaction, with optional support for customizing how the mask is displayed & edited.
You give React Mask Editor an image, and it lets the user 'scribble' over that image to create a 1-bit (black or white) mask. Think Photoshop, Lightroom, or Aperture.

First, some setup:
yarn install react-mask-editorimport { MaskEditor, toMask } from "react-mask-editor";node_modules/react-mask-editor/dist/style.css somewhere in your bundle.Usage:
const MyComponent: React.FC<{}> = () => {
const canvas = React.useRef<HTMLCanvasElement>();
return <>
<MaskEditor
src="https://placekitten/256/256"
canvasRef={canvas}
/>
<button
onClick={() => console.log(toMask(canvas.current))}
>
Get Mask
</button>
</>
}
You can customize the editor using additional, optional props:
| Prop | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
cursorSize | Radius (in pixels) of the brush for editing the mask | 10 |
onCursorSizeChange | Callback fired when the user changes the brush size via mousewheel. If not provided, mouse wheel events will be ignored. | undefined |
maskOpacity | CSS opacity, decimal between 0 – 1 | 0.75 |
maskColor | A hex color (with or without leading '#'). | #23272d |
maskBlendMode | The CSS blending mode for the mask layer. Doesn't affect the output mask, just how it renders on top of your source image. | normal |
