# Image Cropper URL: https://ark-ui.com/docs/components/image-cropper Source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chakra-ui/ark/refs/heads/main/website/src/content/pages/components/image-cropper.mdx Crop and transform images with zoom, rotation, and aspect ratio controls. --- ## Anatomy ```tsx ``` ## Examples ### Basic Set up a basic image cropper. Drag the handles to resize the selection, or drag inside to pan the image. **Example: basic** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Basic = () => { return (
{ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Basic = () => { return (
{(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Aspect Ratio Lock the crop area to a specific aspect ratio. Use the `aspectRatio` prop—pass a number like `16/9` for widescreen or `1` for square. **Example: aspect-ratio** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import { RectangleHorizontalIcon, SquareIcon, RectangleVerticalIcon } from 'lucide-react' import { useState } from 'react' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' const aspects = [ { label: '16:9', value: 16 / 9, icon: RectangleHorizontalIcon }, { label: '1:1', value: 1, icon: SquareIcon }, { label: '9:16', value: 9 / 16, icon: RectangleVerticalIcon }, ] export const AspectRatio = () => { const [aspectRatio, setAspectRatio] = useState(16 / 9) return (
{aspects.map((aspect) => ( ))}
{ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For, createSignal } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import { RectangleHorizontalIcon, SquareIcon, RectangleVerticalIcon } from 'lucide-solid' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' const aspects = [ { label: '16:9', value: 16 / 9, icon: RectangleHorizontalIcon }, { label: '1:1', value: 1, icon: SquareIcon }, { label: '9:16', value: 9 / 16, icon: RectangleVerticalIcon }, ] export const AspectRatio = () => { const [aspectRatio, setAspectRatio] = createSignal(16 / 9) return (
{(aspect) => ( )}
{(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
{#each aspects as aspect} {/each}
{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Circle Crop Use `cropShape="circle"` for profile pictures or avatars. The selection becomes a circle instead of a rectangle. **Example: circle** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Circle = () => { return (
{ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Circle = () => { return (
{(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Initial Crop Start with a pre-defined crop area using the `initialCrop` prop. Pass an object with `x`, `y`, `width`, and `height` in pixels. **Example: initial-crop** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const InitialCrop = () => { return (

Starts with a pre-defined crop area

{ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const InitialCrop = () => { return (

Starts with a pre-defined crop area

{(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte

Starts with a pre-defined crop area

{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Controlled Zoom Control zoom programmatically with the `zoom` and `onZoomChange` props. Useful when you want external buttons to zoom in and out. **Example: controlled-zoom** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import { ZoomInIcon, ZoomOutIcon } from 'lucide-react' import { useState } from 'react' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const ControlledZoom = () => { const [zoom, setZoom] = useState(1) return (
{zoom.toFixed(1)}x
setZoom(e.zoom)}> {ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For, createSignal } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import { ZoomInIcon, ZoomOutIcon } from 'lucide-solid' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const ControlledZoom = () => { const [zoom, setZoom] = createSignal(1) return (
{zoom().toFixed(1)}x
setZoom(e.zoom)}> {(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
{zoom.toFixed(1)}x
{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Zoom Limits Set `minZoom` and `maxZoom` to constrain how far users can zoom. Prevents over-zooming or zooming out past the image bounds. **Example: zoom-limits** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import { ZoomInIcon, ZoomOutIcon } from 'lucide-react' import { useState } from 'react' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const ZoomLimits = () => { const [zoom, setZoom] = useState(1) const minZoom = 0.5 const maxZoom = 2 return (
{zoom.toFixed(1)}x

Zoom constrained between {minZoom}x and {maxZoom}x

setZoom(e.zoom)} minZoom={minZoom} maxZoom={maxZoom} > {ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For, createSignal } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import { ZoomInIcon, ZoomOutIcon } from 'lucide-solid' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const ZoomLimits = () => { const [zoom, setZoom] = createSignal(1) const minZoom = 0.5 const maxZoom = 2 return (
{zoom().toFixed(1)}x

Zoom constrained between {minZoom}x and {maxZoom}x

setZoom(e.zoom)} minZoom={minZoom} maxZoom={maxZoom} > {(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
{zoom.toFixed(1)}x

Zoom constrained between {minZoom}x and {maxZoom}x

{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Rotation Rotate the image with the `rotation` and `onRotationChange` props. Values are in degrees—common increments are 90 or 180. **Example: rotation** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import { RotateCcwIcon, RotateCwIcon } from 'lucide-react' import { useState } from 'react' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Rotation = () => { const [rotation, setRotation] = useState(0) return (
{rotation}°
setRotation(e.rotation)}> {ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For, createSignal } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import { RotateCcwIcon, RotateCwIcon } from 'lucide-solid' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Rotation = () => { const [rotation, setRotation] = createSignal(0) return (
{rotation()}deg
setRotation(e.rotation)}> {(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
{rotation}deg
(rotation = e.rotation)}> {#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Flip Flip the image horizontally or vertically using the `flip` prop. Pass an object with `horizontal` and `vertical` booleans. **Example: flip** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import { FlipHorizontalIcon, FlipVerticalIcon } from 'lucide-react' import { useState } from 'react' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Flip = () => { const [flip, setFlip] = useState({ horizontal: false, vertical: false }) return (
setFlip(e.flip)}> {ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For, createSignal } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import { FlipHorizontalIcon, FlipVerticalIcon } from 'lucide-solid' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Flip = () => { const [flip, setFlip] = createSignal({ horizontal: false, vertical: false }) return (
setFlip(e.flip)}> {(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
(flip = e.flip)}> {#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Min and Max Size Constrain the crop area size with `minWidth`, `minHeight`, `maxWidth`, and `maxHeight`. Keeps the selection within sensible bounds. **Example: min-max-size** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const MinMaxSize = () => { return (

Crop area constrained to min 80px and max 200px

{ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const MinMaxSize = () => { return (

Crop area constrained to min 80px and max 200px

{(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte

Crop area constrained to min 80px and max 200px

{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Fixed Crop Area Set `fixedCropArea` to `true` when the crop area should stay fixed while the image moves underneath. Useful for overlay-style cropping. **Example: fixed** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Fixed = () => { return (
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Fixed = () => { return (
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
``` ### Crop Preview Use `getCroppedImage()` from the context to get the cropped result. Call it with `{ output: 'dataUrl' }` for a base64 string you can use in an `img` src. **Example: crop-preview** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper, useImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import { CropIcon } from 'lucide-react' import { useState } from 'react' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const CropPreview = () => { const imageCropper = useImageCropper() const [preview, setPreview] = useState(null) const handleCrop = async () => { const result = await imageCropper.getCroppedImage({ output: 'dataUrl' }) if (typeof result === 'string') { setPreview(result) } } return (
{ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
Preview {preview && Cropped preview}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For, createSignal, Show } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper, useImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import { CropIcon } from 'lucide-solid' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const CropPreview = () => { const imageCropper = useImageCropper() const [preview, setPreview] = createSignal(null) const handleCrop = async () => { const result = await imageCropper().getCroppedImage({ output: 'dataUrl' }) if (typeof result === 'string') { setPreview(result) } } return (
{(position) => (
)}
Preview Cropped preview
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
Preview {#if preview} Cropped preview {/if}
``` ### Reset The context exposes a `reset()` method that restores the image to its initial state. Handy for an "undo" or "start over" button. **Example: reset** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper, useImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import { FlipHorizontalIcon, RotateCwIcon, RotateCcwIcon, RefreshCwIcon, ZoomInIcon, ZoomOutIcon } from 'lucide-react' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Reset = () => { const imageCropper = useImageCropper() return (
{ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper, useImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import { FlipHorizontalIcon, RotateCwIcon, RotateCcwIcon, RefreshCwIcon, ZoomInIcon, ZoomOutIcon } from 'lucide-solid' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Reset = () => { const imageCropper = useImageCropper() return (
{(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Events Listen to `onCropChange` and `onZoomChange` to track crop position and zoom level. Use these to sync with external state or show live previews. **Example: events** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import { useState } from 'react' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Events = () => { const [cropData, setCropData] = useState({ x: 0, y: 0, width: 0, height: 0 }) const [zoom, setZoom] = useState(1) return (
setCropData(e.crop)} onZoomChange={(e) => setZoom(e.zoom)} > {ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
Zoom {zoom.toFixed(2)}x
Position {Math.round(cropData.x)}, {Math.round(cropData.y)}
Size {Math.round(cropData.width)} × {Math.round(cropData.height)}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For, createSignal } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Events = () => { const [cropData, setCropData] = createSignal({ x: 0, y: 0, width: 0, height: 0 }) const [zoom, setZoom] = createSignal(1) return (
setCropData(e.crop)} onZoomChange={(e) => setZoom(e.zoom)} > {(position) => (
)}
Zoom {zoom().toFixed(2)}x
Position {Math.round(cropData().x)}, {Math.round(cropData().y)}
Size {Math.round(cropData().width)} x {Math.round(cropData().height)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
(cropData = e.crop)} onZoomChange={(e) => (zoom = e.zoom)} > {#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
Zoom {zoom.toFixed(2)}x
Position {Math.round(cropData.x)}, {Math.round(cropData.y)}
Size {Math.round(cropData.width)} x {Math.round(cropData.height)}
``` ### Context Use `ImageCropper.Context` to access the cropper API from anywhere inside the root. You get methods like `zoomBy`, `rotateBy`, and `setZoom`. **Example: context** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import { ZoomInIcon, ZoomOutIcon } from 'lucide-react' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Context = () => { return (
{(context) => (
{context.zoom.toFixed(1)}x
)}
{ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import { ZoomInIcon, ZoomOutIcon } from 'lucide-solid' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const Context = () => { return (
{(context) => (
{context().zoom.toFixed(1)}x
)}
{(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
{#snippet render(context: UseImageCropperContext)}
{context().zoom.toFixed(1)}x
{/snippet}
{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
``` ### Root Provider Use `RootProvider` with `useImageCropper` when you need to control the cropper from outside the component tree. Build custom toolbars or integrate with form state. **Example: root-provider** #### React ```tsx import { ImageCropper, useImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/react/image-cropper' import { ZoomInIcon, ZoomOutIcon } from 'lucide-react' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const RootProvider = () => { const imageCropper = useImageCropper() return (
{imageCropper.zoom.toFixed(1)}x
{ImageCropper.handles.map((position) => (
))}
) } ``` #### Solid ```tsx import { For } from 'solid-js' import { ImageCropper, useImageCropper } from '@ark-ui/solid/image-cropper' import { ZoomInIcon, ZoomOutIcon } from 'lucide-solid' import button from 'styles/button.module.css' import styles from 'styles/image-cropper.module.css' export const RootProvider = () => { const imageCropper = useImageCropper() return (
{imageCropper().zoom.toFixed(1)}x
{(position) => (
)}
) } ``` #### Vue ```vue ``` #### Svelte ```svelte
{imageCropper().zoom.toFixed(1)}x
{#each ImageCropper.handles as position}
{/each}
