Frequently asked questions regarding implementing the cropper
Introduction
This section covers any frequently asked questions, I will slowly build this list up as I see regular questions arise.
1. How do I save the cropped image?
The JavaScript Image Cropper UI is simply a JavaScript interface to allow a user to select the area of an image they wish to crop. Physically cropping and saving the image is beyond the abilities of JavaScript and should be performed server-side, this usually works in the following process:
- User uploads image
- Cropper is displayed
- User selects area to crop and submits a form
- Server crops and saves the image (may also resize - e.g. for a fixed size avatar)
- Present user with the cropped and saved image
3rd Party Server-Side Implementations
There are some 3rd party server-side implementations that work with the JavaScript Image Cropper:
PHP:

(Note if you have a server side implementation of the cropper which not listed above please contact us via the Google Group
2. How do I prevent the user from re-sizing the cropper
You can prevent a user from re-sizing the cropper on either a single or both axes by setting the min dimension & max dimension to the same value - this will make the cropper not display the appropriate resize handles, e.g.:
- Set minWidth and maxWidth to same value and the user will not be able to change the width.
- Set minHeight and maxHeight to the same value and the user will not be able to change the height.
- Do both of the above and the user will not be able to resize the cropper at all.

Hi - First of all: very nice work with the cropper. I have looked and tried all your examples and it feels and looks awsome!
I did find some explanation on what the asp-serverside script would look like, but i cant get that one work?
Can you provide in the download-zip an example of php and asp script to demonstrate how it works? I want to save the crop in a database/webfolder.
Thanks!
