A Flutter plugin for Android, iOS and Web supports cropping images. This plugin is based on three different native libraries so it comes with different UI between these platforms.
Image Cropper doesn't manipulate images in Dart codes directly, instead, the plugin uses Platform Channel to expose Dart APIs that Flutter application can use to communicate with three very powerful native libraries (uCrop, TOCropViewController and croppie) to crop and rotate images. Because of that, all credits belong to these libraries.
This project aims to provide an ultimate and flexible image cropping experience. Made in Yalantis
TOCropViewController is an open-source UIViewController subclass to crop out sections of UIImage objects, as well as perform basic rotations. It is excellent for things like editing profile pictures, or sharing parts of a photo online. It has been designed with the iOS Photos app editor in mind, and as such, behaves in a way that should already feel familiar to users of iOS.
Croppie is a fast, easy to use image cropping plugin with tons of configuration options!
- Add UCropActivity into your AndroidManifest.xml
<activity
android:name="com.yalantis.ucrop.UCropActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"/>From v1.2.0, you need to migrate your android project to v2 embedding (detail)
- No configuration required
- Add following codes inside
<head>tag in fileweb/index.html:

</head>- sourcePath: the absolute path of an image file.
-
maxWidth: maximum cropped image width. Note: this field is ignored on Web.
-
maxHeight: maximum cropped image height. Note: this field is ignored on Web.
-
aspectRatio: controls the aspect ratio of crop bounds. If this values is set, the cropper is locked and user can't change the aspect ratio of crop bounds. Note: this field is ignored on Web.
-
aspectRatioPresets: controls the list of aspect ratios in the crop menu view. In Android, you can set the initialized aspect ratio when starting the cropper by setting the value of
AndroidUiSettings.initAspectRatio. Note: this field is ignored on Web. -
cropStyle: controls the style of crop bounds, it can be rectangle or circle style (default is
CropStyle.rectangle). Note: this field can be overrided byWebUiSettings.viewPort.typeon Web -
compressFormat: the format of result image, png or jpg (default is ImageCompressFormat.jpg).
-
compressQuality: number between 0 and 100 to control the quality of image compression.
-
uiSettings: controls UI customization on specific platform (android, ios, web,...)
-
Android: see Android customization.
-
iOS: see iOS customization.
-
Web: see Web customization.
-
-
The result file is saved in
NSTemporaryDirectoryon iOS and application Cache directory on Android, so it can be lost later, you are responsible for storing it somewhere permanent (if needed). -
The implementation on Web is much different compared to the implementation on mobile app. It causes some configuration fields not working (
maxWidth,maxHeight,aspectRatio,aspectRatioPresets) on Web. -
WebUiSettingsis required for Web.

Image Cropper provides a helper class called IOUiSettings that wraps all properties can be used to customize UI in TOCropViewController library.
| Property | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
minimumAspectRatio |
The minimum croping aspect ratio. If set, user is prevented from setting cropping rectangle to lower aspect ratio than defined by the parameter | double |
rectX |
The initial rect of cropping: x. | double |
rectY |
The initial rect of cropping: y. | double |
rectWidth |
The initial rect of cropping: width. | double |
rectHeight |
The initial rect of cropping: height. | double |
showActivitySheetOnDone |
If true, when the user hits 'Done', a UIActivityController will appear before the view controller ends |
bool |
showCancelConfirmationDialog |
Shows a confirmation dialog when the user hits 'Cancel' and there are pending changes (default is false) | bool |
rotateClockwiseButtonHidden |
When disabled, an additional rotation button that rotates the canvas in 90-degree segments in a clockwise direction is shown in the toolbar (default is false) | bool |
hidesNavigationBar |
If this controller is embedded in UINavigationController its navigation bar is hidden by default. Set this property to false to show the navigation bar. This must be set before this controller is presented |
bool |
rotateButtonsHidden |
When enabled, hides the rotation button, as well as the alternative rotation button visible when showClockwiseRotationButton is set to YES (default is false) |
bool |
resetButtonHidden |
When enabled, hides the 'Reset' button on the toolbar (default is false) | bool |
aspectRatioPickerButtonHidden |
When enabled, hides the 'Aspect Ratio Picker' button on the toolbar (default is false) | bool |
resetAspectRatioEnabled |
If true, tapping the reset button will also reset the aspect ratio back to the image default ratio. Otherwise, the reset will just zoom out to the current aspect ratio. If this is set to false, and aspectRatioLockEnabled is set to true, then the aspect ratio button will automatically be hidden from the toolbar (default is true) |
bool |
aspectRatioLockDimensionSwapEnabled |
If true, a custom aspect ratio is set, and the aspectRatioLockEnabled is set to true, the crop box will swap it's dimensions depending on portrait or landscape sized images. This value also controls whether the dimensions can swap when the image is rotated (default is false) |
bool |
aspectRatioLockEnabled |
If true, while it can still be resized, the crop box will be locked to its current aspect ratio. If this is set to true, and resetAspectRatioEnabled is set to false, then the aspect ratio button will automatically be hidden from the toolbar (default is false) |
bool |
title |
Title text that appears at the top of the view controller. | String |
doneButtonTitle |
Title for the 'Done' button. Setting this will override the Default which is a localized string for "Done" | String |
cancelButtonTitle |
Title for the 'Cancel' button. Setting this will override the Default which is a localized string for "Cancel" | String |

Image Cropper provides a helper class called WebUiSettings that wraps all properties can be used to customize UI in croppie library.

The outer container of the cropper. Default = { width: 500, height: 500 } | Boundary |
viewPort |
The inner container of the coppie. The visible part of the image. Valid type values:'square' 'circle'. Default = { width: 400, height: 400, type: 'square' } | ViewPort |
customClass |
A class of your choosing to add to the container to add custom styles to your croppie. Default = '' | String |
enableExif |
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 (packages/croppie_dart/lib/src/exif.js) | bool |

If using CropperDialogBuilder and CropperRouteBuilder to customize cropper dialog and route, the customization codes need to call crop() function to trigger crop feature and then returning the cropped result data to the plugin by using Navigator.of(context).pop(result).

child: Builder(
builder: (context) {

TextButton(
onPressed: () async {
/// it is important to call crop() function and return
/// result data to plugin, for example:
final result = await crop();
Navigator.of(context).pop(result);
},
child: Text('Crop'),
)
]

Web implementation requires WebUiSettings object but this object contains some JS codes, so it cannot be compiled in mobile app. We should use conditional importing to workaround this problem.
For example:
import 'package:image_cropper/image_cropper.dart';
import 'cropper/ui_helper.dart'
if (dart.library.io) 'cropper/mobile_ui_helper.dart'
if (dart.library.html) 'cropper/web_ui_helper.dart';
CroppedFile croppedFile = await ImageCropper().cropImage(
sourcePath: imageFile.path,
aspectRatioPresets: [
CropAspectRatioPreset.square,
CropAspectRatioPreset.ratio3x2,
CropAspectRatioPreset.original,
CropAspectRatioPreset.ratio4x3,
CropAspectRatioPreset.ratio16x9
],
uiSettings: buildUiSettings(context),
);
