$('.container > img').cropper({
  aspectRatio: 16 / 9,
  crop: function(e) {
    // Output the result data for cropping image.
    console.log(e.x);

FAQ

See the FAQ documentation.

Notes

The size of the cropper inherits from the size of the image's parent element (wrapper), so be sure to wrap the image with a visible block element.
The outputted cropped data bases on the original image size, so you can use them to crop the image directly.
If you try to start cropper on a cross-origin image, please make sure that your browser supports HTML5 CORS settings attributes, and your image server supports the Access-Control-Allow-Origin option.

Known issues

About getCroppedCanvas method: The canvas.drawImage API in some Mac OS / iOS browsers will rotate an image with EXIF Orientation automatically, so the output cropped canvas may be incorrect. To fix this, you may upload the cropped data and crop the image in the server-side, see the example: Crop Avatar. Or you may handle the EXIF Orientation in server first before to use cropper.
Known iOS resource limits: As iOS devices limit memory, the browser may crash when you are cropping a large image (iPhone camera resolution). To avoid this, you may resize the image first (below 1024px) before start a cropper.

Options

You may set cropper options with $().cropper(options). If you want to change the global default options, You may use $.fn.cropper.setDefaults(options).

aspectRatio

Type: Number
Default: NaN

Set the aspect ratio of the crop box. By default, the crop box is free ratio.

data

Type: Object
Default: null

The previous cropped data if you had stored, will be passed to setData method automatically.

preview

Type: String (jQuery selector)
Default: ''

Add extra elements (containers) for previewing.

Notes:

The maximum width is the initial width of preview container.
The maximum height is the initial height of preview container.
If you set an aspectRatio option, be sure to set the preview container with the same aspect ratio.
If preview is not getting properly displayed, set overflow:hidden to the preview container.

strict

Type: Boolean
Default: true

In strict mode, the crop box cannot be outside of the canvas (image wrapper).

responsive

Type: Boolean
Default: true

Rebuild the cropper when resize the window.

checkImageOrigin

Type: Boolean
Default: true

By default, the plugin will check the image origin, and if it is a cross-origin image, a crossOrigin attribute will be added to the image element and a timestamp will be added to the image url to reload the image for "getCroppedCanvas".

By adding crossOrigin attribute to image will stop adding timestamp to image url, and stop reload of image.

$().on('zoom.cropper', function (e) {
  var maxRatio = 10;
  var imageData = $(this).cropper('getImageData');
  var currentRatio = imageData.width / imageData.naturalWidth;

  // Zoom in
  if (e.ratio > 0 && currentRatio > maxRatio) {

    // Prevent zoom in
    e.preventDefault();

    // Fit the max zoom ratio
    $(this).cropper('setCanvasData', {
      width: imageData.naturalWidth * maxRatio
    });
  }

  // Zoom out
  // ...
});

No conflict

If you have to use other plugin with the same namespace, just call the $.fn.cropper.noConflict method to revert to it.

<script src="other-plugin.js"></script>
<script src="cropper.js"></script>
