Usage

import React from 'react'
import AvatarEditor from 'react-avatar-editor'

class MyEditor extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <AvatarEditor
        image="http://example.com/initialimage.jpg"
        width={250}
        height={250}
        border={50}
        color={[255, 255, 255, 0.6]} // RGBA
        scale={1.2}
        rotate={0}
      />
    )
  }
}

export default MyEditor

Props

Prop	Type	Description
image	String|File	The URL of the image to use, or a File (e.g. from a file input).
width	Number	The total width of the editor.
height	Number	The total height of the editor.
border	Number|Number[]	The cropping border. Image will be visible through the border, but cut off in the resulting image. Treated as horizontal and vertical borders when passed an array.
borderRadius	Number	The cropping area border radius.
color	Number[]	The color of the cropping border, in the form: [red (0-255), green (0-255), blue (0-255), alpha (0.0-1.0)].
backgroundColor	String	The background color of the image if it's transparent.
style	Object	Styles for the canvas element.
scale	Number	The scale of the image. You can use this to add your own resizing slider.
position	Object	The x and y co-ordinates (in the range 0 to 1) of the center of the cropping area of the image. Note that if you set this prop, you will need to keep it up to date via onPositionChange in order for panning to continue working.
rotate	Number	The rotation degree of the image. You can use this to rotate image (e.g 90, 270 degrees).
crossOrigin	String	The value to use for the crossOrigin property of the image, if loaded from a non-data URL. Valid values are "anonymous" and "use-credentials". See this page for more information.
className	String|String[]	className property passed to the canvas element
onLoadFailure(event)	function	Invoked when an image (whether passed by props or dropped) load fails.
onLoadSuccess(imgInfo)	function	Invoked when an image (whether passed by props or dropped) load succeeds.
onImageReady(event)	function	Invoked when the image is painted on the canvas the first time.
onMouseUp()	function	Invoked when the user releases their mouse button after interacting with the editor.
onMouseMove(event)	function	Invoked when the user hold and moving the image.
onImageChange()	function	Invoked when the user changed the image. Not invoked on the first render, and invoked multiple times during drag, etc.
onPositionChange()	function	Invoked when the user pans the editor to change the selected area of the image. Passed a position object in the form { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 } where x and y are the relative x and y coordinates of the center of the selected area.
disableBoundaryChecks	Boolean	Set to true to allow the image to be moved outside the cropping boundary.
disableHiDPIScaling	Boolean	Set to true to disable devicePixelRatio based canvas scaling. Can improve perfermance of very large canvases on mobile devices.

Accessing the resulting image

The resulting image will have the same resolution as the original image, regardless of the editor's size. If you want the image sized in the dimensions of the canvas you can use getImageScaledToCanvas.

import React from 'react'
import AvatarEditor from 'react-avatar-editor'

class MyEditor extends React.Component {
  onClickSave = () => {
    if (this.editor) {
      // This returns a HTMLCanvasElement, it can be made into a data URL or a blob,
      // drawn on another canvas, or added to the DOM.
      const canvas = this.editor.getImage()

      // If you want the image resized to the canvas size (also a HTMLCanvasElement)
      const canvasScaled = this.editor.getImageScaledToCanvas()
    }
  }

  setEditorRef = (editor) => (this.editor = editor)

  render() {
    return (
      <AvatarEditor
        ref={this.setEditorRef}
        image="http://example.com/initialimage.jpg"
        width={250}
        height={250}
        border={50}
        scale={1.2}
      />
    )
  }
}

export default MyEditor

Adding drag and drop

We recommend using react-dropzone. It allows you to add drag and drop support to anything really easy. Here is an example how to use it with react-avatar-editor:

import React from 'react'
import AvatarEditor from 'react-avatar-editor'
import Dropzone from 'react-dropzone'

class MyEditor extends React.Component {
  state = {
    image: 'http://example.com/initialimage.jpg',
  }

  handleDrop = (dropped) => {
    this.setState({ image: dropped[0] })
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Dropzone
        onDrop={this.handleDrop}
        noClick
        noKeyboard
        style={{ width: '250px', height: '250px' }}
      >
        {({ getRootProps, getInputProps }) => (
          <div {...getRootProps()}>
            <AvatarEditor width={250} height={250} image={this.state.image} />
            <input {...getInputProps()} />
          </div>
        )}
      </Dropzone>
    )
  }
}

Accessing the cropping rectangle

Sometimes you will need to get the cropping rectangle (the coordinates of the area of the image to keep), for example in case you intend to perform the actual cropping server-side.

getCroppingRect() returns an object with four properties: x, y, width and height; all relative to the image size (that is, comprised between 0 and 1). It is a method of AvatarEditor elements, like getImage().

Note that: getImage() returns a canvas element and if you want to use it in src attribute of img, convert it into a blob url.

const canvas = this.editor.getImage().toDataURL();
let imageURL;
fetch(canvas)
  .then(res => res.blob())
  .then(blob => (imageURL = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob)));

// Usage
<img src={imageURL} ... />
