Crop Images with jQuery, JCrop and ASP.NET
Posted by Samath
Last Updated: January 11, 2015

Want to allow users to crop images on your website? Or maybe you just simple want to know how to do this. Look no further you are in good hands. I will be using a JQuery Plugin called JCrop to do this. Jcrop is the quick and easy way to add image cropping functionality to your web application. It combines the ease-of-use of a typical jQuery plugin with a powerful cross-platform DHTML cropping engine that is faithful to familiar desktop graphics applications. The code will be provided below. There is also a download link for the project. Enjoy!

JCrop Currently have the following features:

Attaches unobtrusively to images or block objects

Supports aspect ratio locking

Supports minSize/maxSize setting

Callbacks for selection done, or while moving

Keyboard support for nudging selection

API features to create interactivity, including animation

Support for CSS styling, now uses LESS

Touch support for iOS, Android, etc
