django-image-cropping is an app for cropping uploaded images via Django's admin backend using `Jcrop
<https://github.com/tapmodo/Jcrop>`_.

django-image-cropping is perfect when you need images with a specific size for your templates but want your
users or editors to upload images of any dimension. It presents a selection with a fixed aspect ratio so your users
can't break the layout with oddly-sized images.
The original images are kept intact and only get cropped when they are displayed.
Large images are presented in a small format, so even very big images can easily be cropped.
The necessary fields, widgets and a template tag for displaying the
cropped image in your templates are provided.
Also works with `FeinCMS <https://github.com/feincms/feincms>`_ content types!
Installation
============
#. Install django-image-cropping using ``pip``::
pip install django-image-cropping
By default ``django-image-cropping`` ships with an ``easy-thumbnails``-backend which requires ``easy-thumbnails`` to also be installed
and added to the ``INSTALLED_APPS``.
The `easy-thumbnails` backend requires that you adjust the thumbnail processors in your ``settings``::
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'easy_thumbnails',
'image_cropping',
]
from easy_thumbnails.conf import Settings as thumbnail_settings
THUMBNAIL_PROCESSORS = (
'image_cropping.thumbnail_processors.crop_corners',
) + thumbnail_settings.THUMBNAIL_PROCESSORS
Configuration
=============
Add an ``ImageRatioField`` to the model that contains the ``ImageField`` for the images you want to crop.
The ``ImageRatioField`` simply stores the boundaries of the cropped image.
It expects the name of the associated ``ImageField`` and the desired size of the cropped image as arguments.
The size is passed in as a string and defines the aspect ratio of the selection *as well* as the minimum
size for the final image::
from django.db import models
from image_cropping import ImageRatioField
class MyModel(models.Model):
image = models.ImageField(blank=True, upload_to='uploaded_images')
# size is "width x height"
cropping = ImageRatioField('image', '430x360')
You can configure a `size warning`_ if users try to crop a selection smaller than the defined minimum.
Admin Integration
=================
Add the ``ImageCroppingMixin`` to your ``ModelAdmin``::
from django.contrib import admin
from image_cropping import ImageCroppingMixin
class MyModelAdmin(ImageCroppingMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
pass
admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
If your setup is correct you should now see the enhanced image widget that provides a selection
area.
Backends
========
django-image-cropping delegates the cropped image generation to a backend.
A backend based on `easy-thumbnails` is provided, but it's possible to use a custom backend.
The ``IMAGE_CROPPING_BACKEND`` setting expects a dotted path to a class that implements the required methods.
You can omit this setting if you want to use the default backend.
In case you use a custom backend you can provide an optional dict that will be used to populate the backend's
constructor params.
Default settings::
IMAGE_CROPPING_BACKEND = 'image_cropping.backends.easy_thumbs.EasyThumbnailsBackend'
IMAGE_CROPPING_BACKEND_PARAMS = {}
Frontend
========
django-image-cropping provides a templatetag for displaying a cropped thumbnail.
Any other processor parameter (like ``bw=True`` or ``upscale=True``) will be forwarded to the backend::
{% cropped_thumbnail yourmodelinstance "ratiofieldname" [scale=INT|width=INT|height=INT|max_size="INTxINT"] %}
Example usage::
{% load cropping %}
<img src="{% cropped_thumbnail yourmodel "cropping" scale=0.5 %}">
Or generate the URL from Python code in your view::
from image_cropping.utils import get_backend
thumbnail_url = get_backend().get_thumbnail_url(
yourmodel.image,
{
'size': (430, 360),
'box': yourmodel.cropping,
'crop': True,
'detail': True,
}
)
easy_thumbnails
---------------
You can also use the standard ``easy-thumbnails`` templatetag with the ``box`` parameter::
{% load thumbnail %}
{% thumbnail yourmodel.image 430x360 box=yourmodel.cropping crop detail %}
Or generate the URL from Python code in your view::
from easy_thumbnails.files import get_thumbnailer
thumbnail_url = get_thumbnailer(yourmodel.image).get_thumbnail({
'size': (430, 360),
'box': yourmodel.cropping,
'crop': True,
'detail': True,
}).url
ModelForm
=========
If you want to use the cropping widget outside the admin, you'll need to define the ``ImageField`` as
an ``ImageCropField``::
from django.db import models
from image_cropping import ImageCropField, ImageRatioField
class MyModel(models.Model):
image = ImageCropField(blank=True, upload_to='uploaded_images')
# size is "width x height"
cropping = ImageRatioField('image', '430x360')
Alternatively, override the widget in your ModelForm (you just need to do one of these two, not both!)::
from django import forms
from image_cropping import ImageCropWidget
class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
widgets = {
'image': ImageCropWidget,
}
Remember to include the form media in the ``<head>`` of your HTML::
<html>
<head>
{{ form.media }}
</head>
<body>
{{ form }}
</body>
</html>
The cropping itself happens in the ``ImageRatioField``, the ``ImageCropField`` will still behave like a regular ``ImageField``.
If you're selectively including or excluding fields from the ModelForm, remember to include the ``ImageRatioField``.
Multiple formats
================
If you need the same image in multiple formats, simply specify another ``ImageRatioField``.
This will allow the image to be cropped twice::
from image_cropping import ImageRatioField, ImageCropField
image = ImageCropField(blank=True, upload_to='uploaded_images')
# size is "width x height"
list_page_cropping = ImageRatioField('image', '200x100')
detail_page_cropping = ImageRatioField('image', '430x360')
In your templates, use the corresponding ratio field::
{% load cropping %}
{% cropped_thumbnail yourmodel "list_page_cropping" %}
Foreign Keys
============
If you need to crop an image contained within another model, referenced by a ForeignKey, the ``ImageRatioField`` is
composed of the ``ForeignKey`` name, a double underscore, and the ``ImageField`` name::
from django.db import models
from image_cropping.fields import ImageRatioField
class Image(models.Model):
image_field = models.ImageField(upload_to='image/')
class NewsItem(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
image = models.ForeignKey(Image)
cropping = ImageRatioField('image__image_field', '120x100')
Cropping foreign keys only works in the admin for now, as it reuses the ``raw_id`` widget.
.. _free cropping:
Free cropping
=============
If you do not need a *fixed* ratio, you can disable this constraint by setting ``free_crop`` to ``True``.
In this case the size parameter is the desired minimum and is also used for the size-warning::
from image_cropping import ImageRatioField, ImageCropField
image = ImageCropField(blank=True, upload_to='uploaded_images')
# size is "width x height" so a minimum size of 200px x 100px would look like this:
min_free_cropping = ImageRatioField('image', '200x100', free_crop=True)
Use the ``max_size`` parameter of the templatetag if you want to limit the display size of a thumbnail::
<img src="{% cropped_thumbnail image "cropping_free" max_size="200x200" %}" />
Disabling cropping
==================
If you want cropping to be optional, use ``allow_fullsize=True`` as an additional keyword argument for your ``ImageRatioField``.
Editors can now switch off cropping by unchecking a checkbox next to the image cropping widget::
image_with_optional_cropping = ImageRatioField('image', '200x100', allow_fullsize=True)
Settings
========
Thumbnail size
--------------
You can define the maximum size of the admin preview thumbnail in your ``settings``::
# size is "width x height"
IMAGE_CROPPING_THUMB_SIZE = (300, 300)
.. _size warning:
Size warning
------------
You can warn users about crop selections that are smaller than the size defined in the ``ImageRatioField``.
When users try to do a smaller selection, a red border appears around the image.
To use this functionality for a single image add the ``size_warning`` parameter to the ``ImageRatioField``::
cropping = ImageRatioField('image', '430x360', size_warning=True)
You can enable this functionality project-wide by adding the following line to your ``settings``::
IMAGE_CROPPING_SIZE_WARNING = True
Custom jQuery
-------------
By default the image cropping widget uses the jQuery version vendored with the Django admin.
You can point to another version using the ``IMAGE_CROPPING_JQUERY_URL`` setting, though compatibility
issues may arise if your jQuery version differs from the one that is tested against.
You can also set ``IMAGE_CROPPING_JQUERY_URL`` to ``None`` to disable inclusion of jQuery by the widget.
You are now responsible for including ``jQuery`` yourself, both in the frontend and in the admin interface.
Custom backend
--------------
You can define a custom backend::
IMAGE_CROPPING_BACKEND = 'image_cropping.backends.easy_thumbs.EasyThumbnailsBackend'
You can provide an optional dict that will be used to populate the backend's
constructor::
IMAGE_CROPPING_BACKEND_PARAMS = {'version_suffix': 'thumb'}
See the built-in backends on Backends_.
Testing
=======
- Setup a virtualenv with one of the supported versions of Python
- Install the example project: ``pip install -r example/requirements.txt``
- Run ``pytest``
- In case you want to test against multiple Python versions install and run ``tox``
Troubleshooting
===============
The cropping widget is not displayed when using a ``ForeignKey``.
Make sure you do **not** add the corresponding image field to ``raw_id_fields``.

- The ``cropped_thumbnail`` tag is now based on Django's ``simple tag``.
* **Breaking Change**: Arguments for the the tag now need to be put in quotes.
* If you are still using Django 1.4 remember that `you can't easily use <http://stackoverflow.com/q/11804315/630877>`_ ``True`` or ``False`` as template tag arguments.
- Any processor parameter (like bw=True or upscale=True) can be used in the ``cropped_thumbnail`` tag.
