OriginalAndroid Image Cropper
- Powerful (Zoom, Rotation, Multi-Source)
- Customizable (Shape, Limits, Style)
- Optimized (Async, Sampling, Matrix)
- Simple image cropping library for Android

Add to your project
dependencies {
implementation("com.vanniktech:android-image-cropper:4.7.0")
}
Using the Library
There are 3 ways of using the library. Check out the sample app for all details.
1. Calling crop directly
Note: This way is deprecated and will be removed in future versions. The path forward is to write your own Activity, handle all the Uri stuff yourself and use CropImageView.
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private val cropImage = registerForActivityResult(CropImageContract()) { result ->
if (result.isSuccessful) {
// Use the cropped image URI.
val croppedImageUri = result.uriContent
val croppedImageFilePath = result.getUriFilePath(this) // optional usage
// Process the cropped image URI as needed.
} else {
// An error occurred.
val exception = result.error
// Handle the error.
}
}
private fun startCrop() {
// Start cropping activity with guidelines.
cropImage.launch(
CropImageContractOptions(
cropImageOptions = CropImageOptions(
guidelines = Guidelines.ON
)
)
)
// Start cropping activity with gallery picker only.
cropImage.launch(
CropImageContractOptions(
pickImageContractOptions = PickImageContractOptions(
includeGallery = true,
includeCamera = false
)
)
)
// Start cropping activity for a pre-acquired image with custom settings.
cropImage.launch(
CropImageContractOptions(
uri = imageUri,
cropImageOptions = CropImageOptions(
guidelines = Guidelines.ON,
outputCompressFormat = Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG
)
)
)
}
// Call the startCrop function when needed.
}
2. Using CropView
Note: This is the only way forward, add CropImageView into your own activity and do whatever you wish. Checkout the sample for more details.
<!-- Image Cropper fill the remaining available height -->
<com.canhub.cropper.CropImageView
android:id="@+id/cropImageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
- Set image to crop
cropImageView.setImageUriAsync(uri)
// Or prefer using uri for performance and better user experience.
cropImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
- Get cropped image
// Subscribe to async event using cropImageView.setOnCropImageCompleteListener(listener)
cropImageView.getCroppedImageAsync()
// Or.
val cropped: Bitmap = cropImageView.getCroppedImage()
3. Extend to make a custom activity
Note: This way is also deprecated and will be removed in future versions. The path forward is to write your own Activity, handle all the Uri stuff yourself and use CropImageView.
If you want to extend the CropImageActivity please be aware you will need to set up your CropImageView
- Add
CropImageActivityinto your AndroidManifest.xml
<!-- Theme is optional and only needed if default theme has no action bar. -->
<activity
android:name="com.canhub.cropper.CropImageActivity"
android:theme="@style/Base.Theme.AppCompat"
/>
- Set up your
CropImageViewafter callsuper.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setCropImageView(binding.cropImageView)
}
Custom dialog for image source pick
When calling crop directly the library will prompt a dialog for the user choose between gallery or camera (If you keep both enable).
We use the Android default AlertDialog for this. If you wanna customised it with your app theme you need to override the method showImageSourceDialog(..) when extending the activity (above)
override fun showImageSourceDialog(openSource: (Source) -> Unit) {
super.showImageSourceDialog(openCamera)
}

Migrating from Android Image Cropper
Start by using Version 4.3.3:
dependencies {
implementation("com.vanniktech:android-image-cropper:4.3.3")
}
Update all imports
-import com.theartofdev.edmodo.cropper.CropImage
-import com.theartofdev.edmodo.cropper.CropImageActivity
+import com.canhub.cropper.CropImage
+import com.canhub.cropper.CropImageActivity
Update all XML references
-<com.theartofdev.edmodo.cropper.CropImageView
+<com.canhub.cropper.CropImageView
When using Activity Contracts, consult with the sample app on how to use our Activity Contracts since onActivityResult got deprecated.
Versions after 4.3.3 have changed the APIs quite a bit, it's best to upgrade to each minor version individually, remove deprecated API usages and continue upgrading. So after using 4.3.3, upgrade to 4.4.0, upgrade to 4.5.0, 4.6.0, etc.
