EE5: Is there really no add-on that adds (proper) image crop functionality?

Searched devot:ee, EE add-ons directory and GitHub and can’t believe there really is no (simple) EE5 compatible add-on that allows simple image cropping using pre-defined sizes?

Channel Images of course somehow does the job, but you cannot specify a fixed crop size or aspect ration as default values for the image edit when the user wants to alter the standard crop from center for example.

Am I missing something. Sounds like a pretty common requirement to allow users to crop their image uploads to specified aspect ratios or sizes? Overall it seems that Channel Images is currently the only media/image add-on that supports EE5?

Just to be sure, our use case would be: Specify an image size or ratio on file/image field level, users uploads image, image gets cropped to specified size/ratio, user isn’t happy with the cropped area and wants to edit the image, editor pops up, shows (fixed to defined size/ratio) rect marquee selection tool, user selects new crop area, done.

Thanks, looks good (and even comes with a trial). Specifying a crop ratio seems to work fine, but using a fixed (min/max) px size instead seems to have hiccups. I’ll try their support to see how good that is 😊

Great, thanks. I’ll follow up here afterwards just in case someone else is having the same requirements/issues.

I use Ansel for image fields almost exclusively, it’s great.
