About CropGuide
What is CropGuide?
CropGuide is an embeddable image editor widget that resizes, compresses, and crops photos in the browser before they reach a server.
What CropGuide does
The script connects to existing file upload fields to crop images to fixed aspect ratios, scale down oversized files, fix mobile photo orientation, block low-resolution uploads, and convert formats like HEIC to JPEG.
Who CropGuide is for
Website operators, developers, and platform creators building on WordPress, Shopify, or custom web applications with user image uploads.
