## What it is
A React component for cropping, resizing, and rotating uploaded avatar/profile pictures via an intuitive canvas-based UI. It supports rounded or square crop areas, a useAvatarEditor hook, and exports cropped images as canvas elements.

## Use cases
- crop profile pictures in a react app
- let users resize and rotate uploaded avatars
- build an avatar upload flow with circular crop
- export cropped image as canvas or data url for upload
- add image cropping ui to user settings page

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, zero-dependency avatar cropper for React 17-19
- you want a typed component with a hook-based API
- you need rounded or square crop areas with rotate and scale support

## When to avoid
- you need full-featured image editing beyond crop/resize/rotate
- your project does not use React
- you need server-side image processing

- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, image-processing
- domain: frontend, web-development, image-processing
