## What it is
react-cropper is a React component wrapper around Cropper.js for interactive image cropping. It exposes Cropper.js options as props and provides access to the underlying cropper instance via refs.

## Use cases
- crop profile pictures in a react app
- let users crop images before upload
- add an image cropper with aspect ratio control to a react form
- rotate and zoom images interactively in the browser
- extract cropped canvas data as a data URL
- build an avatar upload widget with cropping

## When to choose
- you use React and need an interactive client-side image cropper
- you want Cropper.js features (aspect ratio, rotation, zoom, drag) with a declarative React API
- you need typed components since it ships its own TypeScript types

## When to avoid
- you are not using React (use Cropper.js directly)
- you need server-side image cropping or processing
- you need a framework-agnostic vanilla JS solution
- you need actively developed features, as releases have slowed since 2023
