## What it is
Scissors is a fixed-viewport image cropping library for Android, written in Java by Lyft. It provides a CropView widget with extensions for loading bitmaps via Picasso, Glide, or Universal Image Loader and saving cropped results to files.

## Use cases
- crop profile pictures in an android app
- let users crop images to a fixed aspect ratio
- load and crop gallery images with glide
- save a cropped bitmap to a file
- add an image cropping ui to android

## When to choose
- you need a simple fixed-viewport crop view on android
- you already use picasso, glide, or universal image loader for image loading

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the repo is archived
- you need advanced editing features like rotate, filters, or freeform cropping
- you are not building an android app
