Image Crop for CKEditor

Requirements

  • CKEditor 4. At the moment, the plugin is only supported for CKEditor 4.x; if you need a version for CKEditor 3, please, contact us so we can evaluate the feasibility of the adjustments
  • Image uploads already configured in CKEditor. Here is a tutorial to enable image uploads in CKEditor.
  • SimpleUploads plugin. Currently the plugin is built upon the features of the SimpleUploads plugin, so if you don't have it installed, please get it before purchasing this plugin.
    According to the CKEditor developers, some of those features will be available in a future version of CKEditor. When such version is released we will check the possibility to skip the SimpleUploads plugin.
  • Browser's: It requires to use browser's updated versions (IE10 and earlier are not supported) so you can drag & drop an image into the editor. The IE11 does not support the automatic rotation of the images made with the iPhone.
