Then, run flutter pub get.

iOS Integration:

Add the following keys to your Info.plist file, located in <project root>/ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs camera access to take photos for cropping.</string>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>

Android Integration:

No specific configuration is required for Android if you are targeting minSdkVersion 24 or higher. The plugin uses the uCrop library, which is automatically included.

Usage Example

Here is a complete example of how to pick an image from the gallery or camera and then crop it.

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart';
import 'package:flutter_image_cropper/flutter_image_cropper.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  String? _imagePath;
  String? _croppedImagePath;
  final ImagePicker _picker = ImagePicker();

  // Pick an image from the gallery
  Future<void> _pickImageFromGallery() async {
    final XFile? pickedFile = await _picker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.gallery);
    if (pickedFile != null) {
      setState(() {
        _imagePath = pickedFile.path;
        _croppedImagePath = null; // Clear previous crop
      });
    }
  }

  // Capture an image from the camera
  Future<void> _pickImageFromCamera() async {
    final XFile? pickedFile = await _picker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.camera);
    if (pickedFile != null) {
      setState(() {
        _imagePath = pickedFile.path;
        _croppedImagePath = null; // Clear previous crop
      });
    }
  }

  // Crop the selected image
  Future<void> _cropImage() async {
    if (_imagePath == null) return;

    final String? croppedPath = await FlutterImageCropper.cropImage(
      sourcePath: _imagePath!,
      aspectRatioX: 1.0, // e.g., 16
      aspectRatioY: 1.0, // e.g., 9
      quality: 90,
    );

    if (croppedPath != null) {
      setState(() {
        _croppedImagePath = croppedPath;
      });
    } else {
      // User cancelled the crop
      print("Cropping cancelled.");
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Image Cropper Example')),
        body: SingleChildScrollView(
          child: Center(
            child: Column(

              children: <Widget>[
                if (_imagePath != null) ...[
                  SizedBox(height: 20),
                  Text("Original Image", style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headlineSmall),
                  Image.file(File(_imagePath!)),
                ],
                if (_croppedImagePath != null) ...[
                  SizedBox(height: 20),
                  Text("Cropped Image", style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headlineSmall),
                  Image.file(File(_croppedImagePath!)),
                ],
                SizedBox(height: 20),
                ElevatedButton(
                  onPressed: _pickImageFromGallery,
                  child: const Text('Pick from Gallery'),
                ),
                ElevatedButton(
                  onPressed: _pickImageFromCamera,
                  child: const Text('Capture with Camera'),
                ),
                ElevatedButton(
                  onPressed: _imagePath != null ? _cropImage : null,
                  child: const Text('Crop Image'),
                ),
              ],
            ),
