crop image online js code example

Example: crop image javascript

Here is a function to get the image as you are uploading using the choose file button

function readURL() {
    const myimg = document.getElementById("myimg");
    const input = document.getElementById("myfile");
    if(input.files && input.files[0]) {
        const reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = e => {
            console.log("changed");
            myimg.src = e.target.result;
        };
        reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
    }
}
document.querySelector('#myfile').addEventListener('change', () => {
    readURL();
});
And the HTML will be

<img src="" id="myimg"><br>
<input type="file" id="myfile">
Here is a working fiddle

If you add a file the preview image will be updated. You actually get a data url here. Use the data url to the load the image to the canvas then crop it. calling drawimg(e.target.result)

function drawimg(idata) {
    const img = new Image();
    img.onload = () => {
        ctx.drawImage(img, 33, 71, 104, 124, 21, 20, 87, 104);
    };
    img.src = idata;
}
