Crop and resize server side

[obedm503]

Initial checklist

• I understand this is a feature request and questions should be posted in the Community Forum
• I searched issues and couldn’t find anything (or linked relevant results below)

Problem

I want to let the server handle cropping and resizing according to the dimensions picked by the client.

Solution

The current image editor plugin crops and resizes on the client before upload. I want to be able to:

• let the user pick an image
• open the image editor
• crop and resize as needed
• generate thumbnail client-side based on the crop and resize dimensions
• send the original image + coordinates and height and width of the selected area (cropbox) via the XHR upload plugin. cropper.js can generate this information through its getData method

Alternatives

Using cropper.js directly

Hi, this is a XY problem, why do you want to resize on the server? If you want to save bandwidth maybe you can look into @uppy/compressor.
