Hi all. So I’m wondering if there is a way in Glide (free at the moment) where when an image is uploaded, if it is not square, it will prompt the user to crop it to square (ie., a forced square frame will appear and they can zoom in/out and move it to get the best aspect of the photo but in a square format). I hope my explanation makes sense.
Or is this only perhaps available in the paid version? Or perhaps it isn’t available at all??
When you display an image in the layout editor, in the right panel you can configure the component. For images, you can set images to display in different aspects ratios, including 1:1 which means “one unit by one unit” which means square.
So you can display rectangular images as a square, and Glide achieves this by cropping the parts of the image that are sticking out of the square. The cropping only happens for display purposes, the original image isn’t actually changed.
As for creating a feature for your users that truly crops the original image, it’s probably achievable but Glide isn’t an image editing tool.
