Would be very nice if it is provided as a library to be able to integrated into another app with partial/full customizations for UI with different theme and stack.

Nice work.
Couple of issues I had: on mobile (Brave on Android) the touch controls for cropping are very janky. Feels like it steals control each time the picture updates maybe?
It's hard to see the controls under the picture on this small screen. Could you add a control to adjust the size of the controls and shrink the picture maybe?

I’m getting some touch control issues and inability to download the image on iOS.

I've been looking for an open source image editor that I can embed in my app for managing my vintage ad archives (https://adretro.com). Basically I just need to rotate, crop, adjust color. But the images come from from the archive database rather than upload. And I want to work with them quickly, rather than save/open like a desktop app. Last time I looked I couldn't find something with good documentation that was easy to get started with. Right now I bulk edit in Google Photos.

It would be nice if I can feed an image blob to it, and return the edited image as a blob programmatically - i.e. without the need for an UI to open or download the image. That will help integration/embed it into other apps.

Hey, awesome work! This is sorely needed in the OSS package space.
Are you taking into account separation of concerns? I could see myself adopting this if the UI were customizable in Vue, React, etc.

I like this. It reminds me of Snapseed. Feature request if it isn’t too hard, the ability to overlay an image and blend them together.

Really nice work. I had been using Photopea for cropping and quick edits when preparing references for painting but this is super clean and simple.

Extremely nice work.
I'd like it if there were separate buttons for (a) reset a section (e.g. colors) back to the default and (b) do not use a section (e.g. colors). Right now, turning (e.g.) colors off loses the settings there. Maybe I missed something though.

I too agree this is great, and see space for another low-hanging UI tweak:
Allow editing numbers to right directly, instead of only using the slider. I really dislike using sliders beyond a first general impression because it is too slow to get things exactly as I want them. I would guess this is a relatively common sentiment.
One feature I don't see but would love to see is text overlay, but that is perhaps moving away from the spirit of the project.

I don't do web based development (all native desktop), but I'd be quite surprised if this was "low hanging".
We have widgets that do this in Ardour and they were far from simple to implement.
sgc 2 hours ago [-]
I have done similar. It is pretty easy, you just have the slider update the input, that is used for the actual calculations. If I ever get past looking and actually download, I will do it.

Is there any interference from "anti-fingerprinting" which corrupts the image canvas?

Excellent work. The UI looks very clean and functional. It's feature packed. Good choice on using WebGL. It has support everywhere in most if not all browsers.

This does useful things easily.
How hard would it be to use it as a batch process?

Did you consider using WebGPU, or creating a bridge between WebGPU / WebGL for this? Also, have you considered deploying on Cloudflare Pages [1] (unlimited bandwidth) instead of netlify?
Will have a look at this thanks! in the meantime I've added a quick sample gallery to test the editor out

I'm so glad this exsist. I've been meaning to get something similar started, but did not due to one reason or the other. I'll definitely try to contribute.

in the editor, do add a way to load sample random image to try out the editor instead of having to uploading my own (which most won't bother / don't trust / can't do at work).
axelMI 10 hours ago [-]
Great advise. Will add it next.
Bust just to be clear, images are handled 100% locally on the user machine. No data is sent to servers, no adv, no cookies, nothing ...

Lol, I added a todo yesterday: "find or build good image cropper, ideally gl based" ;)
Guess the search might be over, thanks!

let me know of any usability issue. I tried different combinations and this seemed intuitive for me (compared to other solution), but of course I'm too biased.
atonse 11 hours ago [-]
Very cool! What's the license, and how does it compare to some of the other croppers/editors out there? Was it mainly the GL integration?
axelMI 11 hours ago [-]
Ops forgot to add MIT license
As for the underlying modules on which it relies
Will fix it shortly

What does comparable refer to here? Web based image editors? Like what?
axelMI 8 hours ago [-]
there are several web based image editors leveraging webgl out there.
I hope to match some of them in terms of features, but with a lightweight and opensource solution

Nice! Good performance, clean UI, and core functionality.
axelMI 8 hours ago [-]
thanks. It started as a proof of concept for a custom reactivity engine (based on signals and tagged template literals). But while at it I realised I needed something quick and easy for my needs.
I already have a prototype for a self-hosted photogallery that integrates this editor (something like https://immich.app to give you an idea). But it's still too early to share

I tried to figure out how to crop an image and found nothing. There doesn't seem to be a crop feature as far as I could tell. I'm sure it's probably there, but not easy for anyone to figure out. Would be super easy to make it intuitive right?
axelMI 10 hours ago [-]
it's the composition menu ... will rename it
just select the area you wish to crop and then move to the other settings (colors, ...) to edit it
atonse 9 hours ago [-]
I did this but when I hit download, I got back the original image instead of the cropped image.
quantadev 9 hours ago [-]
I tried it again, and finally noticed you have to click the corner of the image to move the selection area. It works, but then I didn't see a "Crop" button. Only trying to be helpful, and not complaining. Nice work tho on this component.
axelMI 8 hours ago [-]
No no I absolutely need this kind of feedback thanks! Being a solo developer is very difficult to gage usability and UX is definitely not my strength.
I tried to integrate the crop/ composition in the natural workflow of image processing, without a discreet "crop" button. But I guess it's not necessarily the most intuite thing to do :)

I'm the new member of your QA team now! haha. I'll try to crop again when you're ready. :)
