Asking to recommend a product (plugin, theme, book, hosting provider), tool, library, or off-site resource is out of scope for this site, as it attracts opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.

I'm looking for a plugin that allows the user to define where the image will be cropped for a given thumbnail size.

For example, the user uploads an image, a screen comes up with the image and a selection box, and asks her to move/resize the image within the selection for size 'medium'.

I've found two plugins that allow the user to do this after the thumbnail has been uploaded: Post Thumbnail Editor and Crop-Thumnails.

Either of these might work, but does anyone know of a built-in solution or a plugin that will ask for this on upload?

There seems to be a built-in solution in the customizer when for example when choosing the logo or header image in twentyseventeen - it opens the upload dialogue and says "Upload and crop" on the button, leading to moving preset crop area in the next step. Any way how to use this in featured images?

Thanks!

• For built in images sizes or for custom ones? – Krzysiek Dróżdż Commented Jul 18, 2013 at 18:48
• Both. The defaults and any added with add_image_size(). I guessed I assumed that a plugin would do both with the way the hooks are set up. – Will M Commented Jul 18, 2013 at 18:52
• There is built in cropping for default sizes. AFAIK it's hard to implement it for additional sizes - there were no hooks to do it (but I've checked it few versions back...) – Krzysiek Dróżdż Commented Jul 18, 2013 at 19:46
• I'm aware that there is default cropping. But sometimes it doesn't crop in the place that the user would like. That's why I'm looking for a solution so that the user can configure what area it crops on an image/thumbnail basis. – Will M Commented Jul 18, 2013 at 21:09

I've used Post Thumbnail Editor on many sites, its really very good.

Just remember when it opens, that it opened in a new tab, once you're done cropping, close the tab to get back to where yo were
