What is Avatar Cropper?

Q2A Avatar Cropper is a powerful plugin for Question2Answer (Q2A) that allows users to crop and upload square avatars (1:1)

It also includes a batch tool for admins to crop all existing avatars automatically to a centered square format, ensuring visual consistency across your community.

Key Features

• Live Avatar Cropping
  Users can upload and crop avatars in real time, with a draggable square preview before submission.
• Modern, Responsive UI
  Styled to match your Q2A theme, includes a background opacity slider, smooth modal, and real-time feedback.
• Batch Cropping Tool (Admin Panel)
  Instantly crop all existing avatars from the database. Ideal for legacy uploads or switching from rectangular avatars.
• GDPR-Friendly
  Option to load local JS/CSS resources instead of CDN, compliant with data protection regulations.
• No Core Hacks Required
  Integrates cleanly via plugin layer, no need to modify core files or themes.

Requirements

• Q2A version: 1.8+ (older versions untested)
• PHP GD extension: Required for image processing
• Avatars stored as blobs in the database for the Batch Crop to work in existing avatars (not in disk via QA_BLOBS_DIRECTORY)
  You can still upload and crop new avatars manually regardless of the storage method.
