Project Description
In this project, we'll develop a web application that allows users to edit photos. We'll build the application in Flask and use JavaScript and Python libraries to make it interactive. We will provide the following features in this application:
Image upload
Image crop
Image resize
Image rotate
Text addition
Image download
We'll use HTML5 Canvas to upload and display the image. Next, we'll work on the image cropping feature using Cropper.js. We’ll show how to use Flask’s server-side processing to implement the image resize and rotation features using the powerful Pillow library. Furthermore, we’ll demonstrate how to add text to the image. We’ll capture mouse events to enable the dragging of the added text across the image. Finally, we'll provide the download option to the user.
