Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • Crop interface — customers position and size their photo before saving
  • Webcam capture — take a photo directly in the browser, no file needed
  • EXIF orientation handling — phone photos stay upright after cropping
  • File type validation — you choose which of JPG, PNG, GIF and WEBP are allowed
  • Max file size control — set the upload ceiling from settings
  • Media Library picker — optionally let customers choose an image they already uploaded, off by default
  • Auto-generated image sizes — 32, 64 and 96 pixel variants created on upload, so a small avatar downloads a small file
