Image editor

Image editor

Flexim CMS includes a built-in image editor that lets you crop, rotate, and zoom an image right inside a record — no external tools required.

Opening the editor

The editor opens from any image field on a record's Editor page. Open a record, then click the edit (pencil) icon on the image you want to change. The same icon appears on both single-image fields and multiple-image fields.

Edit icon on an image field

In a multiple-image field every image has its own edit icon, so you can crop each one independently.

Main elements

Image editor elements

  1. Workspace
  2. Cropped part of the image It changes as you drag the borders or the corner points.
  3. Thumbnail of the cropped image It follows the proportions of the crop area, so it is not always a square.
  4. Image modification buttons Zoom in Zoom out — enlarge or shrink the image. Turn left Turn right — rotate the image by 45 degrees. Reset — discards all changes and restores the original.
  5. Save permanently and Cancel buttons Save permanently applies the crop and closes the editor; Cancel closes it without saving.

Cropping overwrites the file

Save permanently writes the cropped image back to the stored media file. Any record that uses the same image will show the cropped version.
