Avvie!
A utility for quickly cropping images. Designed to be faster than the time it takes to locate the crop tool in GIMP.
Features
- Quickly crop square images for avatars
- Crop desktop wallpapers from photos
- Scale images to preset output sizes
- Support for lossless JPEG cropping (added in v2.4)
- Quick saving
- And more handy features
Usage tips
- You can import by drag and drop from your Pictures folder
- Click the thumbnail preview to toggle between square and circle. The output will still be square unless associated setting is also enabled in preferences.
- Hold Shift to move the selection rectangle slowly
- Tap Ctrl to enter free rectangle mode
- You can type a custom ratio into the entry field next to the "Custom" option e.g.
4:3, then press Enter. - You can also type a custom crop resolution into that same field, e.g.
300,500. - If exporting for your Steam profile, select the "Downscale Max 184x184" option for a better quality upload.
- [Permission workaround] Run
sudo flatpak override com.github.taiko2k.avvie --filesystem=hostto allow drag and drop from all file locations.
