Painterro is JavaScript paint widget which allows editing images directly in a browser. It can be easily integrated into your website or blog by including only one js file and calling initialization code.

With Painterro you can:

Paste image from clipboard with Ctrl+V (e.g. PtnScr screenshot), drag and drop it into widget, or load with open dialog
Crop image by defined area
Paint primitives (alpha color can be used)
Add text
Rotate / resize (scale) image
Pixelize some area to hide sensitive data

Painterro preview

Originally Painterro was designed for quick screenshots processing: You make screenshot by pressing PrtSc button, then open Painterro on your website, paste an image with Ctrl+V, crop it to interested area, highlight something with line/rectangle tool and/or add some text to the image and save on server with custom save handler (e.g. simple XHR request to your backend). In addition, you can use it for processing any kind of raster images. Please try a demo. Also painterro has Wordpress Plugin.

If you want to see some feature in Painterro, please leave (or vote for) an issue here. There is no promise that it will be implemented soon or ever, but it is interesting to know what features users want to have.

Painterro is written with vanilla JS to stay lightweight and minimalistic. Code written on ES6 which transplited by Babel and packed to a single file using webpack.

Installation

With npm

If you have npm-based project you can run:

npm install painterro --save

Then in your code

import Painterro from 'painterro'
...
Painterro().show()

By including script

You can download latest painterro-*.min.js here https://github.com/ivictbor/painterro/releases/ or build it by yourself.

Then insert <script> e.g:

<script src="/xxx/painterro-x.x.x.min.js"></script>

Then in your code:

<script>
  Painterro().show()
</script>

See fiddle example

Read after installation

To be able to save edited images on server or client see Saving image. For configurations see Configuration

Supported hotkeys

||| |-|-| | Ctrl + Z | Cancel last operation | | Ctrl + V | Paste image from clipboard | | Ctrl + C | Copy selected aria to clipboard (*internal keyboard) | | Shift when drawing rect/ellipse | Draw square/circle | | Shift when drawing line | draw at angles of 0, 45, 90, 135 etc degrees | | Alt when using pipette | Hide zoom helper (colored grid) | | Ctrl + Wheel mouse up/down | Zoom image | | Ctrl + S | Save image |

Configuration

You can pass parameters map to Painterro constructor:

Painterro({
  activeColor: '#00ff00', // default brush color is green
  // ... other params here
})

UI color scheme

Next group of params used to configure painterro user interface. They should be placed under colorScheme group, for example:

Painterro({
  colorScheme: {
    main: '#fdf6b8', // make panels light-yellow
    control: '#FECF67' // change controls color
  }
}).show()

API

.show(openImage) - Shows painterro instance. openImage can have next values:

false - will open image that already was drawn before last close
some string value, e.g. 'http://placehold.it/120x120&text=image1' - will try to load image from url
all another values - will clear content before open

.hide() - hide instance

.save() - call save (same save as on buttons bar). Can be used if save button is hidden (hiddenTools: ['save'])

Example:

var p = Painterro()
p.show()

Translation

Want to translate Painterro into your language? If you need English, Spanish or Catalan language, you should pass language parameter, for example:

Painterro({
  language: 'es'
}).show()

language can have next values:

en - for using English language
es - for using Spanish language
ca - for using Catalan language

If you want to add another language, then fork. Create file in folder langs for your translation and copy [langs/en.lang.js] in it. Then translate all 'Strings' and add reference in [js/translation.js]. After that create pull-request, or just open issue if you don't know how to create a PR.

If you want to translate or change strings without contributing you can do this by passing translation parameter, for example:

Painterro({
  translation: {
    name: 'ua',
    strings: {
      apply: 'Застосувати'    
      // other strings
    }
  }
}).show()

For all strings that can be translated, see [langs/en.lang.js]

Saving image

You should provide your save handler, which will post/update image on server or will pass image to another frontend components.

Binary saving

You can post data with binary multipart/form-data request which is the most efficient way to pass data to backend. Example uses raw XMLHttpRequest. Of course, you can use fetch, jQuery, etc insead.

var ptro = Painterro({
  saveHandler: function (image, done) {
    var formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('image', image.asBlob());
    // you can also pass suggested filename 
    // formData.append('image', image.asBlob(), image.suggestedFileName());
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open('POST', 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/save-as-binary/', true);
    xhr.onload = xhr.onerror = function () {
      done(true);
    };
    xhr.send(formData);
  }
})
ptro.show();

Here is python flask backend example (of course same can be implemented using any technology):

@app.route("/save-as-binary/", methods=['POST'])
def binary_saver():
    filename = '{:10d}.png'.format(int(time()))  # generate some filename
    filepath = os.path.join(get_tmp_dir(), filename)
    request.files['image'].save(filepath)
    return jsonify({})

See full example in example directory. You can run it used python3 with installed Flask (pip install flask).

Base64 saving

You can also same image by posting base64 string via plain POST json call. Please note that base64 encoding is less efficient then binary data, for example some 1920 x 1080 image took 402398 bytes for base64 upload. The same image took 301949 bytes with multipart/form-data.

var ptro = Painterro({
    saveHandler: function (image, done) {
      // of course, instead of raw XHR you can use fetch, jQuery, etc
      var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
      xhr.open("POST", "http://127.0.0.1:5000/save-as-base64/");
      xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
      xhr.send(JSON.stringify({
        image: image.asDataURL()
      }));
      xhr.onload = function (e) {
        // after saving is done, call done callback
        done(true); //done(true) will hide painterro, done(false) will leave opened
      }
    },
    activeColor: '#00b400'  // change active color to green
});
ptro.show();

Backend should convert base64 to binary and save file:

@app.route("/save-as-base64/", methods=['POST'])
def base64_saver():
    filename = '{:10d}.png'.format(int(time()))  # generate some filename
    filepath = os.path.join(get_tmp_dir(), filename)
    with open(filepath, "wb") as fh:
        base64_data = request.json['image'].replace('data:image/png;base64,', '')
        fh.write(base64.b64decode(base64_data))
    return jsonify({})

Saving to WYSIWYG

You can just insert image as data url to any WYSIWYG editor, e.g. TinyMCE:

    tinymce.init({ selector:'textarea', });
    var ptro = Painterro({
      saveHandler: function (image, done) {
        tinymce.activeEditor.execCommand('mceInsertContent', false, '<img src="' + image.asDataURL() + '" />');
        done(true)
      }
    })

Format and quality

When you call image.asDataURL() or image.asBlob(), you can also specify image mime type (format), e.g. image.asDataURL('image/jpeg'). Default type is 'image/png'. If type is image/jpeg or image/webp, you can also define image quality from 0.0 to 1.0, default is 0.92, example: image.asDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.5)

Development

After pulling repo install node modules:

cd painterro
npm install

Building painterro

npm run build

Result file for <script> import is build/painterro.min.js.

Actually, above command produces 4 versions of library:

build/painterro-x.y.z.min.js, build/painterro.min.js the same files but with different filenames (with and without versiontag) - this is var version which will be loaded as global variable (var painterro = <Library class>) when you will import it as <script src='painterro.min.js' /> tag. So this is for script tag only.
build/painterro.commonjs2.js - this version sutable for js require/import. That's why it is used as entry point in package.json file - if you are using webpack or other tool that can handle require/import of commonjs2 libraries then you can do npm install painterro, and do import painterro and it will use commonjs2 version.
build/painterro.amd.js and build/painterro.umd.js - these both are same as above but for AMD and UMD importers respectivly.

Dev-server

To start hot-reload dev server (for reloading code "on the fly"):

npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:8080 with demo page

Regenerating icons font

Add/edit icons in res folder. Then run

npm run buildfont
