## Description

Definition: NextGEN ZCropper is a plugin that resizes and crops(!) your pictures
while uploading. It will always match your selected width and height, trying to 
display as much as possible of the original image.
 Why: I found several people 
like me requesting an instant crop functionality for NextGEN Gallery Images (not
only the thumbnails). Here it is 😉 Any feature requests: Go to http://vogelundstrauss.
de/blog Required: This plugin requires [Alex Rabe’s](http://alexrabe.de/) – [NextGEN Gallery Plugin](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/)
