I have one question that you need to ask yourself. If a screen reader user is going to perform this action. Can they see the image to ensure they crop the correct amount? As being a screen reader user, I do not think this is possible. Yes, you can do what has been suggested. But is this going to be practical or provide the ability of independent modification of graphics for a person who cannot see the image in the first place.

Hello all,
I am looking for any examples and/or documentation on how to make image cropping accessible using keyboard and assistive technology. I know it may be challenging to crop using screen reader bur if there are any resources to make that happen, that would be great too.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
