## What is the feature?

Ability to fixed the aspect ratio(1:1, 4:3, 16:19…) cropped by the image uploader widget.

## What problem does this solve for you?

I’m building a smart action for updating users’ avatar photos. Our own application will always upload a square(1:1) photo and I’d like Forest Admin to do the same thing.

For now, we have to edit the photo elsewhere before uploading it with smart action.

## Who else would be using this feature?

Users who want to manage the image hosted on their own service.
