You could look at this project for ideas on how to accomplish your crop and rotate actions - https://github.com/matthewwithanm/django-imagekit
However, if you want the user to manually crop and rotate the image on your site while looking at a Django view, then you will have to use some Javascript to do the cropping and rotation on the client side. Every change to a Django view (ie rotate a few degrees or move the crop box) involves a round trip to the server, which will be slow and a miserable experience for your users. Here one example of cropping images with django and jquery - https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2017/03/02/how-to-crop-images-in-a-django-application.html And another - http://blog.appliedinformaticsinc.com/how-to-add-image-cropping-features-using-django-image-cropping-app-jcrop/ I have not used any of these tools myself, so ymmv. Google will find many many more projects/blogs on this topic. Good luck!
