$('#upload').on('change', function () { 
	var reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onload = function (e) {
    	$uploadCrop.croppie('bind', {
    		url: e.target.result
    	}).then(function(){
    		console.log('jQuery bind complete');
    	});
    	
    }
    reader.readAsDataURL(this.files[0]);
});


$('.upload-result').on('click', function (ev) {
	$uploadCrop.croppie('result', {
		type: 'canvas',
		size: 'viewport'
	}).then(function (resp) {
		$.ajax({
			url: "/crop_image/store_img_ajax.php",
			type: "POST",
			data: {"image":resp},
			success: function (data) {
				html = '<img style="margin: 20px;" src="' + resp + '" />';
				$("#uploaded-input").html(html);
			}
		});
	});
});
</script>

Now, We need to create a store_img_ajax.php file to store crop images in this folder crop_image/store_img_ajax.php

<?php 
$data = $_POST['image'];
list($type, $data) = explode(';', $data);
list(, $data)      = explode(',', $data);
$data = base64_decode($data);
$imageName = time().'.png';
file_put_contents('upload/'.$imageName, $data);
?>

And you will get output like the below screenshot.
