Laravel 7/6 Intervention Upload Image Using Ajax

In this Laravel Intervention Image Upload Using Ajax example, we will learn how to upload and resize image using jquery ajax. In this tutorial I have used Intervention Image Package to upload and resize the image using jquery ajax and then save image into the database. This laravel image upload example is works with laravel version7, 6, 5.8 & 5.7 .

In this laravel image upload example, I’ll show you how to upload image into folder and then save it into database. In this tutorial before saving image into database we will resize the image and create it’s thumbnail image and then save it into thumbnail directory using the image intervention package.

Before uploading the image we will validate it using server side validation. In this example we will be uploading the image using jquery ajax without page refresh and reload. After successfully image upload into the database and folder we will display original image along with its thumbnail image (resize image).
