Step 1 -Install Laravel App
First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command
1 |
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel LaravelIntervention |
Step 2 – Connecting App to Database

DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=here your database name here DB_USERNAME=here database username here DB_PASSWORD=here database password here |

composer require intervention/image |
After Installing Image intervention package, we need to add service provider and alias in config/app.php file as following.
config/app.php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
<?php return [ $providers => [ ......, ......, 'Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider' ], $aliases => [ ......, ......, 'Image' => 'Intervention\Image\Facades\Image' ] ] |
Now, run following command to migrate database schema.

php artisan migrate |
Step 4 – Add Routes
After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.
routes/web.php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Http\Controllers\ImageFileController; /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Web Routes |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ Route::get('/file-upload', [ImageFileController::class, 'index']); Route::post('/add-watermark', [ImageFileController::class, 'imageFileUpload'])->name('image.watermark'); |
Step 5 – Create Controller
Now, lets create a controller named ImageFileController using command given below –
1 |
php artisan make:controller ImageFileController |
Then visit to app/controllers/ImageFileController.php and add the following code into it:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Image; class ImageFileController extends Controller { public function index() { return view('my-images'); } public function imageFileUpload(Request $request) { $this->validate($request, [ 'file' => 'required|image|mimes:jpg,jpeg,png,gif,svg|max:4096', ]); $image = $request->file('file'); $input['file'] = time().'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension(); $imgFile = Image::make($image->getRealPath()); $imgFile->text('© 2017-2021 w3adda.com - All Rights Reserved', 120, 100, function($font) { $font->size(35); $font->color('#ffffff'); $font->align('center'); $font->valign('bottom'); $font->angle(90); })->save(public_path('/uploads').'/'.$input['file']); return back() ->with('success','File successfully uploaded.') ->with('fileName',$input['file']); } } |
Step 6 – Create Blade View
In this step we will create blade view file. Go to /resources/views and create one file my-images.blade.php and add the following code into it:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 |
