Laravel 8 Resize Image Before Upload Example

Intervention Image Package :- Intervention Image Package is an open source laravel composer package used to upload and resize images. Intervention Image package allows you to easily upload and resize image. Intervention Image package make image uploading and resizing much easier.

In this step by step guide we will be using Intervention Image Package to resize the image before uploading.

Step 1: Install Laravel 8

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2: Install Intervention Image Package

In this step, we will install Image intervention Package via the composer dependency manager. Use the following command to install image intervention Package.

composer require intervention/image

1	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

return [
    ......
    $provides => [
        ......
        ......,
        Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class
    ],
    $aliases => [
        .....
        .....,
        'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class
    ]
]

return [

......

$provides => [

......

......,

Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class

$aliases => [

.....

.....,

'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class

]

Step 3: Create 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

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\ImageController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
  
Route::get('resizeImage', [ImageController::class, 'resizeImage']);
Route::post('resizeImagePost', [ImageController::class, 'resizeImagePost'])->name('resizeImagePost');

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

use App\Http\Controllers\ImageController;

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Web Routes

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These

| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which

| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

Route::get('resizeImage', [ImageController::class, 'resizeImage']);

Route::post('resizeImagePost', [ImageController::class, 'resizeImagePost'])->name('resizeImagePost');

Step 4: Create Controller File

Now, lets create a controller named ImageController using command given below –

php artisan make:controller ImageController

1	php artisan make:controller ImageController

Once the above command executed, it will create a controller file ImageController.php in app/Http/Controllers/ directory. Open the ImageController.php file and put the following code in it.

app/Http/Controllers/ImageController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
   
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Image;
  
class ImageController extends Controller
{
  
    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function resizeImage()
    {
        return view('resizeImage');
    }
  
    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function resizeImagePost(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'title' => 'required',
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);
  
        $image = $request->file('image');
        $input['imagename'] = time().'.'.$image->extension();
     
        $destinationPath = public_path('/thumbnail');
        $img = Image::make($image->path());
        $img->resize(100, 100, function ($constraint) {
            $constraint->aspectRatio();
        })->save($destinationPath.'/'.$input['imagename']);
   
        $destinationPath = public_path('/images');
        $image->move($destinationPath, $input['imagename']);
   
        return back()
            ->with('success','Image Upload successful')
            ->with('imageName',$input['imagename']);
    }
   
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Requests;

use Image;

class ImageController extends Controller

{

/**

* Show the form for creating a new resource.

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

public function resizeImage()

{

return view('resizeImage');

}

/**

* Show the form for creating a new resource.

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

public function resizeImagePost(Request $request)

{

$this->validate($request, [

'title' => 'required',

'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',

]);

$image = $request->file('image');

$input['imagename'] = time().'.'.$image->extension();

$destinationPath = public_path('/thumbnail');

$img = Image::make($image->path());

$img->resize(100, 100, function ($constraint) {

$constraint->aspectRatio();

})->save($destinationPath.'/'.$input['imagename']);

$destinationPath = public_path('/images');

$image->move($destinationPath, $input['imagename']);

return back()

->with('success','Image Upload successful')

->with('imageName',$input['imagename']);

}

Step 5: View File and Create Upload directory

In this step, we will create view/blade file. Lets create a blade file “resizeImage.blade.php” in “resources/views/” directory and put the following code in it respectively.

resources/views/resizeImage.blade.php
