In this step by step tutorial I will demonstrate you with example how to add text overly watermark on Image in laravel 9. Please follow instruction given below:

- Install Laravel 9
- Connecting App to Database
- Install PHP Image Intervention Package
- Add Routes
- Create Controller
- Create Blade View
- Make Folder
- Start Development Server

Install Laravel 9

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 9 using the below command

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

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

Connecting App to Database

Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.

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

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

Install PHP Image Intervention 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

<?php
 
return [
 
    $providers => [
        ......,
        ......,
 
        'Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider'
    ],
 
    $aliases => [
        ......,
        ......,
 
        'Image' => 'Intervention\Image\Facades\Image'
    ]
 
]

<?php

return [

$providers => [

......,

'Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider'

$aliases => [

......,

'Image' => 'Intervention\Image\Facades\Image'

]

Now, run following command to migrate database schema.

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

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

<?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');

<?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');

Create Controller

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

php artisan make:controller ImageFileController

1	php artisan make:controller ImageFileController

Then visit to app/controllers/ImageFileController.php and add the following code into it:

<?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']);         
    }
}

<?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());

$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']);

}

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:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
 
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

</head>
 
<body>
    <div class="container mt-4" style="max-width: 600px">
        <h2 class="mb-5">Laravel Image Text Watermarking Example</h2>
 
        <form action="{{route('image.watermark')}}" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
            @csrf
            @if ($message = Session::get('success'))
            <div class="alert alert-success">
                <strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
            </div>
 
 
            <div class="col-md-12 mb-3 text-center">
                <strong>Manipulated image:</strong><br />
                <img src="/uploads/{{ Session::get('fileName') }}" width="600px"/>
            </div>
            @endif
 
            @if (count($errors) > 0)
            <div class="alert alert-danger">
                <ul>
                    @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
                    <li>{{ $error }}</li>
                    @endforeach
                </ul>
            </div>
            @endif
 
            <div class="mb-3">
                <input type="file" name="file" class="form-control"  id="formFile">
            </div>
 
            <div class="d-grid mt-4">

                    Upload File
                </button>
            </div>
        </form>
    </div>
</body>
 
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">

<head>

<title>Laravel Image Manipulation Tutorial</title>

</head>

<body>

<h2 class="mb-5">Laravel Image Text Watermarking Example</h2>

@csrf

@if ($message = Session::get('success'))

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

</div>

<strong>Manipulated image:</strong><br />

@endif

@if (count($errors) > 0)

<ul>
