How to reduce the image size by reducing the quality when uploading images in Laravel?-CodePudding

I'm developing a Larvel website for ads, now users can upload very large images, I would like to resize, compress, reduce the quality of these images before storing them in the DB.

I have

$img = request->file("images");

Where do I go from here?

It seems strange to me how Php actually works. I was expecting some kind of byte[] array-like in Java that represents the image then do some calculation over it and we are done.

I checked a couple of posts like this and this one here

However, all code snippets deal with local disk images is there a way I can use:

$img = request->file("images");

Or I don't understand how files work in PHP?

CodePudding user response：

You can use spatie package or any other package for image manipulation:

spatie image with this package you can simply make:

Image::load($request->file("images")) // or its path
   ->width(100)
   ->height(100)
   ->save($pathToNewImage);

It also support for reducing image sizes by decreasing quality.
