Step 3: Create Routes

In this step we will add routes and controller file so first add bellow route in your routes.php file.

routes/web.php
<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\ImageController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| 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::controller(ImageController::class)->group(function(){
    Route::get('image-upload', 'index');
    Route::post('image-upload', 'store')->name('image.store');
});
Step 4: Create Controller File

Now require to create new ImageController for image upload and resize it, so first run bellow command :

php artisan make:controller ImageController

After this command you can find ImageController.php file in your app/Http/Controllers directory. open ImageController.php file and put bellow code in that file.

Make sure, you have created "images" and "thumbnail" folder in public folder.

app/Http/Controllers/ImageController.php
<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Image;
  
class ImageController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('imageUpload');
    }
      
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);
   
        $image = $request->file('image');
        $imageName = time().'.'.$image->extension();
       
        $destinationPathThumbnail = public_path('/thumbnail');
        $img = Image::make($image->path());
        $img->resize(100, 100, function ($constraint) {
            $constraint->aspectRatio();
        })->save($destinationPathThumbnail.'/'.$imageName);
     
        $destinationPath = public_path('/images');
        $image->move($destinationPath, $imageName);
     
        return back()
            ->with('success','Image Upload successful')
            ->with('imageName',$imageName);
    }
}
Step 5: View File and Create Upload directory

Ok, in this last step we will create imageUpload.blade.php file for photo upload form and manage error message and also success message. So first create imageUpload.blade.php file and put bellow code:

resources/views/imageUpload.blade.php
