This tutorial will work with Laravel versions 5, 6, 7, and 8. When syntax is different across versions, the different syntax will be demonstrated. Let's start following example: Step 1: Download Laravel

Let us begin the tutorial by installing a new laravel application. if you have already created the project, then skip following step.

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2 : Add Controller In this step, we will create a new ImageUploadController; in this file, we will add two method index() and store() for render view and store image logic. Let's create ImageUploadController by following command:

php artisan make:controller ImageUploadController

app/Http/Controllers/ImageUploadController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  
class ImageUploadController 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)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);
      
        $imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();  
       
        $request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);
    
        /* 
            Write Code Here for
            Store $imageName name in DATABASE from HERE 
        */
      
        return back()
            ->with('success','You have successfully upload image.')
            ->with('image',$imageName); 
    }
}

Store Image in Storage Folder

$request->image->storeAs('images', $imageName);

// storage/app/images/file.png

Store Image in Public Folder

$request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);

// public/images/file.png

Store Image in S3

$request->image->storeAs('images', $imageName, 's3');

Step 3 : Add Routes routes/web.php

name('image.store');

Step 4: Add Blade File resources/views/imageUpload.blade.php
