Basic usage

On this page

  1. Loading the image
  2. Applying manipulations
  3. Saving the image

Load an image by calling the static load method on the Image and passing in the $pathToImage.

$image = Image::load(string $pathToImage);

Any of the image manipulations can be applied to the loaded Image by calling the manipulation's method. All image manipulation methods can be chained.

Image::load('example.jpg')
    ->sepia()
    ->blur(50)
    ->save();

Sepia + blur manipulation

Calling the save method on an Image will save the modifications to the original file. You can save your modified image by passing a $outputPath to the save method.

Image::load('example.jpg')
    ->width(50)
    ->save('modified-example.jpg');

To save the image in a different image format or with a different jpeg quality see saving images.
