Hi Guys,

Today,I will learn you how to use image with grayscale in laravel 8. We will show example of image with grayscale in laravel 8. Spatie package is Image manipulation doesn't have to be hard. This PHP package makes it super easy to apply common manipulations to images like resizing, cropping and adding effects.

Here, I will give you full example for simply image with grayscale using Laravel 8 as bellow.

Step 1 : Install Laravel 8 Application

we are going from scratch, So we require to get fresh Laravel application using bellow command, So open your terminal OR command prompt and run bellow command:

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

Step 2 : Install Spatie Package

In this step, i will install spatie package for bellow command.

composer require spatie/image

Step 3: Create Routes

In next step, we will add new two routes in web.php file. One route for generate image upload form and another for post method So let's simply create both route as bellow listed:

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\ImageWithgrayscaleController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| 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::get('/image-grayscale', [ImageWithgrayscaleController::class, 'index'])->name('image.grayscale.index');
Route::post('/image-grayscale/store', [ImageWithgrayscaleController::class, 'store'])->name('image.grayscale.store');

Step 4: Create Controller

here this step now we should create new controller as ImageWithgrayscaleController,So run bellow command for generate new controller

php artisan make:controller ImageWithgrayscaleController

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Image;

class ImageWithgrayscaleController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
      return view('imageWithgrayscale');
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
      $input = $request->all();

      $this->validate($request, [
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);

        $image = $input['image'];
        
        $input['image'] = time().'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();

        $img = Image::make($image->getRealPath());

        $img->grayscale()->save(public_path('/images').'/'.$input['image']);

        return redirect()->back()->with('success','Image Uploaded Successfully')->with('image',$input['image']);
    }
}

Step 5: Create Blade File

At last step we need to create imageWithgrayscale.blade.php file. So copy bellow and put on that file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Grayscale Image Uploading Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
  <div class="row mt-5">
    <div class="col-md-6 offset-md-3 mb-3">
      <h2>Grayscale Image Uploading Demo </h2>

      @if (count($errors) > 0)
        <div class="alert alert-danger">
          <ul>
            @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
              <li>{{ $error }}</li>
            @endforeach
          </ul>
        </div>
      @endif

      @if ($message = Session::get('success'))
        <div class="alert alert-success alert-block">
          <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>  
            <strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
          <div class="col-md-12">
            <strong>Grayscale Image:</strong><br/>
            <img src="/images/{{ Session::get('image') }}" width="500px" />
          </div>
        </div>
      @endif
      {!! Form::open(array('route' => 'image.grayscale.store','enctype' => 'multipart/form-data')) !!}
        <div class="row">
          <div class="col-md-12">
            <div class="form-group">
              <strong>Image:</strong>
              {!! Form::file('image', array('class' => 'form-control image')) !!}
            </div>
          </div>
          <div class="col-md-12 text-center">
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Upload Image</button>
          </div>
        </div>
      {!! Form::close() !!}
    </div>
  </div> 
</div>
</body>
</html>

Now we are ready to run our custom validation rules example so run bellow command for quick run:
