Add Watermark on an Images in Laravel 5.8 step by step

To create copyright on images, make image private we need a watermark image or we can identify this all images by our website. In this post, I will give you a very simple method with the example to add watermark to an image in Laravel 5.8 project.

To make a watermark on an image. we will install intervention/image package and then we will create one simple route to adding image watermark in Laravel app. so let's follow below step to add image watermark in Laravel 5.8.

Step:1 Install intervention/image Package

At the first step, I install an intervention/image composer package for adding watermark to the image in Laravel 5.8. to install a package using the flowing command.

composer require intervention/image

After we need to set providers and alias

 config/app.php 

.....
'providers' => [
	....
	Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class
]
'aliases' => [
	....
	'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class
]
.....

Step:2 Add Watermark to image

Here, I created a simple route (you can use as well controller ) to add watermark to the image. so you need to add two images on your public "images" folder for testing purpose.

Here I use two images one for the main image and a second image for watermark so I have a main.png and logo.png image on your images folder for demo.

Route::get('addWatermark', function()
{
    $img = Image::make(public_path('images/main.png'));
   
    /* insert watermark at bottom-right corner with 10px offset */
    $img->insert(public_path('images/logo.png'), 'bottom-right', 10, 10);
   
    $img->save(public_path('images/main-new.png')); 
   
    dd('saved image successfully.');
});
