How to write text on image in Laravel and save

First, we need to add a Laravel package by the composer using the following line.

composer require intervention/image

After that, we need to add the provider path and alias in the config/app.php

'Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider'

And alias

'Image' => 'Intervention\Image\Facades\Image'

After That add a route in web.php.

Route::get('text-on-image','[email protected]')->name('textOnImage');

After that create a New Route using this flowing command.

php artisan make:controller ImageController 

Then, go the app/http/controllers find ImageController and add a new function called textOnImage.

public function textOnImage()  
    {  
       $img = Image::make(public_path('images/codermen.jpg'));  
       $img->text('Hello coderMen', 120, 100, function($font) {  
          $font->file(public_path('path/font.ttf'));  
          $font->size(28);  
          $font->color('#4285F4');  
          $font->align('center');  
          $font->valign('bottom');  
          $font->angle(0);  
      });  
       $img->save(public_path('images/text_with_image.jpg'));  
    }

Possible Error

Maybe it will give an error 

NotSupportedException in Font.php line 30: Internal GD font () not available. Use only 1-5.

Solution:

Remove public_path() from Image: make, file and save the class. and use this finale code.

public function textOnImage()  
    {  
       $img = Image::make('images/codermen.jpg');  
       $img->text('Hello coderMen', 120, 100, function($font) {  
          $font->file('path/font.ttf');  
          $font->size(28);  
          $font->color('#4285F4');  
          $font->align('center');  
          $font->valign('bottom');  
          $font->angle(0);  
      });  
       $img->save('images/text_with_image.jpg');  
    }
