# Laravel 9 Image Upload Example Tutorial

Hello All,

This post will give you an example of laravel 9 image upload example. I explained simply step by step image upload in laravel 9. this example will help you laravel 9 upload image to the database.

In this tutorial, we will create two routes one for get method to render forms and another for the post method to upload image code. we created a simple form with file input. So you have to simply select an image and then it will upload in the "images" directory of a public folder.

So you have to simply follow bellow steps and get an image upload in the laravel 9 application.

**Step 1: Install Laravel 9**

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

```
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
```

**Step 2: Create Controller**

In this step, we will create a new ImageController; in this file, we will add two method index() and store() for render view and store image logic.

Let's create ImageController by following command:

```
php artisan make:controller ImageController
```

next, let's update the following code to Controller File.

app/Http/Controllers/ImageController.php

```
<?php  namespace App\Http\Controllers;  use Illuminate\Http\Request;  class ImageController 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: Create and Add Routes**

Furthermore, open routes/web.php file and add the routes to manage GET and POST requests for render view and store image logic.

routes/web.php

```
<?php  use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;  use App\Http\Controllers\ImageController;  /* |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 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::controller(ImageController::class)->group(function(){    Route::get('image-upload', 'index');    Route::post('image-upload', 'store')->name('image.store');});
```

**Step 4: Create Blade File**

At last step we need to create imageUpload.blade.php file and in this file we will create form with file input button. So copy bellow and put on that file.

resources/views/imageUpload.blade.php

```
