**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 Migration and Model**

Here, we will create migration for "images" table, let's run bellow command and update code.

```
php artisan make:migration create_images_table
```

database/migrations/2022\_02\_10\_140040\_create\_images\_table.php

```
<?php  use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;  return new class extends Migration{    /**     * Run the migrations.     *     * @return void     */    public function up()    {        Schema::create('images', function (Blueprint $table) {            $table->id();            $table->string('name');            $table->timestamps();        });    }      /**     * Reverse the migrations.     *     * @return void     */    public function down()    {        Schema::dropIfExists('images');    }};
```

Next, run create new migration using laravel migration command as bellow:

```
php artisan migrate
```

Now we will create Image model by using following command:

```
php artisan make:model Image
```

app/Models/Image.php

```
<?php  namespace App\Models;  use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;  class Image extends Model{    use HasFactory;      protected $fillable = [        'name'    ];}
```

**Step 3: 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 images into folder and database 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;use App\Models\Image;  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([            'images' => 'required',            'images.*' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',        ]);              $images = [];        if ($request->images){            foreach($request->images as $key => $image)            {                $imageName = time().rand(1,99).'.'.$image->extension();                  $image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);                  $images[]['name'] = $imageName;            }        }          foreach ($images as $key => $image) {            Image::create($image);        }              return back()                ->with('success','You have successfully upload image.')                ->with('images', $images);     }}
```

Store Images in Storage Folder

```
$image->storeAs('images', $imageName);  // storage/app/images/file.png
```

Store Images in Public Folder

```
$image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);  // public/images/file.png
```

Store Images in S3

```
$image->storeAs('images', $imageName, 's3');
```

**Step 4: 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 5: 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

```
