    $aliases => [
        .....
        .....,
        'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class
    ]

Step 3: Create Routes

In this step we will add routes and controller file so first add bellow route in your routes.php file.

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\ImageController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| 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('resizeImage', [ImageController::class, 'resizeImage']);
Route::post('resizeImagePost', [ImageController::class, 'resizeImagePost'])->name('resizeImagePost');

php artisan make:controller ImageController

After this command you can find ImageController.php file in your app/Http/Controllers directory. open ImageController.php file and put bellow code in that file.

app/Http/Controllers/ImageController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
   
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Image;
  
class ImageController extends Controller
{
  
    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function resizeImage()
    {
        return view('resizeImage');
    }
  
    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function resizeImagePost(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'title' => 'required',
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);
  
        $image = $request->file('image');
        $input['imagename'] = time().'.'.$image->extension();
     
        $destinationPath = public_path('/thumbnail');
        $img = Image::make($image->path());
        $img->resize(100, 100, function ($constraint) {
            $constraint->aspectRatio();
        })->save($destinationPath.'/'.$input['imagename']);
   
        $destinationPath = public_path('/images');
        $image->move($destinationPath, $input['imagename']);
   
        return back()
            ->with('success','Image Upload successful')
            ->with('imageName',$input['imagename']);
    }
   
}

Step 5: View File and Create Upload directory

Ok, in this last step we will create resizeImage.blade.php file for photo upload form and manage error message and also success message. So first create resizeImage.blade.php file and put bellow code:

resources/views/resizeImage.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel Resize Image Tutorial - ItSolutionStuff.com</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://demo.itsolutionstuff.com/plugin/bootstrap-3.min.css">

    @if (count($errors) > 0)
        <div class="alert alert-danger">
            <strong>Whoops!</strong> There were some problems with your input.<br><br>
            <ul>
                @foreach ($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-4">
            <strong>Original Image:</strong>
            <br/>
            <img src="/images/{{ Session::get('imageName') }}" />
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-4">
            <strong>Thumbnail Image:</strong>
            <br/>
            <img src="/thumbnail/{{ Session::get('imageName') }}" />
        </div>
    </div>
    @endif
         
    <form action="{{ route('resizeImagePost') }}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        @csrf
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-4">
                <br/>
                <input type="text" name="title" class="form-control" placeholder="Add Title">
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-12">
                <br/>
                <input type="file" name="image" class="image">
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-12">
                <br/>
                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Upload Image</button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </form>
</div>
  
</body>
</html>
