Laravel 5.2 Intervention Image 500 Server Error

Today I got the same issue in Laravel 5.5 while using Intervention Package for resizing images exactly at below code:

Image::make($image_tmp)->save($image_path);

I don't have access to php.ini file in server and server will take time for update so temporarily increased memory limit in function itself in my Controller file like below:

In ImagesController.php file :-

public function addImage(Request $request){

    // Temporarily increase memory limit to 256MB
    ini_set('memory_limit','256M');

    $extension = Input::file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
    $fileName = rand(111,99999).'.'.$extension;
    $image_path = 'images/'.$fileName;
    $image_tmp = Input::file('image');
    Image::make($image_tmp)->resize(1182, 1506)->save($image_path);
}

Hope it will help someone in future!

I had the same problem with Laravel 5.1 and Intervention Image library. In my case the issue came from the line Image::make($file) not the upload part.

I tried change the values of:

• upload_max_filesize from 2M to 32M
• post_max_size from 2M to 32M

Change nothing to the error I received.

So I increase :

• memory_limit to 256M

It solved my problem. My hypothesis is that even if my image was about 6Mo, the image library needed a lot of memory to use it.

edit your php.ini:

upload_max_filesize = 40M

post_max_size = 40M

Maybe your post_max_size is under 4MB. And then restart the server.

I had the same issue and increasing upload_max_filesize were not enough. I also increased memory_limit to 256M and restarted the server. Then images were working with Intervention. [Above changes are in php.ini file]

You may want to change upload_max_filesize and memory_limit according to file capacity you are using.
