Laravel 5.2 Intervention Image 500 Server Error

Question

When I upload big images (4.2 MB) Intervention Image is throwing 500 Error...

private function resizeImage($path, $imgName){
    $sizes = getimagesize($path.$imgName);
    if($sizes[0] > $sizes[1]){
        ImageManagerStatic::make($path.$imgName)->fit(920,474)->insert(public_path() . "/uploads/applications/watermark.png",'bottom-right', 30, 30)->save($path."1_".$imgName);
    }else{
        ImageManagerStatic::make($path.$imgName)->heighten(474)->insert(public_path() . "/uploads/applications/watermark.png",'bottom-right', 30, 30)->save($path."1_".$imgName);
    }
    ImageManagerStatic::make($path.$imgName)->fit(440,226)->save($path."2_".$imgName);
    File::delete($path.$imgName);
}

It works for smaller files. upload_max_filesize=10M. When I comment this function it works :/

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

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.
