Saving images	2

By default calling the save method on the Image will apply all manipulations to your original image file.

Image::load('example.jpg')
    ->sepia()
    ->save();

To save the image as a copy in a new location pass in the optional $outputPath.

Image::load('example.jpg')
    ->sepia()
    ->save('sepia-example.jpg');

Saving in a different image format

To save your image as a different image format call the format method and pass in the desired format. Currently the following formats are supported: FORMAT_JPG, FORMAT_PJPG, FORMAT_PNG, FORMAT_GIF and FORMAT_WEBP.

Image::load('example.jpg')
    ->format(Manipulations::FORMAT_PNG)
    ->save('example.png');

Alternatively you can change the image format by saving the image with a different file extension than the original image. The Image package will then attempt to convert the image to the correct image format.

Image::load('example.jpg')
    ->save('converted-example.png'); // Will convert the original image to PNG

Changing JPEG quality

By calling the quality method on the Image you can specify the JPEG quality in percent. This only applies to saving JPEG files.

The $quality argument should be an integer ranging from 0 to 100.

Image::load('example.jpg')
    ->quality(20)
    ->save();
