encode — Encode image

Description

public Intervention\Image\Image encode([mixed $format, [int $quality]])

Encodes the current image in given format and given image quality.

Parameters

format (optional)

Define the encoding format from one of the following formats:

• jpg — return jpeg encoded image data
• png — return png encoded image data
• gif — return gif encoded image data
• data-url — encode current image data in data URI scheme (RFC 2397)

By default the method will return data encoded in the type of the current image. If no image type is defined yet, data will be encoded as jpeg.

quality (optional)

Define the quality of the encoded image optionally. Data ranging from 0 (poor quality, small file) to 100 (best quality, big file). Quality is only applied if you’re encoding JPG format since PNG compression is lossless and does not affect image quality. Default: 90.

Return Values

Encoded image string.

Examples

// encode image as png
$png = Image::make('public/foo.jpg')->encode('png', 75);
// encode image as data-url
$data = Image::make('public/bar.png')->encode('data-url');
