Laravel Image S3

A lightweight Laravel package to upload images to S3-compatible storage (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces) or a local disk, and automatically generate configurable size/quality variants.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• Laravel ^11.0 | ^12.0 | ^13.0
• GD extension (used by Intervention Image for processing)

Installation

composer require leorossi/laravel-image-s3

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=image-s3-config

If you want to publish migrations instead of using auto-discovery:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=image-s3-migrations

Run migrations:

php artisan migrate

Configuration

The published config file lives at config/image-s3.php.

return [
    'disk' => env('IMAGE_S3_DISK', 's3'),

    'original_directory' => 'original',
    'variants_directory' => 'variants',

    'queue' => [
        'enabled' => env('IMAGE_S3_QUEUE_ENABLED', false),
        'connection' => env('IMAGE_S3_QUEUE_CONNECTION', null),
        'queue' => env('IMAGE_S3_QUEUE_NAME', 'default'),
    ],

    'variants' => [
        'thumbnail' => [
            'width' => 150,
            'height' => 150,
            'quality' => 80,
            'fit' => 'cover',   // crop to exact size
        ],
        'medium' => [
            'width' => 800,
            'height' => 600,
            'quality' => 85,
            'fit' => 'contain', // fit inside dimensions
        ],
        'large' => [
            'width' => 1920,
            'height' => 1080,
            'quality' => 90,
            'fit' => 'contain',
        ],
    ],
];

Adding custom variants

You can add as many variants as you want. Each variant needs:

• width — target width in pixels
• height — target height in pixels
• quality — JPEG/WebP quality (0–100)
• fit — cover (crop to exact dimensions) or contain (fit inside dimensions)

Usage

Upload an image

use LeoRossi\LaravelImageS3\Facades\ImageS3;

$upload = ImageS3::upload($request->file('photo'), 'My photo alt text');

$upload->original_url;
$upload->variantUrl('thumbnail');
$upload->srcset();

Using the service directly

use LeoRossi\LaravelImageS3\Contracts\ImageUploaderInterface;

public function __construct(private ImageUploaderInterface $uploader) {}

$upload = $this->uploader->upload($request->file('photo'));

Queue variant generation

Set queue.enabled to true to process variants asynchronously. The original image is stored immediately; a ProcessImageVariants job is dispatched to generate variants.

Delete an upload

Deleting the model also removes the original and all variants from storage:

$upload->delete();

Or use the facade/service:

ImageS3::delete($upload);

S3 / Cloudflare R2 Setup

Laravel does not include the S3 Flysystem adapter by default. Install it first:

composer require league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3

Configure your disk as usual in config/filesystems.php:

'r2' => [
    'driver' => 's3',
    'key' => env('CLOUDFLARE_R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
    'secret' => env('CLOUDFLARE_R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
    'region' => 'auto',
    'bucket' => env('CLOUDFLARE_R2_BUCKET'),
    'endpoint' => env('CLOUDFLARE_R2_ENDPOINT'),
    'use_path_style_endpoint' => true,
    'visibility' => 'public',
],

Then set IMAGE_S3_DISK=r2 in your .env.

Testing

The package ships with PHPUnit tests using a local testing disk:

composer install
vendor/bin/phpunit
