Adding watermark on image from databases in Laravel 5.3

I am trying to add watermark on image from database in Laravel using Intervention Image package. In my database table I am saving the path of the image. I am using Accessors in my model to get access to the field of the image path but I am getting this error:

Method insert does not exist.

Here is my model:

My model

Here is my blade:

my view

Solution 
  • public function getFilePathAttribute($value){
    $img = Image::make(public_path($value)); //your image I assume you have in public directory
    $img->insert(public_path('watermark.png'), 'bottom-right', 10, 10); //insert watermark in (also from public_directory)
    $img->save(public_path($value)); //save created image (will override old image)
    return $value; //return value
}

    It is better to do it on upload so you do it Once not always when trying to access the image path from DB (less proccess) FYI: this will save already watermarked image
