Let's start following example:

Step 1: Install Laravel

First of all we are going from scratch new laravel application. if you have already created the project, then skip following step.

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
Step 2 : Create New Controller

In this second step, we need to create a new ImageController; in this file, we will add two method index() and store() for render view and store image logic.

Let's create ImageController by following command:

php artisan make:controller ImageController
app/Http/Controllers/ImageController.php
<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  
class ImageController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('imageUpload');
    }
      
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);
      
        $imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();  
       
        $request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);
    
        /* 
            Write Code Here for
            Store $imageName name in DATABASE from HERE 
        */
      
        return back()
            ->with('success','You have successfully upload image.')
            ->with('image',$imageName); 
    }
}
Store Image in Storage Folder
$request->image->storeAs('images', $imageName);

// storage/app/images/file.png
Store Image in Public Folder
$request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);

// public/images/file.png
Store Image in S3
$request->image->storeAs('images', $imageName, 's3');
Step 3 : Create Routes routes/web.php
<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\ImageController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('upload-image', [ ImageController::class, 'index' ]);
Route::post('upload-image', [ ImageController::class, 'store' ])->name('image.store');
Step 4: Create Blade File resources/views/imageUpload.blade.php
