Create Image Collage with ease now with PHP. This package uses intervention/image package to leverage image manipulation.
Using this package is very easy and creating Beautiful Collages are not tough anymore.
NOTE: Currently this package only supports 4 images. You can write your own generator to add 5 if you like.
This is a composer package. So just run the below composer command inside your project directory to get it installed.
composer require tzsk/collageIf you are using this package outside laravel then you don't need to do this step.
This package supports Package Auto-Discovery. And the latest version only supports Laravel >= 7.x
If you want to use any other driver besides 'gd' then you have to publish the configuration file:
php artisan collage:publishYou will then have a file in your config directory: config/collage.php
If you are using 'imagick' then you can change it.
First you need to have a set of images to make collage of. This package can except many kinds of Targets.
$images = [
// List of images
'images/some-image.jpg',
];There are other kinds of image targets supported:
$images = [
// 1. File Contents
file_get_contents('some/image/path/or/url'),
// 2. Direct URLs
'https://some/image/url',
// 3. Absolute & Relative Path
'/some/image/somewhere/on/disk',
// 4. Intervention\Image\Image Object
ImageManagerStatic::make('...'),
// It's Intervention\Image\ImageManagerStatic
// 5. Or if you are Using Laravel
Image::make('...'),
// It's Intervention\Image\Facades\Image
];Depending upon the number of images in the array this package will automatically use the right Generator.
Firstly, use the Class Namespace at the top.
use Tzsk\Collage\MakeCollage;
$collage = new MakeCollage($driver); // Default: 'gd'The Driver is either 'gd' or 'imagick'. Depending upon which library you are using with PHP. You can customize that. The default is
'gd'.
Supported, yes.
$image = $collage->make(400, 400)->from($images);
// Add Padding:
$image = $collage->make(400, 400)->padding(10)->from($images);
// Add Background Color:
$image = $collage->make(400, 400)->padding(10)->background('#000')->from($images);$image = $collage->make(400, 400)->from($images); // Default Alignment: vertical
// Change Alignment:
$image = $collage->make(400, 400)->from($images, function($alignment) {
$alignment->vertical(); // Default, no need to have the Closure at all.
// OR...
$alignment->horizontal();
});You can also add
padding()andbackground()here.
$image = $collage->make(400, 400)->from($images); // Default Alignment: twoTopOneBottom
// Change Alignment:
$image = $collage->make(400, 400)->from($images, function($alignment) {
$alignment->twoTopOneBottom(); // Default, no need to have the Closure at all.
// OR...
$alignment->oneTopTwoBottom();
// OR...
$alignment->oneLeftTwoRight();
// OR...
$alignment->twoLeftOneRight();
// OR...
$alignment->vertical();
// OR...
$alignment->horizontal();
});You can also add
padding()andbackground()here.
$image = $collage->make(400, 400)->from($images); // Default Alignment: grid
// Change Alignment:
$image = $collage->make(400, 400)->from($images, function($alignment) {
$alignment->grid(); // Default, no need to have the Closure at all.
// OR...
$alignment->vertical();
// OR...
$alignment->horizontal();
});You can also add
padding()andbackground()here.
In laravel you already have the Alias for the Collage Maker
use Tzsk\Collage\Facade\Collage;
$image = Collage::make(400, 400)->from($images);The rest of the Features are same as when using in normal php.
$image = Collage::make(400, 400)->from($images);
// Add Padding:
$image = Collage::make(400, 400)->padding(10)->from($images);
// Add Background Color:
$image = Collage::make(400, 400)->padding(10)->background('#000')->from($images);$image = Collage::make(400, 400)->from($images); // Default Alignment: vertical
// Change Alignment:
$image = Collage::make(400, 400)->from($images, function($alignment) {
$alignment->vertical(); // Default, no need to have the Closure at all.
// OR...
$alignment->horizontal();
});You can also add
padding()andbackground()here.
$image = Collage::make(400, 400)->from($images); // Default Alignment: twoTopOneBottom
// Change Alignment:
$image = Collage::make(400, 400)->from($images, function($alignment) {
$alignment->twoTopOneBottom(); // Default, no need to have the Closure at all.
// OR...
$alignment->oneTopTwoBottom();
// OR...
$alignment->oneLeftTwoRight();
// OR...
$alignment->twoLeftOneRight();
// OR...
$alignment->vertical();
// OR...
$alignment->horizontal();
});You can also add
padding()andbackground()here.
$image = Collage::make(400, 400)->from($images); // Default Alignment: grid
// Change Alignment:
$image = Collage::make(400, 400)->from($images, function($alignment) {
$alignment->grid(); // Default, no need to have the Closure at all.
// OR...
$alignment->vertical();
// OR...
$alignment->horizontal();
});You can also add
padding()andbackground()here.
The reaturned $image is the instance of Intervention\Image\Image object.
You can do multiple things with it.
- You can save the final collage.
- You can just use it as a plain response.
- You can crop/resize/colorize and more.
Read more about what you can do in the Official Documentation.
Creating a generator is very easy. Create a class that extends the abstract class: Tzsk\Collage\Contracts\CollageGenerator.
use Tzsk\Collage\Contracts\CollageGenerator;
class FiveImage extends CollageGenerator
{
/**
* @param Closure $closure
* @return \Intervention\Image\Image
*/
public function create($closure = null)
{
// Your code to generate the Intervention\Image\Image object
}
}NOTE: Take a look at
src/Contracts/CollageGenerator.phpfor details about all the things you have access to in the generator class. Also, if you need a reference consider looking into:src/Generators/FourImage.php.
$image = $collage->with([5 => Your\Class\Namespace\FiveImage::class]);
// Here the key is the number of file your generator accepts.
// After this you can continue chaining methods like ->padding()->from() as usual.You can also override existing generators. Let's say you want to have the FourImage generator to behave differently.
You can make your own MyFourImage class and add it.
$image = $collage->with([4 => Your\Class\Namespace\MyFourImage::class]);
// It will replace the existing Generator with your own.
// After this you can continue chaining methods like ->padding()->from() as usual.$image = Collage::with([5 => Your\Class\Namespace\FiveImage::class]);

// After this you can continue chaining methods like ->padding()->from() as usual.You can also do this from the config/collage.php config file.
There is a generators array which is currently empty. You can add your own generators there like below to Replace or add new generators.
'generators' => [
// It will replace the current FourImage generator.
4 => Your\Class\Namespace\MyFourImage::class,
// It will add a new generator.
5 => Your\Class\Namespace\FiveImage::class,
