Image Manager

• Create a new Image Manager Instance
• Create a new Image Manager Instance with Static Helper Methods
  • Static Constructor
  • Static GD Driver Constructor
  • Static Imagick Driver Constructor
• Access Image Manager's Driver

The image manager is the starting point for all operations. With this class you determine the driver to use and call the methods needed for instantiation.

Create a new Image Manager Instance

public ImageManager::__construct(string|DriverInterface $driver): ImageManager

The image manager instantiation configures the entire setup and specifies the driver. The possible values for the driver are either an instance or a class name of driver.

Intervention Image is currently shipped with two different drivers. Depending on your PHP installation, you can choose between GD or Imagick.

• Intervention\Image\Drivers\Gd\Driver
• Intervention\Image\Drivers\Imagick\Driver

Parameters

Examples

use Intervention\Image\ImageManager;
use Intervention\Image\Drivers\Imagick\Driver;

// create new manager instance with desired driver
$manager = new ImageManager(new Driver());

// alternatively create new manager instance by class name
$manager = new ImageManager(Driver::class);

Create a new Image Manager Instance with Static Helper Methods

Static Constructor

public static ImageManager::withDriver(string|DriverInterface $driver): ImageManager

The static helper method acts the same way as the constructor and takes either a class name or an instance of the driver.

Parameters

Examples

use Intervention\Image\ImageManager;
use Intervention\Image\Drivers\Imagick\Driver;

// create new manager instance with desired driver
$manager = ImageManager::withDriver(new Driver());

// or create new manager by class name
$manager = ImageManager::withDriver(Driver::class);

Static GD Driver Constructor

public static ImageManager::gd(): ImageManager

This static helper methods for GD driver creates a new image manager instance directly without arguments.

Examples

use Intervention\Image\ImageManager;

// create new image manager with gd driver
$manager = ImageManager::gd();

Static Imagick Driver Constructor

public static ImageManager::imagick(): ImageManager

This static helper methods takes no arguments and creates a new image manager instance with Imagick driver directly.

Examples

use Intervention\Image\ImageManager;

// create new image manager with gd driver
$manager = ImageManager::imagick();

Access Image Manager's Driver

public ImageManager::driver(): DriverInterface

As already described, the Image Manger is created with a driver instance as a dependency. This function ensures that it can be accessed at a later point in time.

Examples

use Intervention\Image\ImageManager;
use Intervention\Image\Drivers\Gd\Driver;

// create image manager with driver
$manager = new ImageManager(new Driver());

// access driver from image manager
$driver = $manager->driver();
