How to Upload Images in Laravel and Save to Database using Postman

Uploading images in a web application can be a common task, especially when it comes to managing media and visual content. If you’re working with Laravel and are trying to upload an image via an API using Postman, you've come to the right place. This guide will help you understand the process and correct any issues you might encounter along the way.

The Problem

While working with the BannerCRUDController, you may experience a situation where the output in Postman indicates that the image is null. This can arise for several reasons, particularly if the image field in your request is not properly set up.

For example, you might see:

Upload the Image: Use the file selector to upload an image file in the Postman interface.

Conclusion

Now that you have a clear understanding of how to properly handle image uploads in Laravel, you should be well-equipped to implement this functionality in your application.
