Latest Version on Packagist Tests

A robust and efficient Laravel package to get the dimensions (width and height) of images from various sources. It's designed to be fast, reliable, and easy to use, with built-in support for caching and optimized handling of remote files.

Features

  • Multiple Sources: Get dimensions from local file paths, remote URLs, and Laravel Storage disks.
  • Wide Format Support: Supports common image formats like PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, and BMP.
  • Advanced SVG Parsing: Correctly determines dimensions from SVGs, including those using viewBox or percentage-based sizes.
  • Optimized Remote Fetching: Reads a minimal portion of remote files first, avoiding large downloads when possible.
  • Built-in Caching: Automatically caches image dimensions to boost performance for repeated requests.
  • Laravel Native: Seamless integration with Laravel's Filesystem, Cache, and HTTP Client.
  • Secure: Includes basic sanitization for SVG files to prevent XSS vulnerabilities.

Requirements

  • PHP 8.1+
  • Laravel 10.x, 11.x, or 12.x

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require jackardios/laravel-image-dimensions

The service provider and facade will be automatically registered.

To publish the configuration file, run:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="image-dimensions-config"

This will create a config/image-dimensions.php file where you can customize the package settings.

Usage

The package provides a simple and consistent API to get image dimensions from different sources. All methods return an associative array ['width' => int, 'height' => int] on success or throw an exception on failure.

Using the Facade

The easiest way to use the package is through the ImageDimensions facade.

From a Local File Path

Provide an absolute path to a file on your server.

use Jackardios\ImageDimensions\Facades\ImageDimensions;

$path = public_path('images/my-image.png');

try {
    $dimensions = ImageDimensions::fromLocal($path);
    // $dimensions -> ['width' => 800, 'height' => 600]
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    // Handle exceptions like FileNotFoundException or InvalidImageException
}

From a Remote URL

Provide a public URL to an image. Only http and https schemes are supported.

use Jackardios\ImageDimensions\Facades\ImageDimensions;

$url = 'https://example.com/path/to/image.jpg';

try {
    $dimensions = ImageDimensions::fromUrl($url);
    // $dimensions -> ['width' => 1920, 'height' => 1080]
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    // Handle exceptions like UrlAccessException or InvalidImageException
}

From Laravel Storage

Provide the disk name and the path to the file within that disk. This works for both local and cloud-based storage drivers (like s3).

use Jackardios\ImageDimensions\Facades\ImageDimensions;

// Example with a local disk
$dimensions = ImageDimensions::fromStorage('public', 'uploads/avatar.png');

// Example with an S3 disk
$dimensions = ImageDimensions::fromStorage('s3', 'images/banner.svg');

Exception Handling

The package throws specific exceptions to allow for fine-grained error handling:

  • FileNotFoundException: The file does not exist at the specified local or storage path.
  • UrlAccessException: The URL could not be accessed (e.g., 404 error, network timeout).
  • InvalidImageException: The file is not a valid or supported image, or its dimensions could not be determined.
  • StorageAccessException: The file stream or content could not be read from the storage disk.
  • TemporaryFileException: A temporary file could not be created or written to, often due to permissions issues.

Configuration

After publishing the configuration file, you can modify the settings in config/image-dimensions.php.

Caching

Caching is enabled by default to improve performance.

  • enable_cache: Set to true to enable caching, false to disable it.
  • cache_ttl: The duration (in seconds) to cache dimensions. The default is 3600 (1 hour).

The cache key is generated based on the source type, identifier (path/URL), and file modification time (for local/storage files), ensuring the cache is automatically invalidated when a file changes.

Remote File Handling

  • remote_read_bytes: The number of bytes to initially read from a remote source (URL or cloud storage). This allows the package to get dimensions from the image header without downloading the entire file. Default: 131072 (128KB).
  • http: Standard Laravel HTTP Client options like timeout, connect_timeout, and verify_ssl.

SVG Handling

  • svg.max_file_size: The maximum allowed file size (in bytes) for SVG files to prevent parsing of excessively large files. Default: 10485760 (10MB).
