Laravel intervention cannot process 4mb image

Question

I use laravel intervention to create image with watermark, but i found laravel intervention cannot handle image more than 2mb, here is my code:

// open an image file
$img = Image::make('msg-1-fc-40.jpg')->encode('jpg', 75);

$img->fit(250, 250, function ($constraint) {
  $constraint->aspectRatio();
});

// finally we save the image as a new file
$img->save('test.jpg');

How can i process the image more than 2mb?

The package can't handle it or *your server* can't handle it? — Andy Holmes, Sep 21 '17 at 10:44
@AndyHolmesi'm using localhost now, the code keep return "shamirac.dev is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500" when i using 4mb image to test — chengwei, Sep 21 '17 at 10:48
There is an error logged in the log file because you have HTTP ERROR 500 — Maraboc, Sep 21 '17 at 10:49
@AndyHolmes if there is the problem of memory, what should i do? — chengwei, Sep 21 '17 at 11:00
@Maraboc it only happen when i use 4mb image, when i use 1.5mb image, there is no problem. — chengwei, Sep 21 '17 at 11:01

@AndyHolmes i tried, no luck, i increase it to 3000M, but still that same, original value is 128M — chengwei, Sep 21 '17 at 11:11
You upped everything that's in that other answer? Also 3000 is a bit steep, try 256 — Andy Holmes, Sep 21 '17 at 11:23
In case if you are using WAMP or something like that pay attention to what version of PHP you are using and edit `php.ini` accordingly. — Hedegare, Sep 21 '17 at 11:34
@AndyHolmes i change accordingly, but still not working, maybe have to limit the image when upload — chengwei, Sep 21 '17 at 11:56
@Jackowski i'm using XAMPP, by the way, godaddy server also return 500 error — chengwei, Sep 21 '17 at 11:57

Image operations tend to be quite memory exhausting because image handling libraries usually 'unpack' all the pixels to memory.

A JPEG file of 3MB can thus easily grow to 60MB in memory and that's when you've probably hit the memory limit allocated for PHP.

As far I remember, XAMP only allocates 128 MB RAM for PHP.

Check your php.ini and increase the memory limit, e.g.: memory_limit = 512MB

Then restart the server.

But this is not a good approach, the best approach is to compress and resize any image before saving it to the server.
