Laravel 12 CKeditor Image Upload Example

In this post, I will show you how to image upload with CKEditor in laravel 12 application.

CKEditor is a web-based, open-source WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that allows users to edit text content in a browser. It is a powerful tool that enables users to create and format text, add images and multimedia, and edit HTML code without any knowledge of coding. CKEditor was first released in 2003 and has since become a popular choice for web developers and content creators due to its versatility and ease of use. It is written in JavaScript and can be integrated into any web application with ease.

we will create a simple CKEditor instance with an image upload option that saves the image to local storage. We will set up two routes, one for GET and one for POST requests (for image uploads). Once the user selects an image and submits it, the image will be stored in the ‘media’ folder.

So, let’s see below the steps to getting done with image upload in CKEditor Laravel.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
