this is the code that i use to get the image:
$img = \Image::make($ad['image_url']);
return $img->response();
it works, the only thing is that the image returned is static.
When opening the real image url in a tab, it's animated
is there a way to get the animated result?
I think intervention library doesn't support animated Gif you may try other libraries directly like imagik or gd as given below https://github.com/Intervention/image/issues/176
Send the mime type also in response()
$img = \Image::make($ad['image_url']);
return $img->response($img->mime());
response() method takes two parameter mimetype and quality in integer
Hope this helps.
Thank you all, I solved it using another answer here on stackoverflow
$remoteImage = "http://www.example.com/gifs/logo.gif";
$imginfo = getimagesize($remoteImage);
header("Content-type: {$imginfo['mime']}");
readfile($remoteImage);
this returns the correct format
