EasyAdmin Image Field
This field is used to manage the uploading of images to the backend. The entity property only stores the path to the image (relative to the upload directory). The actual image contents are stored on the server filesystem or on any remote system configured via the league/flysystem-bundle.
In form pages (edit and new) it looks like this:

Options
setBasePath
By default, images are loaded in read-only pages (index and detail) "as is",
without changing their path. If you serve your images under some path (e.g.
uploads/images/) use this option to configure that:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->setBasePath('uploads/images/');
setUploadDir
By default, the contents of uploaded images are stored into files inside the
<your-project-dir>/public/uploads/images/ directory. Use this option to
change that location. The argument is the directory relative to your project root:
1 2 3
yield ImageField::new('...')->setUploadDir('assets/images/');
// the property will only store the file path relative to this dir
// (e.g. 'logo.png', 'venue/layout.jpg')
setFileConstraints
By default, the uploaded file is validated using an empty Image constraint (which means it only validates that the uploaded file is of type image). Use this option to define the constraints applied to the uploaded file:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->setFileConstraints(new Image(filenameCharset: 'ASCII'));
setUploadedFileNamePattern
By default, uploaded images are stored with the same file name and extension as the original files. Use this option to rename the image files after uploading. The string pattern passed as argument can include the following special values:
[DD], the day part of the current date (with leading zeros, obtained asdate('d'))[MM], the month part of the current date (with leading zeros, obtained asdate('m'))[YYYY], the full year of the current date (obtained asdate('Y'))[YY], the two-digit year of the current date (obtained asdate('y'))[hh], the hour of the current time in 24h format (with leading zeros, obtained asdate('H'))[mm], the minutes of the current time (with leading zeros, obtained asdate('i'))[ss], the seconds of the current time (with leading zeros, obtained asdate('s'))[timestamp], the current timestamp (obtained astime(); e.g.1773256492)[name], the original name of the uploaded file[slug], the slug of the original name of the uploaded file generated with Symfony's String component (all lowercase and using-as the separator)[extension], the original extension of the uploaded file (without the leading dot, e.g.png)[contenthash], a SHA1 hash of the original file contents (40-char hexadecimal string, e.g.3dfd6a9fbb83413b7f47c913ce2a95416dc6da88)[randomhash], a random hash not related in any way to the original file contents (40-char hexadecimal string, e.g.8ff61576fb5f07f82dd9dbb7874cef74e24fcb26)[uuid], a random UUID v4 value formatted as RFC 4122 (36-char hexadecimal string, e.g.d9e7a184-5d5b-11ea-a62a-3499710062d0) (generated with Symfony's Uid component)[uuid32], a random UUID v4 value formatted as Base 32 (26-char string, e.g.6SWYGR8QAV27NACAHMK5RG0RPG) (generated with Symfony's Uid component)[uuid58], a random ULID value formatted as Base 58 (22-char string, e.g.TuetYWNHhmuSQ3xPoVLv9M) (generated with Symfony's Uid component)[ulid], a random ULID value (26-char string, e.g.01AN4Z07BY79KA1307SR9X4MV3) (generated with Symfony's Uid component)
5.1
The [day], [month] and [year] placeholders are deprecated. Use
[DD], [MM] and [YYYY] instead. The old placeholders will be
removed in EasyAdmin 6.0.
You can combine them in any way:
1 2
yield ImageField::new('...')
->setUploadedFileNamePattern('[YYYY]/[MM]/[DD]/[slug]-[contenthash].[extension]');
The argument of this method also accepts a closure that receives as its first argument the Symfony's UploadedFile instance:
1 2 3
yield ImageField::new('...')->setUploadedFileNamePattern(
fn (UploadedFile $file): string => sprintf('upload_%d_%s.%s', random_int(1, 999), $file->getFilename(), $file->guessExtension()))
);
isDeletable
By default, the image upload widget shows a "delete" checkbox that allows users to remove the uploaded image. Use this option to hide that checkbox:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->isDeletable(false);
isDownloadable
By default, a link to download the uploaded image is displayed next to the form field. Use this option to hide that link:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->isDownloadable(false);
isViewable
By default, a link to view the uploaded image is displayed next to the form field. Use this option to hide that link:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->isViewable(false);
maxSize
Use this option to set the maximum allowed image size. The value can be an integer
(number of bytes) or a suffixed string (e.g. '200k', '2M', '1G' for
SI units or '1Ki', '1Mi' for binary units):
1 2
yield ImageField::new('...')->maxSize('5M');
yield ImageField::new('...')->maxSize(1048576); // 1 MB in bytes
You can customize the error message by passing a second argument:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->maxSize('2M', 'The image "{{ name }}" is too large ({{ size }} {{ suffix }}). Maximum allowed: {{ limit }} {{ suffix }}.');
The available placeholders for the error message are: {{ file }} (the absolute
file path), {{ name }} (the base file name), {{ size }} (the file size),
{{ limit }} (the maximum allowed size) and {{ suffix }} (the size unit,
e.g. kB, MB).
mimeTypes
By default, the accepted MIME types are set to image/*, which restricts the
browser's file dialog to image files. Use this option to customize the accepted
file types. The value is a string with a comma-separated list of file extensions
or MIME types. You can use any value valid in the HTML "accept" attribute:
1 2
yield ImageField::new('...')->mimeTypes('.png,.jpg,.webp');
yield ImageField::new('...')->mimeTypes('image/png,image/jpeg');
When this option is set, the corresponding MIME types are also added automatically as validation constraints. You can customize the error message shown when the validation fails by passing a second argument:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->mimeTypes('.png,.jpg', 'The image "{{ name }}" has MIME type "{{ type }}" but only "{{ types }}" are allowed.');
The available placeholders for the error message are: {{ file }} (the absolute
file path), {{ name }} (the base file name), {{ type }} (the MIME type of
the uploaded file) and {{ types }} (the list of allowed MIME types).
Replaced File Behavior
When a user uploads a new image to replace an existing one, ImageField
controls what happens to the old file on disk. There are three behaviors:
deleteReplacedFile-
This is the default behavior. The old file is deleted from disk. If the new file has the same name as an existing file, a numeric suffix (
_1,_2, etc.) is appended to avoid conflicts:1
yield ImageField::new('...')->deleteReplacedFile(); keepReplacedFile-
The old file is kept on disk. If you upload a new file with the same name, the contents are silently overwritten:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->keepReplacedFile(); keepReplacedFileOrFail-
The old file is kept on disk. If the new file's name conflicts with an existing file, an error is thrown:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->keepReplacedFileOrFail();
Flysystem Integration (Remote Storage)
By default, ImageField stores uploaded images on the local filesystem. If you
need to store images in a remote storage service (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage,
Azure Blob Storage, etc.) you can integrate with Flysystem via the
league/flysystem-bundle.
Refer to the FileField documentation for the installation and Flysystem configuration steps.
Usage
Use the setFlysystemStorage() method to tell EasyAdmin which Flysystem storage
to use. The argument is the service ID of the storage as defined in your Flysystem
configuration (e.g. default.storage):
1 2 3 4 5
yield ImageField::new('photo')
->setFlysystemStorage('default.storage')
->setFlysystemUrlPrefix('https://cdn.example.com/uploads')
->setUploadDir('images/')
->setUploadedFileNamePattern('[uuid].[extension]');
setFlysystemStorage
Sets the Flysystem storage service ID to use for uploading and deleting images.
This is the key you defined under flysystem.storages in your Flysystem
configuration:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->setFlysystemStorage('default.storage');
When this option is set, EasyAdmin automatically replaces the local upload,
delete, and validation callables with Flysystem equivalents. The upload directory
configured with setUploadDir() is used as a path prefix inside the Flysystem
storage (not as a local directory).
setFlysystemUrlPrefix
Sets the URL prefix used to build the public URLs for images stored in Flysystem. This is typically a CDN URL or a public URL pointing to your storage bucket:
1
yield ImageField::new('...')->setFlysystemUrlPrefix('https://cdn.example.com/uploads');
This prefix is combined with the image path to generate the full URL shown in the
index and detail pages.
Note
When using Flysystem, the setBasePath() option is ignored. Use
setFlysystemUrlPrefix() instead.
All existing options (setUploadedFileNamePattern(), setFileConstraints(),
mimeTypes(), maxSize(), replaced file behaviors, isDeletable()) continue
to work exactly the same way with Flysystem. See the
FileField documentation for details about how
Flysystem integration works internally.
