Imagick is another Image Driver, and have powerful ability. If you want to use it you must install is ahead.

@jianhuawang Thanks...
I have installed both imagick and ghostscript on my windows system and working fine. But when i try to use this class in my controller, It throws this exception

vendor\intervention\image\src\Intervention\Image\Gd\Decoder.php

public function initFromImagick(\Imagick $object)

{
    throw new \Intervention\Image\Exception\NotSupportedException(
        "Gd driver is unable to init from Imagick object."
    );
}

This is how I'm instatiating the class
use PdfToImage;
PdfToImage::pdfFile('test.pdf')->saveImage();

@jianhuawang The bug is coming from this Method

` public function saveImage($pagePointer = 1)
{
$imageWriter = $this->getImagick($pagePointer);
//dd($this->format, $this->quality);

    //Check this line where you are using Image intervention to make and encode the file
    $imageContent = Image::make($imageWriter)->encode($this->format, $this->quality);

    $distDir = $this->solveDistDir();
    $imageName = $this->solveDistImageName($pagePointer);

    $imageStorage = Storage::disk($this->imageDisk);

    return $imageStorage->put($distDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $imageName, $imageContent);
}`

This line where Image Intervention is being called to be precise
$imageContent = Image::make($imageWriter)->encode($this->format, $this->quality);

Did you install imagick extension?

download from here: http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.4.3/windows
There are several steps of installing imagick extension for php. After finish, run phpinfo();

I suggest you search the operations detail by google or other search engine.

@jianhuawang Both Imagick and Ghostscript is installed and working after reading the Error carefully and going through Intervention Decode.php class, I saw that the GD driver won't work on Imagick file. So i needed to change the default driver from GD to Imagick by adding this line of code in the saveImage method in your class
//Set Intervention to use imagick as its driver rather than the default GD Image::configure(array('driver' => 'imagick'));

public function saveImage($pagePointer = 1) { $imageWriter = $this->getImagick($pagePointer); //Set Intervention to use imagick as its driver rather than the default GD Image::configure(array('driver' => 'imagick')); $imageContent = Image::make($imageWriter)->encode($this->format, $this->quality); $distDir = $this->solveDistDir(); $imageName = $this->solveDistImageName($pagePointer); $imageStorage = Storage::disk($this->imageDisk); return $imageStorage->put($distDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $imageName, $imageContent); }

And this was able to fix it
