Do note that you can also pass in the image path from the Laravel model like below. Imagine you have a Post model that store the path of the image that's located within the storage directory.

$path = storage_path('app/public/' . Post::first()->poster);
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($path);
