Laravel 5.1 Intervention Image compressing

I use Laravel 5.1 and the intervention package: http://image.intervention.io/

I try to compress my images. I would like to upload a 2.5Mb image and compress it by reducing the image size to arround 700kb by keeping the resolution and the image quality. Just reducing a large image file to a small one. The uploaded image is a .jpg file

I use the following code:

$targetFolder = public_path().'/images/';
$name=$image->getClientOriginalName();
$extension = $image->getClientOriginalExtension(); // add
$picture = sha1($name . time()) . '.' . $extension; //add

$image->move($targetFolder, $picture);
$image = \Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::make(sprintf('images/%s', $picture))->encode('jpg', 75);

But my image size is still arround 2.07Mb

The question is what method I have to use to get the desired result?

mewebstudio/captcha wrong captcha in validation

I know this topic is existing, but no one could solve my problem.
I am using the library mewebstudio/captcha, everything is fine, but when I submit, it tells me always that the captcha is wrong.

My validation rules:

'captcha' => 'required|captcha'

In my html form:

<?= captcha_img(); ?>
<input type="text" name="captcha">

I am using php5.6, Laravel 5.1 and mews/captcha 2.2

Session expired randomly in laravel 5.1

session is being expired randomly after some pages requests. it is not fixed some time session expired between 10 to 15 minutes , some times session expired after 2 to 3 pages request only . And some times not every times when i posting data from a page it say's TokenMismatchException in VerifyCsrfToken.php but i've added in the form .

I'm using database driver for session. i would like to tell that before this i was using file driver for session but there was same condition.

here is my config/session.php file

Laravel 5.1 Max image size

I'm using Laravel 5.1 and php 7. I try to implement an image upload. Large images fails to upload. (A white screen appears with no error message) I tested it locally on xampp and on a webspace. With small images it works. It fails with an image of 2.5MB but the max value is 5000.

My controller:

public function fileUpload(Request $request)

{

     $this->validate($request, [

        'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:5000',
     ]);


     $image = $request->file('image');

     $input['imagename'] = time().'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();

     $destinationPath = public_path('/images');

     $image->move($destinationPath, $input['imagename']);


    $this->postImage->add($input);


    return back()->with('success','Image Upload successful');

}

The questions:

1. Why there is no error message? Only a white screen appears when it fails to upload. (Maybe there is a necessary configuration to do in one of the laravel config files?
2. Why it works with smaller images? Where in xampp and on the webspace it's a configuration necessary?
