I solved the problem with

  1. I just enable PHP gd extension from php.ini file
  2. installing PHP package PhpSpreadsheet

Solution 2:[2]

The problem is about Laravel Excel requirements. It seems PhpSpreadsheet: ^1.15 is not installed. Here is the list of requirements for Laravel-Excel 3.1,

PHP: ^7.2\|^8.0
Laravel: ^5.8
PhpSpreadsheet: ^1.15
PHP extension php_zip enabled
PHP extension php_xml enabled
PHP extension php_gd2 enabled
PHP extension php_iconv enabled
PHP extension php_simplexml enabled
PHP extension php_xmlreader enabled
PHP extension php_zlib enabled

Make sure these are installed and enabled on your php.ini. Also make sure your php version on composer.json is set like this:

"require": {
    "php": "^7.2|^8.0",
},

Instead of something like this "php": ">=7.2". Check this out for more information. Please let me know if it worked.

I just want share another answer related here. If you run on unix (linux), try install php-gd using command line. Try check other answer related to your system.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php8.0-gd

Issue with enabling GD in PHP

If you using windows. Use this command.

composer require maatwebsite/excel --ignore-platform-reqs

This problem happen only on php 8.x! perhaps on lastest php 7. The problem same as above and still failed even php-gd is active. When type

composer require maatwebsite/excel

the error still the same. When checking using

php -i

(basicly same as phpinfo in console). We can see php gd is active. This answer is not recommended at the moment. Fixed still on the way related to this issue.
