Using Intervention package to compress images. My images are not being compressed, still the same size

I’m using this package http://image.intervention.io/getting_started/installation to compress my images that’s uploaded to my server. However the images are not being compressed.

1. First I installed the Intervention package by putting this in my
   terminal:

   composer require intervention/image

2. Then I added this at the top of my controller:

   use InterventionImageImageManagerStatic as Image;

3. Then I added the encode to minify the image

   Image::make(request()->file(‘img’))->encode(‘jpg’, 1);

4. It’s not minifying the image. It’s still the same size.

   <?php
   
   namespace AppHttpControllers;
   
   use InterventionImageImageManagerStatic as Image;
   use IlluminateSupportFacadesStorage;
   use IlluminateHttpRequest;
   
   class UploadsController extends Controller
   {
   
       public function store()
       {
   
           // Get image
           $img = request()->file('img');
   
           // Minify image
           Image::make($img)->encode('jpg', 1);
   
           // Store image in uploads folder
           Storage::disk('public')->put('uploads', $img);
   
       }
   
   }
