The image cannot be displayed because it contains errors laravel

I am working on a laravel project in which I am trying to show image using url but getting error. I have tried a lot and search everything but I don't understand why I am getting this error. I am using the below function 

    public function displayImage($filename){

        $path = storage_path("app/taskImage/".$filename);

        if (!File::exists($path)) {
            abort(404);
        }

        $file = File::get($path);

        $type = File::mimeType($path);

        $response = \Response::make($file, 200);

        $response->header("Content-Type", $type);

        return $response;
    }

And the route is 

Route::get('taskImg/{filename?}', [
        'uses' => 'FormController@displayImage',
    ]);

And the URL which I am tring is like

http://localhost/project_name/public/taskImg/test.jpg

when I have print something I am getting the that but Not getting the Image. It is showing a blank screen with error message The image cannot be displayed because it contains errors

TLDR: there might be a newline before a <?php in a PHP file, just search for it, remove it, and check if error persists.

In case 5 years later, someone comes across this same error... I have just experienced it and after applying the line suggested by shamaseen

just add ob_end_clean

ob_end_clean();

and verifying it fixed the issue, I went on a search to find why it did fix. Apparently that function clears the stream buffer. After asking GPT for help, it suggested checking if there was something in the buffer, which I did by placing this line at the start of my controller.

dd(ob_get_contents());

which returned the following in the browser:

"\n" // app/Http/Controllers/FileUpload/GetFileController.php:14

and that is a newline code, which was forgotten in a PHP file right before the <?php starting tag, in my case the localization file

\n #it wasn't visible because it's just a blank line
<?php
    return [
        'locales' => ['en', 'pt'],
    ];

So I just removed it and, it works correctly again.

I've spent a LOT of hours searching for a solution for this, I found it at last! just add ob_end_clean before returning the response, like the following:

ob_end_clean();
        return response()->file($path,['Content-type' => 'image/jpeg']);

I can't explain because I don't know what was going on, any one could explain this?

you can do it like this way

$storagePath = storage_path("app/taskImage/".$filename);

return Image::make($storagePath)->response();
