route

route::get('/account', [ 'uses' => 'usercontroller@getaccount', 'as'   => 'account' ]);  route::post('/upateaccount', [ 'uses' => 'usercontroller@postsaveaccount', 'as'   => 'account.save' ]);  route::get('/userimage', [  'uses' => 'usercontroller@getuserimage', 'as'   => 'account.image' ]); 

view

 <img src="{{ route('account.image')}}">

i recommend use 1 extension store uploaded images

to encode of possible image extensions 1 extension, can use intervention image

you can change extension of of uploaded images using...

image::make($request->file('image')->getrealpath())->encode('jpg'); 

you can change jpg extensions well
