create an img folder in public path and :

 $image = file_get_contents("https://logos-download.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Laravel_logo.png");file_put_contents(public_path('img/a.png'), $image);

use File like below

   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;

and then

File::put(public_path(   'ANY FILE YOU WANT'    ));

example:

 File::put( public_path( 'js/a.js'), ' CONTENT ');
