How to Resize an Image in Tinymce and save it to path

I am getting HTTP error 500 when i try to upload image in tinymce becuase i want to resize it before saving it

$fileName=$request->file('file')->getClientOriginalName();
        $path = $request->file('file')->storeAs('uploads', $fileName, 'public');
        $image = Image::make($path)->resize(400,400);
        Log::debug($path);
        Log::debug($image);

How can i go about it
