how to add an image programmatically from any url in Magento 2?

Question

I try this code but if the image doesn't exist in this path pub/media/catalog/product; it doesn't work. I want to add an image from any url; any ideas for that ?

 for ($i = 0; $i < count($productIds); $i++) {
 $productObj->load($productIds[$i]);
 //$productObj->addImageToMediaGallery('catalog/product/l/t/lt01.jpg', array('image', 'small_image', 'thumbnail'), false, false);
 $productObj->addImageToMediaGallery('catalog/product/'.$data['image'], array('image', 'small_image', 'thumbnail'), false, false);
 $productObj->save();
 }

I assume that you’ve already registered your extension like VendorName_ExtensionName and it is located in the app/code/VendorName/ExtensionName. The code of the service:

<?php
/**
 * file location:
 * app/code/VendorName/ExtensionName/Service/ImportImageService.php
 */
namespace VendorName\ExtensionName\Service;
use Magento\Catalog\Model\Product;
use Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList;
use Magento\Framework\Filesystem\Io\File;
/**
 * Class ImportImageService
 * assign images to products by image URL
 */
class ImportImageService
{
 /**
 * Directory List
 *
 * @var DirectoryList
 */
 protected $directoryList;
 /**
 * File interface
 *
 * @var File
 */
 protected $file;
 /**
 * ImportImageService constructor
 *
 * @param DirectoryList $directoryList
 * @param File $file
 */
 public function __construct(
 DirectoryList $directoryList,
 File $file
 ) {
 $this->directoryList = $directoryList;
 $this->file = $file;
 }
 /**
 * Main service executor
 *
 * @param Product $product
 * @param string $imageUrl
 * @param array $imageType
 * @param bool $visible
 *
 * @return bool
 */
 public function execute($product, $imageUrl, $visible = false, $imageType = [])
 {
 /** @var string $tmpDir */
 $tmpDir = $this->getMediaDirTmpDir();
 /** create folder if it is not exists */
 $this->file->checkAndCreateFolder($tmpDir);
 /** @var string $newFileName */
 $newFileName = $tmpDir . baseName($imageUrl);
 /** read file from URL and copy it to the new destination */
 $result = $this->file->read($imageUrl, $newFileName);
 if ($result) {
 /** add saved file to the $product gallery */
 $product->addImageToMediaGallery($newFileName, $imageType, true, $visible);
 }
 return $result;
 }
 /**
 * Media directory name for the temporary file storage
 * pub/media/tmp
 *
 * @return string
 */
 protected function getMediaDirTmpDir()
 {
 return $this->directoryList->getPath(DirectoryList::MEDIA) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'tmp' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
 }
}

Use it like this:

...
use VendorName\ExtensionName\Service;
...
/**
* @var \VendorName\ExtensionName\Service\ImportImageService
*/
protected $importimageservice;
...
public function __construct(
\Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context $context,
\VendorName\ExtensionName\Service\ImportImageService $importimageservice
) {
$this->importimageservice = $importimageservice;
parent::__construct($context);
}
...
$imagePath = "http://test.img.png"; // path of the image
$this->importimageservice->execute($product, $imagePath, $visible = true, $imageType = ['image', 'small_image', 'thumbnail']);
