Allowed memory size exhausted when using image service

I'm using the image library to store an image on the server, all works well until I send an image of this dimension: 5184 x 3456
This is the function that I've created to store the image:

PHP Code:

    protected function storeImage(string $path, string $fileName, string $width, string $height)
    {
        $imgServ = \Config\Services::image();

        $ext = pathinfo($fileName, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
        $uploadPath = $path . basename($fileName, ".{$ext}") . "_{$width}x{$height}." . $ext;
        $imgServ
            ->withFile(ROOTPATH . 'public/' . $path . $fileName)
            ->fit(1024, 1024, 'center')
            ->save(ROOTPATH . 'public/' . $uploadPath);

        return $uploadPath;
    } 


than I got:
<br />

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16384 bytes) in <b>/var/www/html/vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system/Images/Handlers/GDHandler.php</b> on line <b>220</b><br />
