## What it is
A Laravel package that optimizes PNG, JPG, SVG, and GIF images by running them through a chain of installed optimization binaries. It is the Laravel integration of spatie/image-optimizer and includes a facade, container binding, and middleware for automatic optimization.

## Use cases
- optimize images in a laravel app
- compress pngs and jpgs on upload
- reduce image file sizes for faster page loads
- automatically optimize images served via middleware
- shrink svg and gif files in php
- integrate image optimization into laravel media uploads

## When to choose
- you use Laravel and want drop-in image optimization
- you want to leverage system-installed optimizers like pngquant or jpegoptim
- you need automatic optimization of request/response images via middleware

## When to avoid
- you are not using Laravel - use spatie/image-optimizer directly
- you need pure-PHP optimization without external binaries
- you need advanced image manipulation like resizing or cropping - use spatie/image instead

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: image-processing, middleware, developer-tools
- domain: image-processing, web-development, performance
- platform: php
