A Laravel package that associates files of any type with Eloquent models via a fluent API. It handles uploads, stores media on any Laravel filesystem (local, S3, etc.), and generates derived images like thumbnails and responsive images for images, videos, and PDFs.

Use cases

• attach uploaded images to eloquent models in laravel
• generate thumbnails for model media
• store user uploads on s3 instead of local disk
• manage media collections per model
• create responsive images for a laravel app
• handle file uploads from http requests in laravel
• associate pdfs and videos with database records

When to choose

• you use Laravel/Eloquent and need model-attached file management
• you need multi-filesystem storage (local, S3) for media
• you want automatic thumbnail and responsive image generation

When to avoid

• you are not using Laravel or Eloquent
• you need a standalone media CMS rather than a code library
• you need a ready-made upload UI without the paid Pro version
