## What it is
A PHP library for manipulating images with an expressive, fluent API, supporting drivers like Imagick and GD. It provides operations such as resizing, fitting, cropping, rotating, applying filters (greyscale, sepia, blur), and format conversion.

## Use cases
- resize images in php
- convert jpg to png with php
- crop and fit images without distorting aspect ratio
- apply filters like greyscale or sepia to images
- compress images by lowering quality
- rotate and sharpen photos programmatically

## When to choose
- you need simple, expressive image manipulation in a PHP project
- you want a driver-agnostic API that works with both Imagick and GD
- you use Laravel Media Library or other Spatie packages that depend on it

## When to avoid
- you need advanced computer vision or AI-based image analysis
- you are not working in PHP
- you need a full-featured image editing application rather than a library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: image-processing
- domain: image-processing, web-development
- platform: php
- tags: imagick, gd, fluent-api, image-manipulation, spatie
