Laravel 12 Image Optimization with Spatie v3 – Resize, Compress & Convert Like a Pro!

🔥 Welcome back, developers! In this advanced Laravel 12 tutorial, we take your image upload workflow to the next level by integrating Spatie/Image v3 for powerful server-side image optimization.

In our previous videos, we built a modern drag & drop image/file uploader using Laravel 12 + React + Inertia, and then implemented client-side image compression using the browser-image-compression library.
Now it’s time to boost performance even more with server-side compression, resizing, and format conversion — all powered by Spatie/Image v3.

🚀 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ How to use Spatie Image v3 in Laravel 12
✅ Automatically resize and compress uploaded images
✅ Convert images to modern formats like WebP
✅ Save optimized images to a separate directory
✅ Preserve original uploads for backups or comparison
✅ Optimize all image types – JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG
✅ Best practices for handling image uploads efficiently

💡 Why This Is Important:
Website performance is key in modern web development. By combining client-side compression and server-side optimization, you can drastically reduce file sizes and boost loading speed — all without compromising image quality.

This video is a must-watch for anyone building file upload systems, media galleries, dashboards, or CMS platforms in Laravel.
