I am lost. Which package should I use?

1. ImageIntervention
2. Spatie/image

Pls share wisdom.

@bittersweet can you say which works good with Laravel?

@Wombat Spatie.

@bittersweet awesome. Thanks. 😘😘😘

I have experiences with Intervention. 🤔 And satisfy so far although I don't need heavy image manipulation and stuff. Just upload, resize, crop, put watermark.

@cursee Yeah Using Interventention straight is certainly very good as well. Spatie's package is built on top of Glide, which is built on top of Intervention, which uses Imagick/GD.

Spatie is just very good at wrapping it all together into a "Colloquial Laravel" package, and they religiously maintain everything they make.

I would advise to run image operations as much as jobs on a queue as possible though.

@bittersweet thank you very much. I implemented spatie and it worked fine. I'm a happy german coder now.

@bittersweet do you also can suggest a good package for geocoding with Laravel? Using e.g. OpenCage's API.

@Wombat Like spatie/geocoder? 😂

@bittersweet wtf they built one, too? 😂😅. I love spatie!!

@Wombat Note that spatie has 238 public open source repositories, most for Laravel and VueJS.

@bittersweet thanks. They are indeed awesome.
