A media conversion can be added to your model in the `registerMediaConversions`-function. It should start with a call to `addMediaConversion`. From there on you can use any of the methods available in the API. They are all chainable.
Take a look in the [Defining conversions section](/laravel-medialibrary/v9/converting-images/defining-conversions/)
for more details.
## General methods
### addMediaConversion
```php
/*
* Add a conversion.
*/
public function addMediaConversion(string $name): \Spatie\MediaLibrary\Conversions\Conversion
```
### performOnCollections
```php
/*
* Set the collection names on which this conversion must be performed.
*
* @param string $collectionNames,...
*/
public function performOnCollections($collectionNames): self
```
### queued
```php
/*
* Mark this conversion as one that should be queued.
*/
public function queued(): self
```
### nonQueued
```php
/*
* Mark this conversion as one that should not be queued.
*/
public function nonQueued(): self
```
### useLoadingAttributeValue
This is the value that, when this conversation is converted to html, will be used in the `loading` attribute. The loading attribute is a standardised attribute that controls lazy loading behaviour of the browser. Possible values are `lazy`, `eager`, `auto` or null if you don't want to set any loading instruction.
You can learn more on native lazy loading [in this post on css-tricks](https://css-tricks.com/native-lazy-loading/).
## Image manipulations
You may add any call to one of [the manipulation functions](https://docs.spatie.be/image) available on [the spatie/image package](https://github.com/spatie/image).
