This package can associate all sorts of files with Eloquent models. It provides a simple, fluent API to work with. The [Pro version of the package](https://medialibrary.pro) offers Blade, Vue and React components to handle uploads to the media library and to administer the content of a medialibrary collection.

Here are some quick code examples:

```php
$yourModel = YourModel::find(1);
$yourModel->addMedia($pathToFile)->toMediaCollection('images');
```

It can also directly handle your uploads:

```php
$yourModel->addMediaFromRequest('image')->toMediaCollection('images');
```

Want to store some large files on another filesystem? No problem:

```php
$yourModel->addMedia($smallFile)->toMediaCollection('downloads', 'local');
$yourModel->addMedia($bigFile)->toMediaCollection('downloads', 's3');
```

The storage of the files is handled by [Laravel's Filesystem](http://laravel.com/docs/5.6/filesystem), so you can plug in any compatible filesystem.

The package can also generate derived images such as thumbnails for images, videos and PDFs. Once you've [set up your model](/laravel-medialibrary/v9/basic-usage/preparing-your-model), they're easily accessible:

```php
$yourModel->getMedia('images')->first()->getUrl('thumb');
```

## Are you a visual learner?

We've recorded [a video course](https://spatie.be/videos/discovering-laravel-media-library) on how to use this package. It's the best way to get started using media library
