Image upload with queued event

I was doing some research regarding image uploading with queued events, and I come across this topic saying I cannot use queue to upload image.

Stack Overflow

What I want to do is to use Intervention to modify image(resize and change extension) and upload it to S3 with queued events.

If the topic is true what would be the best way to handle this without keeping users waiting for the event to be finished background.
