Looking for Image Upload package

Hi there,

I am just creating my first Laravel Project. My next task is to create an Events Section. When creating an event, I also allow to upload an Image, so I have now created an image table in there I store the filesize, the original name, the folder where it will be stored, the new name, the thumbnail filename and the filetype. I then realised that I will actually use the same table when I program the Gallery which will come next. So all images which are uploaded through the Gallery will be stored in the same table so I will add a column image_location which will either say event or gallery. The Gallery Image will be part of an Album, but the Album names should be stored in a different table and then a 1:n so 1 Album got many Photos. Images uploaded through the Gallery should also have a Thumbnail created and Images should be resized in General obviously with the correct ratio kept. I think I also want to be able to add a possible small text to the image. As a last thing I want to program a Document Upload which could be PDF files for example or a word document. I had a look at any available Packages and found Spatie’s Media Library. I saw the migration file and it will obviously create me a database table called media with fields like model_type, model_id which I find rather confusing in comparison to what I wanted to save so I am not sure if that package is actually of any use for me.

Does anyone know of any package I should maybe use for what I am trying to achieve? The documents I might upload should go into a documents db table I thought, I suppose in Spatie everything goes into the media table which somehow would make sense aswell.

I really not sure what is advisable to do. As I said Events, single Image, Gallery multiple Images with additional text added to each Photo and thumbnails created. Is there any package I should use?

Hope to get some tipps. Thanks all in advance.
