How to compress uploaded images on a website?

Question

Image optimization

The bottom line is this: there is a website, the back works on Laravel (PHP), the front on React.js. Users on the site can upload photos. They must be a certain size after loading (290px by 175px). How can I optimize a photo on upload or after upload on the server side?

If a user uploads a 1920x800 photo, then it should be compressed to the required 290x175, taking into account the aspect ratio and a slight deterioration in quality, and given to the front in the future in such a compressed form. The most common formats are jpeg, png.

What can be done to implement this? As far as I know, JS is not capable of pinching on the front side. Or am I wrong?

PS If someone worked with the Intervention Image (Laravel) library, then write how it is? Does it work well?
