It processes files in configurable chunks (64KB default) to avoid PHP memory limits, making it suitable for encrypting large files like medical records, financial documents, and database backups. The package includes features like progress callbacks, key rotation support, Artisan commands, and streaming capabilities for handling multi-gigabyte files without loading them entirely into memory. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
