<input id="image2" name="image2" value="<?php echo $imageFile2;?>" class="file" type="file" accept="image/*">
                                    <div id="uploadImgError2">
                                    </div>
                              </div>

$("#image2").fileinput({
    'showPreview' : true,
    'allowedFileExtensions' : ['jpg', 'png','gif', 'bmp'],
    'showUpload' : false,
    'maxFileCount':1,
    'maxFileSize': 10000000

SCRIPT

function readURL(input) {
        if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
            var reader = new FileReader();

            reader.onload = function (e) {
                $('#image2')
                    .attr('src', e.target.result)
                    .width(150)
                    .height(200);
            };

            reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
        }
    }

You can change the height and width as per you requirement.
