Why do you need to save images into the database? Best way to do: Though File System comes with some cost and certain cons, A good Internal Folder Structure and choosing a folder location which may be a little difficult to access by others.Akash Joshi– Akash Joshi2020-10-13 12:29:09 +00:00Commented Oct 13, 2020 at 12:29

This is not a good idea to store an image in DB instead media folder. But you can use BinaryField for this:
model.py
class MyModel(model.Model):
image = models.BinaryField(blank=True)
view.py
def image(request):
image_file = request.FILES['image_file'].file.read()
MyModel.objects.create(image=image_file)

It is not possible to store the image itself in a database. You need to convert it to binary and store. You can use BytesIO. Here is a link which similar question explaining how to use it
