There are various ways available to upload image to server and display images on the webpage. Generally, in a dynamic web application, the uploaded image is stored in a directory of the server and the file name is inserted in the database. Later, the images are retrieved from the server based on the file name stored in the database and display on the web page.

The image can be uploaded directly to the database without storing on the server. But it will increase the database size and web page load time. So, it’s always a good idea to upload images to the server and store file names in the database.
