It depends on how many images do you have, how do you classify them. One of the most popular approaches is to give them unique file names and put in some directory on your server side and store just the file names in the database.

Security wise you can store the pictures in the database .on the other hand, performance wise you can store the pictures in a directory or virtual directory and keep the path at the database

Solution 3

Storing images in database is not useful, unless you are changing them frequently.
Otherwise, they are more complex to manage and you always need to code for them at server side,
so for keeping things simple you should avoid using them.
