If one user uploads a image I will save it in database and for other users that image should be displayed – harish chava Oct 05 '17 at 17:08

Displaying an image on a web page inevitably downloads it. – Filburt Oct 05 '17 at 17:23

You can save it as base64 image. Base64 images is represented as string. So you can easily save and retrieve it. You will encode(in front-end) and save images as string. When you retrieve it to your front-end, you will decode and display it.

I have encoded the image using Java **mime encoder**, But while decoding the Base64 string the image is being downloaded, any help? – harish chava Oct 05 '17 at 18:05

What are you using for frontend? you should pass encoded image as string to frontend and decode the string there. – barbakini Oct 05 '17 at 18:17
