You can use ContentFile for this.

from django.core.files.base import ContentFile
f = open(file_path, 'r')
object.image.save('image.jpg', ContentFile(f.read()))

@AshMGM Django append a random string in filename to ignore the duplicate file issue. – SHIVAM JINDAL May 08 '18 at 16:52
Theres a way to only store the file in the database but not in my filesystem ? – AshMGM May 18 '18 at 20:33
