I am trying to upload an image using POSTMAN. I succeed with form-data but not with passing data in raw JSON format.

request through form-data in POSTMAN:

enter image description here

request through curl:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" -F "profile_image=@/home/shivani/Pictures/Wallpapers/8018.jpg" http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/users/1/image/
{"message":"Image Uploaded successfully.","profile_image":"http://res.cloudinary.com/aubergine-solutions/image/upload/v1430204993/w0oxhv6beaxd14twrxmi.jpg"}~

When I send request in raw as:

I get the following error though i have added MultiPartParser in Django settings:

Can anybody help to solve this problem?

When i'm using the image upload, i encoded the image using base64,and that encoded string is passed as json string.In the backend we can decoded the string and make the image.Try this, i think it works.
