you have to send it to your backend like a "normal" form!

then you have to grab the content of the POST and store it wherever you want.

NOTE: you properly have to discover the file extension serversides, rename the file and map the original filename to the new (unique) filename somehow in your database.

    // ##  simplyfied Laravel example ## //

    // method to be called from form action
    public function storeImage() {
        // check if data is submitted properly
        if($image = request()->image){
            // store image in the uploads directory with the name of 'image.jpg'
            Storage::disk('public')->putFileAs('uploads', new File($image), 'image.jpg');
        } 
        // return redirect after upload is complete
        return redirect()->back();
    }
