[Django]-Invalid file when uploading form in Django with a file field

It’s common practice to render same template if form is not valid, to see error messages on the web page, so instead of return HttpResponse(profilePicForm.errors) you shoud do something like this:

if profilePicForm.is_valid():
        return HttpResponse("<h1>Valid</h1>")
        profilePic = ProfilePictures()
        query = UserInfo.objects.filter(id=id)
        for user in query:
            profilePic.user = user
            break
        profilePic.profile_pic = profilePicForm.cleaned_data['profile_pic']
        profilePic.save()
        return redirect('newsfeed:profile')
    else:
        return render(request, 'template.html', {'profilePicForm': profilePicForm})

Also for file uploading you should add to the form enctype="multipart/form-data":

<form action="{% url 'newsfeed:uploadProfilePic' %}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ profilePicForm.as_p }}
    <button type="submit">Upload</button>
</form>
