Suppose you want to upload an image to the server or send that image to the server. First you to convert your image to NSData then you can send an image the server.If you will get the status code = 200 uploaded successfully else not uploaded. For converting your image to NSData.

NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(yourImage, 1.0);

1	NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(yourImage, 1.0);

For Uploading Image

 NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:imageSendUrl]];
    [request setCachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData];
    [request setHTTPShouldHandleCookies:NO];
    [request setTimeoutInterval:60];
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    
    NSString *boundary = @"unique-consistent-string";
    NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@", boundary];
    [request setValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];
    
    // post body
    NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
    NSString *screenWidth = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", SCREEN_WIDTH];
    // add params (all params are strings)
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=%@\r\n\r\n", @"customerId"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\r\n", customerId] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\r\n", screenWidth] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    
    //imageData is the nsData 
    
    // add image data
    if (imageData) {

        [body appendData:imageData];
