Use this when obtaining image of image selected from gallery by using imagepicker:

   -(void)saveImageInDirectoryAndStoreInDatabase
   {
     NSArray  *paths        = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory , NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *imgFilePath  = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.png",youruserName];

     NSData *data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(youruserImage) //which is obtained from imagepicker
    [data writeToFile:imgFilePath atomically:YES];
     //query here into database with imageFile(A string) which is[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.png",youruserName];
   }

Similarly when retrieve image use documentDirectory+imageFile.png (which is obtained from database by querying user name with its imageFile) path to set user profile pic
