Uploading files require a POST method and not a GET.

Consult:

Also make sure the folder you are wanting to upload to, has proper permissions to write to it.

Sidenote edit: Plus, as stated in the other answer, a valid enctype is required.

I'd also use:

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){...}

In order to ensure of a POST method, while using full bracing for your else and adding another else{...} for the above.

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){

    $files=$_FILES['file1']['tmp_name'];
    $folder="images";
    if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['file1']['tmp_name']))
    {
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file1']['tmp_name'], $folder . '/'.$_FILES['file1']['name']);
        $image=$folder . '/'.$_FILES['file1']['name'];
        echo "Successfully Uploaded";
        echo $image;
    } else {
        die("Not Uploaded");
    }

} else{
   echo "A POST method was not used here.";
}

Also a conditional !empty() against your file input.

Change:

<form name="form1" method="GET" action="image.php">

to 

<form name="form1" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="image.php">
