Change profile picture in django

I'm trying to make a edit profile module , but it needs to change profile picture too.. I already try some code , but the picture isnt change when I press the submit button

Here's the views.py for update_profile

def update_profile(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        user_form = UserInfoForm(request.POST, instance=request.user )
        profile_form = UserProfileInfoForm(request.POST, instance=request.user.profile)
        if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():            
            user = user_form.save()            
            user.save()
            profile = profile_form.save(commit=False)
            profile.user = user 
            if 'profile_pic' in request.FILES:                
                profile.profile_pic = request.FILES['profile_pic']           
            profile.save()         
            return redirect('/profile/')
        else:
            messages.error(request, ('Please correct the error below.'))
    else:
        user_form = UserInfoForm(instance=request.user)
        profile_form = UserProfileInfoForm(instance=request.user.profile)
    return render(request, 'profile.html', {
        'user_form': user_form,
        'profile_form': profile_form
    })

here's the form

<form role="form" class="form-horizontal" method="post">                          

                          {% load staticfiles %}
                          {% block body_block %}

                                {% if registered %}
                                  <h1>Update Profile Success!</h1>
                                {% else %}    
                                  <form class="cmxform form-horizontal style-form" id="commentForm" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" action="">
                                    {% csrf_token %}        
                                    {{ user_form.as_p }}
                                    {{ profile_form.as_p }}

                                    <input type="submit" name="" value="Update">                          
                                  </form>

                                {% endif %}

                          {% endblock %}                             

                        </form>

urls.py (already add +static[]) from someone suggestion and still not working

app_name = 'polls'
urlpatterns = [
    path('profile/', views.update_profile, name='profile'),        
]+static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

Hope someone can solve the problem, thank you.

You are not passing the file to your form, so add request.FILES as the second parameter to form containing the picture in your view, e.g.

profile_form = UserProfileInfoForm(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=request.user.profile

Add enctype in your HTML form.

<form role="form" class="form-horizontal" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <!-- Your html elements -->
</form>

also provide request.FILES to your form.

profile_form = UserProfileInfoForm(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=request.user.profile)

remove these lines:

if 'profile_pic' in request.FILES:                
    profile.profile_pic = request.FILES['profile_pic']

If you are passing the request.FILES to UserProfileInfoForm then you don't have to directly assign it to the profile.
