Upload profile images of users

I have a "portal" with users (about 1000 users), which are stored in "users" table in sql database. I would like to create and image upload engine, where user can upload own profile photo. How can I do that? I need to

create a form with mimetype and file input
besafe that uploaded file is image in .jpg or .png
there will be no resizing and no cropping, just take an image and save it as it is
Is possible to save that files to public/ folder?
And I need to update a row in "user_profiles" table, to be able to reuse the image everywhere

Is here any really simple way how to do it?

The docs actually has a section on uploading:

https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/filesystem#file-uploads

And you can just update the row with image name. And you can retrieve the image with the asset helper:

<img src="{{ asset('assets/upload/imgdogs') . '/' . $row->dogpic }}" alt="" class="image">

Just example, change to your asset url as needed.
