So, open MultipleImageUpload.php, which is located inside app/http/Livewire directory and add the following code into it:

use App\Models\Image;

class MultipleImageUpload extends Component
{
    use WithFileUploads;

    public $images = [];

    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.home');
    }

    public function store()
    {
        $this->validate([
            'images.*' => 'image|max:1024', // 1MB Max
        ]);

        foreach ($this->images as $key => $image) {
            $this->images[$key] = $image->store('images','public');
        }

        $this->images = json_encode($this->images);

        Image::create(['title' => $this->images]);

        session()->flash('message', 'Images has been successfully Uploaded.');

        return redirect()->to('/livewire-multiple-image-upload');
    }
}

Next, open multiple-image-upload.blade.php, which is located inside resources/views/livewire/ directory and add the following code into it:

<div>
    <form>
        <div class=" add-input">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-12">
                    <div class="form-group">

                        @error('image.*') <span class="text-danger error">{{ $message }}</span>@enderror
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-12 text-center">
                    <button class="btn text-white btn-success" wire:click.prevent="store">Save</button>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </form>
</div>

Step 7 – Create Blade View

Go to resources/views/livewire directory and create home.blade.php. Then add the following code into it:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
