<input type="file" name="file"><br>
<input type="text" placeholder="Your Name" name="name" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

user insert_attachment of wordpress to save attachment, then you will also have the functionality to get the images with different styles, get_attachment(id, 'full/medium/thumbnail').

$files = $_FILES['upload_attachment'];
foreach ($_FILES as $file => $array) {
  $newupload = insert_attachment($file,null);
  // save the $newupload with you from data, as psot id for the attachment
 }
 function  insert_attachment($file_handler,$post_id,$setthumb='false') {

    // check to make sure its a successful upload
    if ($_FILES[$file_handler]['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) __return_false();

      require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');
      require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/file.php');
      require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/media.php');
      $attach_id = media_handle_upload( $file_handler, $post_id );

   if ($setthumb) update_post_meta($post_id,'_thumbnail_id',$attach_id);
     return $attach_id;
 }

in html , if you submit the form, images will be uploaded and referances will be saved in wp_post table

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   <label for="file">Filename:</label>
   <input type="file" name="upload_attachment[]" id="file"><br>
   <label for="file">Filename:</label>
   <input type="file" name="upload_attachment[]" id="file"><br>
   <label for="file">Filename:</label>
   <input type="file" name="upload_attachment[]" id="file"><br>
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
