You can use the new permission less photo picker by android developer team. Its easy to use and you can get Uris of images, videos or both.
https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/photopicker
Also here is an article with detailed explanation, I think its outdated now as default lib provide all functionality and also provide backward support, but you can get some idea from it.

Try this code to get images and videos from device U can change MediaStore.Video or Image or File

   private ArrayList<imageFolder> getVideoPaths(Context context) {
    ArrayList<imageFolder> VideoFolder = new ArrayList<>();
    ArrayList<String> picPaths = new ArrayList<>();
    Uri allImagesuri = MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
    String[] projection = {MediaStore.Video.VideoColumns.DATA, MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME,
            MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME, MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_ID};
    Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(allImagesuri, projection, null, null, null);
    try {
        if (cursor != null) {
            cursor.moveToFirst();
        }
        do {
            imageFolder folds = new imageFolder();
            String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME));
            String folder = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME));
            String datapath = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA));

            //String folderpaths =  datapath.replace(name,"");
            String folderpaths = datapath.substring(0, datapath.lastIndexOf(folder + "/"));
            folderpaths = folderpaths + folder + "/";
            if (!picPaths.contains(folderpaths)) {
                picPaths.add(folderpaths);

                folds.setPath(folderpaths);
                folds.setFolderName(folder);
                folds.setFirstPic(datapath);
                folds.addpics();
                VideoFolder.add(folds);
            } else {
                for (int i = 0; i < VideoFolder.size(); i++) {
                    if (VideoFolder.get(i).getPath().equals(folderpaths)) {
                        VideoFolder.get(i).setFirstPic(datapath);
                        VideoFolder.get(i).addpics();
                    }
                }
            }
        } while (cursor.moveToNext());
        cursor.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < VideoFolder.size(); i++) {
        Log.d("picture folders", VideoFolder.get(i).getFolderName() + " and path = " + VideoFolder.get(i).getPath() + " " + VideoFolder.get(i).getNumberOfPics());
    }

    //reverse order ArrayList
   /* ArrayList<imageFolder> reverseFolders = new ArrayList<>();

    for(int i = picFolders.size()-1;i > reverseFolders.size()-1;i--){
        reverseFolders.add(picFolders.get(i));
    }*/

    return VideoFolder;
}

In compose you can do that very simple way check below code.

implementation 'androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.6.1'

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
        override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    
            setContent {
                ComposeDemoTheme {
                    var selectedImageUris by remember {
                        mutableStateOf<List<Uri>>(emptyList())
                    }
                    val multiplePhotoPickerLauncher = rememberLauncherForActivityResult(
                        contract = ActivityResultContracts.PickMultipleVisualMedia(),
                        onResult = { uris -> selectedImageUris = uris }
                    )
    
                    LazyColumn(
                        modifier = Modifier
                            .fillMaxSize()
                    ) {
                        item {
                            Row(
                                modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
                                horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.SpaceAround
                            ) {
                                Button(onClick = {
                                    multiplePhotoPickerLauncher.launch(
                                        PickVisualMediaRequest(ActivityResultContracts.PickVisualMedia.ImageAndVideo)
                                    )
                                }) {
                                    Text(text = "Pick media")
                                }
                            }
                        }
                        items(selectedImageUris) { uri ->
    
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

You can use and 3rd party tool for the same. Use this link to get one

This will help you to select multiple images at once and you can get uri for each image and get it uploaded to some server to get their link
