I want to imread multiple selected files via uigetfile

file=uigetfile('*.*', 'select a single file at a time', 'download', 'MultiSelect','on');

image=string(file);

imagea = imread(file(1)); % It is impossible to convert from cell format to string format to use imread.

imageb = imread(file(2));

This assumes that the images are all simple I/RGB images (not indexed images, no RGBA images or multiframe GIFs)

[fname dirname] = uigetfile('*.*', 'select a single file at a time', 'download', 'MultiSelect','on');

nfiles = numel(fname);
pileofimages = cell(nfiles,1);
for f = 1:nfiles
    pileofimages{f} = imread(fullfile(dirname,fname{f}));
end

The images are stored in the cell array 'pileofimages' to avoid creating a drift of dynamically named variables and all the problems that entails.
