Mass image upload for WordPress?

Hi, I have almost 3000 pics in my folder that I want to upload to my personal WordPress blog website. I want to be turn each individual image into one blog post for each image. So basically I want to make 3000 blog posts, and every single one will be an individual blog post on my WordPress website. Any plugins to help me do this en mass/in bulk, so I don’t have to manually create 3000 separate blog posts by hand? I need it to also pre-assign under which category each of those blog posts will be published under. If there is a way to do this without having to go through a plugin, please do tell me.
