There are times when you need to combine or join two images side by side for sharing on social media<\/a> or for comparison. You don\u2019t need an app<\/a> to do this. Here\u2019s how to combine images on your iPhone or iPad using Shortcuts.<\/p>\n

Shortcuts is a built-in automation tool on your iPhone and iPad. It allows you to create automations by stitching together a series<\/a> of actions. These can be simple or complex (You can even create shortcuts that use variables.).<\/p>\n

But you don\u2019t need to worry about all of that, because you can easily import and use third-party shortcuts that have been created by the community.\u00a0Think of it as installing a plugin in an app or an extension in a browser.<\/p>\n

\u201cCombine Images\u201d is one such community shortcut that you can download from the internet. It allows you to combine images from the Photos app horizontally or vertically, or even as a grid. What\u2019s cool about this shortcut is that it lets you define the order of images as well as the spacing between them.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to using Shortcuts, you\u2019ll have to first enable the Untrusted Shortcuts feature from the \u201cSettings\u201d app.<\/p>\n

Now, open the Combine Images shortcut page<\/a> in your iPhone or iPad\u2019s mobile browser and tap the \u201cGet Shortcut\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

This will open the Shortcuts app. You\u2019ll see a detailed view of the Combine Images shortcut. Here, scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap the \u201cAdd Untrusted Shortcut\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, go to the \u201cMy Shortcuts\u201d tab in the \u201cShortcuts\u201d app.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tap the \u201cCombine Images\u201d shortcut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First, the shortcut will need access to your photo library. From the popup, tap the \u201cOK\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be asked to select the photos that you want to combine. You can switch to the album view or search for photos as well. Select the photos that you want to combine and tap the \u201cAdd\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The shortcut will now ask you for the order. You can choose between the \u201cChronological\u201d or \u201cReverse Chronological\u201d options. The Chronological order will combine images starting with the oldest image. The Reverse Chronological order will start with the latest image first.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Next, enter the spacing between the images (if needed). Then, tap the \u201cDone\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select how you want to combine the images. You can choose between the horizontal, vertical, or grid options. For this example, we are going with the \u201cCombine Images Horizontally\u201d option.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The shortcut will do its thing, and you\u2019ll see the resulting image on the screen. If you\u2019re satisfied with it, tap the \u201cDone\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You will be asked if you want to save the image to the Photos app. Here, tap the \u201cSave to Camera Roll\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Open the \u201cPhotos\u201d app and go to the \u201cRecents\u201d album to find the newly saved, combined image.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s it, your combined image is ready. You can use the shortcut to combine more images.<\/p>\n\n

Normally, you have to use the Shortcuts app to launch a shortcut. But did you know that you can launch shortcuts simply by tapping the back of your iPhone?<\/p>\n
