How to overlay images on iPhone

While the shortcut setup is a little fiddly, especially if you’ve not used the Shortcuts app before, it’s pretty foolproof, and once done you can overlay images to your heart's content ❤️

You have to go at a slower pace with this type of video. You’re speaking too fast. Unfortunately, because this is such a good set of instructions. Step 6 needs the most slowing down. I can tell you all this technique works. You just have to slow down the video because the instructor speaks far too quickly.

What he is not explaining is the last bit… go to your short cuts menu and select the overlay shortcut or whatever you named it… select the photos and the overlay app at the end pops up👍

[@smk34236]

You are absolutely correct. This is the step he missed explaining. Once I read your comment, it became very clear (of course after setting up the shortcut properly which I had to do over and over to finally get it right). Thanks so much!

[@michellewells3348]

After all that I don’t under stand how to over lay the image. Any help?

[@hellergang]

What an impossible set of instructions. I couldn't do it! April 3. iOS 17.3.1. iPhone 13 Pro

[@stiingxx4633]

Just follow along… I did it in less than 5 min

[@comment_deleted]

@@stiingxx4633 this video stops being relevant as soon as I add the first select photos action. I don't get the option for select variable on overlay image. A blue bar doesn't appear after I add overlay image.

[@comment_deleted]

After 45 min of messing with this, I finally got it to show up in the share menu only to get this message "No overlay image make sure to choose a variable in the overlay image action" I did all the steps and re did them, then did them again. even went step by step on the written instructions

[@lueri5659]

What if you accidentally get off the page where you deselect 18 images selections? I can’t find way to get back to that

[@cristinaalmeida3175]

after one hour, very few of the options presented showed up on my phone!

[@liambrennan2605]

Didn’t work for me finally got all the steps after trying several times can’t find the images to overlay and lift from back ground no idea

[@StevenDonoso-hr1gn]

Thank the effing maker for this short concise explanation for how to do one of the simplest photo edits in all of history. Truly! Thank you!

[@ArifLive98]

Thanks a lot it works🙏🏻

When I clicked on the Image on step 6, the Photos filled both the Image and the second one. I clicked on the second one and there was no option to select variable. So while clicked on the second one, which was also filled with Photos, I clicked clear variable. Which gave me another ‘image’, and I filled that one with the second photos action. Not pressed continue but managed to do that instead.

[@haribulsara3821]

It worked

[@milpeg9526]

I'm stuck on step 6 through the end. Are there any missing steps?

[@techradar]

It’s extremely complex how-to! Maybe try our written version, some people find it easier - www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-overlay-images-on-iphone#section-tools-and-requirements ! Let us know if you need any help ❤

[@stiingxx4633]

Take my upvote :D thanks!

[@edanyc3444]

The part he's not explaining much is that you need to use an image editor. Any 3rd party app you can paste your image after you copy it from your photo gallery.

[@stiingxx4633]

No you don’t. I didn’t have to install anything

[@aworldmaster8530]

Could be slower for not english speakers

[@Stef-dy1ws]

It’s to fast. 😢

[@Thatovothatxo]

This dude shouldn’t be a instructor

[@ankitmehrotraindia]

Slow down, brother

[@aworldmaster8530]

Step 9 is really bad

[@pennytravers5991]

This was a terrible tutorial. Are you assuming all your viewers know how to do this process already? You speak too quick and you are not clear.

[@alexmaschino3400]

this tutorial is horrible
