A Better Shortcut to Combine Multiple Images

Many years ago when Shortcuts was still called Workflow, I created a simple shortcut called ‘Combine Images’ that allowed me to easily merge two images horizontally. I’ve been using this shortcut for a long time now, but it was only earlier this week that my girlfriend made me realize there was a key issue with it that I had to figure out.

You see, the way I designed the original shortcut, multiple images would simply be combined side-by-side, regardless of their size. That meant that if one of the images was smaller than the others, you’d end up with a mix of shorter and taller images in the same file that didn’t look good at all.
