Overlay Contact Information on Wallpaper
•
A while ago Katie Floyd put out a call on Twitter looking for a replacement app which can overlay contact information onto your wallpaper for iOS. I thought “I bet you can do this with Workflow”, and I was right! Here’s how it works.
Steps:
-
Text
: This contains your name. -
Text
: This contains your phone number, advice: Don't use the number of your iPhone, use that of a trusted family member or friend, or your home phone if you have one. -
Text
: HTML formatting of the above two items, your name is set to be smaller than the phone number as it's likely to be longer and not quite as important. -
Make Rich Text from HTML
: Now we make that HTML into rich Text - applying the formatting. -
Make PDF
: Bear with me, PDFs are great! -
Convert Image
: PDFs can be converted to images - voila! We now have a white image with black text. -
Crop Image
: Let's make this approximately the same aspect ratio as an iPhone X screen. -
Resize Image
: Shrink it down to be about the right size -
Set Variable
: Make it easy to access in a moment. -
Select Photos
: Choose your background. -
Mask Image
: Here's the magic. The mask image action is like a very smart overlay, here it will make sure the text of your name and contact number shows up on the wallpaper, and nothing else. -
Quick Look
: Check it for prettiness. -
Share
: Save it where you want!
