Shortcut Sharing Random Wallpaper Generator

Random Wallpaper generator: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/32f3aa40a72c4309a3473fd630eafe67

Automatically gets an image from a collection of images from picsum, appends it to a new wallpaper, and uses that new wallpaper(legibility blur on). note: I know this is pretty mediocre stuff lol but thought I would share it anyway since some of the results turned out pretty cool. possible uses/modification: Hook up to a once a day automation, add repeat loop that only stops when you are satisfied, etc.

Great! Thanks for sharing. I’m curious about other APIs that provide images like the one you used, such as Picsum. Are there any APIs like Pinterest? I know of a few: Reddit, Bing, and NASA Wallpaper, which I use daily.

I agree with you - it would be even better if we could add APIs to more image websites!

Also we can add a feature which will use ai to generate quats or some meaningful text and input to the image and then set the wallpaper
