Long Screenshot iPhone: scroll, record, stitch

There’s no scrolling screenshot on iPhone apps. Record the scroll instead, drop the video here, and get one tall image — an iPhone long screenshot stitched on your device, like Android’s.

Three steps

How to take a long screenshot on iPhone

  1. 01

    Record the scroll

    Open Control Center and tap Screen Recording. After the countdown, open the app and scroll slowly from the top of what you want to capture to the bottom. Tap the red indicator to stop.

    No Screen Recording button? Add it in Settings › Control Center.

  2. 02

    Upload the video here

    Tap “Choose a video” and pick the recording from Photos. Your phone reads the frames, finds where each one overlaps the last, and lines them up.

    Works with the built-in recorder and any other recorder: MP4, MOV (HEVC) or WebM.

  3. 03

    Save the long screenshot

    Check the preview, then tap Save to Photos, or download a PNG, JPG or PDF. Very long scrolls are split into parts so they stay sharp.

    The status bar, app header, tab bar and home indicator appear once — not on every screen.

Scrolling screenshot on iPhone

Android has long screenshots. iPhone apps don’t. A screen recording closes the gap.

An iPhone scrolling screenshot only exists in one place: Safari’s Full Page option, which saves a web page as a PDF. Chats, social feeds, receipts in apps, settings screens and long notes can only be captured one screen at a time.

A screen recording, though, sees everything you scroll past. This tool reads the recording frame by frame, finds exactly how far the content moved between frames, and joins the new part of each frame onto the last — so the long screenshot on iOS looks like one continuous capture, not a pile of screenshots.

Built for real iPhone recordings

Bars appear once

The status bar, app header, tab bar and home indicator stay still while you scroll. They’re detected and kept once at the top and bottom — or cropped away.

Pauses are skipped

Stopped to read? Frames where nothing moved are dropped, and Control Center at the start and end of the recording is ignored.

Stays on your phone

Frame matching and stitching run in a background worker inside your browser. Your recording is never uploaded — the page can’t send data anywhere.

Too tall? Parts or PDF

Very long scrolls are split into full-resolution parts, scaled into one image, or saved as a single PDF — your choice.

Tips for a clean scroll screenshot on iPhone

  • Scroll slowly with one finger.

    Short, steady swipes give every frame plenty of overlap with the next.

  • Don’t tap while recording.

    Taps open things; the tool can only stitch what scrolls.

  • Start at the top, end at the bottom.

    Scrolling back up is fine — repeated content is ignored.

  • Scroll steadily past autoplaying videos.

    Feeds like Instagram are handled, but a video that fills the screen gives the tool nothing still to line up — keep moving past it.

  • Turn off AssistiveTouch first.

    The floating button is painted out where the page is still, but over a playing video it can stay visible.

  • Use the original recording.

    Chat apps re-compress videos; the file in Photos is sharper.

About the tool

Long Screenshot iPhone: one tall image from any scroll

Long Screenshot iPhone is a free tool that turns a screen recording into a long screenshot. Android phones have had a scrolling screenshot button for years; the iPhone still doesn’t, so outside Safari every screenshot stops at the bottom of the screen. Instead of taking ten screenshots and gluing them together, you record the scroll once and this page builds the long screenshot in iPhone apps for you — chats, social feeds, receipts, settings, notes and any other long list.

What is a long screenshot on iPhone?

A long screenshot — also called a scrolling screenshot, an extended screenshot or a rolling screenshot — is a single image that shows more than one screen of content. The only built-in iOS scrolling screenshot is Safari’s Full Page option, which saves a web page as a PDF. For a long page screenshot in iPhone apps, a screen recording is the one thing that sees everything you scroll past, which is why this tool starts from a video.

How the iPhone scrolling screenshot works

When you upload the recording, your browser reads it frame by frame. For every pair of frames it measures exactly how far the content moved and keeps only the new strip. The status bar, the app header, the tab bar and the home indicator stay still while you scroll, so they are detected and kept once instead of repeating on every screen. Paused frames are skipped, Control Center at the start and end is ignored, and the floating AssistiveTouch button can be painted out. The result is a longer screenshot on iPhone that reads like one continuous capture, not a stack of pictures.

Long screenshot in iPhone WhatsApp and other chats

Chats are the most common reason people need an iPhone screenshot scroll. Open the conversation, start Screen Recording and scroll slowly through the messages. The tool keeps the chat header and the typing bar once and stitches the bubbles in between — even over a photo wallpaper that stays still while the messages move. The same works for iMessage, Telegram, Instagram DMs, Messenger and Signal.

Works on iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17

Any iPhone that can make a screen recording can make a long scrolling screenshot in iPhone apps here: iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, iPhone 17 and every model in between, in Safari or Chrome. Newer iOS versions with translucent “glass” headers and floating tab bars are handled too. On an iPad, a Mac or a Windows PC it works the same way — just upload the video there.

Save it the way you need

When the long screenshot is ready, save it to Photos where your browser supports it, download a PNG for the sharpest text, or pick JPG for a smaller file to send. Browsers limit how tall one picture can be — on iPhone about 14,000 pixels for a full-width screenshot — so very long scrolls are split into full-resolution parts, scaled into one image, or saved as a single PDF that’s easy to share. If an app header repeats or something is cut, adjust the top and bottom bars before you save.

Private, free and unlimited

Nothing is uploaded. The recording is processed on your own device in a background worker, and the page’s security policy stops it from sending data anywhere. There’s no account, no watermark and no limit: make as many long screenshots on iOS as you like and save them as PNG, JPG or PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Does iPhone have a scrolling screenshot?

Only partly. When you take a screenshot in Safari, the preview offers a Full Page tab that saves the whole web page as a PDF. That option doesn’t appear in most apps — Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, Settings and most third-party apps only give you one screen at a time. There is no built-in iPhone scrolling screenshot that saves a tall image like Android’s.

This tool fills that gap: record the scroll, upload the video, and it stitches one long image.

Can iPhone take a long screenshot?

Not by itself in most apps. The workaround that works everywhere is a screen recording: record yourself scrolling, then turn the video into one long screenshot here. It works in any app, because the recording captures whatever is on screen.

How do I take a long screenshot in iPhone WhatsApp or Messages?

Start a screen recording from Control Center, open the chat, and scroll slowly through the messages you want. Stop the recording and upload it above. The tool keeps the chat header and the typing bar once and stitches the messages in between into one tall image.

Is my screen recording uploaded anywhere?

No. The video is read by your own browser and never leaves your device. The page’s security policy (connect-src 'none') blocks it from sending data anywhere — you can check this in your browser’s developer tools. See the privacy page.

Which video formats work?

MP4, MOV and WebM. iPhone screen recordings (HEVC/H.265 or H.264) open directly in Safari on iPhone and Mac. On Windows, Chrome and Edge need Microsoft’s free HEVC Video Extensions to read HEVC files; if a file can’t be read, the tool tells you why.

Why is my long screenshot split into parts?

Browsers limit how big a single image can be — on iPhone about 16.7 million pixels, which is roughly 14,000 pixels tall for a full-width iPhone screenshot. Longer scrolls are split into parts at full resolution. You can also choose one image scaled down to fit, or download everything as a single PDF.

The stitched image has a glitch. How do I fix it?

Most glitches come from scrolling very fast, or from a video that fills the whole screen while you scroll. If the result shows a warning with a time range, check the image there; record that part again, scrolling slowly and steadily. If a header repeats or some content is cut, open Crop bars & format and adjust the top or bottom bar height.

Is there an extended screenshot on iPhone for web pages?

Yes, in Safari: take a screenshot, tap the preview, choose Full Page, then save the PDF to Files. It’s good for articles, but it saves a PDF rather than an image and doesn’t work in apps. For an image of anything else, use a screen recording and this tool.

Does it work on Android, iPad or a computer?

Yes. It runs in any modern browser, so you can also upload an iPad recording, or send the video to your Mac or PC and stitch it there. The iPhone is just where a long screenshot is missing the most.

Is it free?

Yes — free, no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many long screenshots you make.
