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, a scrollable screenshot, a scrollshot, an extended screenshot, a rolling screenshot or a scrolling screen capture — 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.

Can iPhone take a long screenshot?

Only partly. There is a long screenshot in iPhone Safari: take a screenshot, tap the preview and choose Full Page — it saves the web page as a PDF. In apps like Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram or Settings an iPhone screenshot can’t go long; you only get one screen at a time.

So yes, you can take a long screenshot on iPhone in any app — with a screen recording and this free tool, which stitches the scroll into one image.

How to take a scrolling screenshot on iPhone?

An iPhone has no scrolling screenshot button like Android. Record the screen while you scroll instead, then upload the video here — the tool finds how far the page moved between frames and builds one long scroll screenshot. Scroll slowly and steadily for the cleanest result. It also works for a longer screenshot on iPhone than one screen when you only need two or three screens.

How do I screenshot a long page or a full page on iPhone?

For a web page in Safari, take a screenshot, tap the preview in the corner, choose Full Page and save the PDF to Files. That is the built-in way to screenshot a full page on iPhone, but it saves a PDF, not an image, and only works for web pages.

For a long page in an app — a chat, a feed, settings or notes — use a screen recording and this tool to get the whole page as one image. More in the guide to screenshot a whole page on iPhone.

How do I take a full-length or scrolling screenshot on any phone?

On Android, take a screenshot and tap Capture more or Scroll capture. On iPhone, Safari’s Full Page option covers web pages; for everything else, record the scroll and stitch it here. The same video method works on iPad, and on a Mac or PC you can upload any screen recording to get a full-length screenshot — see how to take a long screenshot on Mac.

How to take a long screenshot on iPhone 16 or iPhone 17?

The steps are the same on iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 as on iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15: open Control Center, start Screen Recording, scroll, stop, and upload the video here. Newer iOS versions with translucent “glass” headers and floating tab bars are supported — the bars are kept once instead of repeating.

How to screenshot a long text message on iPhone?

Open the conversation in Messages, start a screen recording, and scroll slowly through the text messages you want. Stop the recording and upload it here. The contact’s name at the top and the typing bar at the bottom appear once, and every message bubble in between is stitched into one long screenshot.

How to take a long screenshot in WhatsApp on iPhone?

WhatsApp on iPhone can’t take a scrolling screenshot by itself. Open the chat, start Screen Recording from Control Center, scroll through the messages, then stop and upload the video. The tool keeps the chat header and typing bar once and stitches the messages — even over a photo wallpaper, which stays still while the bubbles move.

How to take a long screenshot of Instagram on iPhone?

Record the screen while you scroll the post, comments, profile or DMs, then upload the recording here. Autoplaying videos in the feed are handled: keep scrolling past them, because a video that fills the whole screen leaves nothing still to line up. Instagram doesn’t notify people about screen recordings of normal chats; disappearing (vanish mode) messages are the exception.

How to take a long screenshot in Messenger, Telegram or Snapchat on iPhone?

It works the same in every app: screen record while you scroll, then upload the video here to get one long screenshot. Messenger and Telegram chats stitch just like WhatsApp. Snapchat notifies the other person when you screen record a chat, so keep that in mind before recording there.

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.

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.
