How to Take a Scrolling Screenshot (Full-Page Capture)

Tap a platform to see how it works.

Android

After taking a screenshot, tap "Capture more" (sometimes labeled "Extend") in the notification that appears, and the screen keeps scrolling and stitching the extra content into one image automatically.

iPhone (Safari)

Take a screenshot inside Safari and a "Full Page" tab appears alongside the usual screenshot thumbnail. Tap it to save the entire webpage as one long image or export it as a PDF.

Editing after capture

A scrolling screenshot can be cropped, marked up, or annotated with the same tools you would use on a normal screenshot.

Why it's useful

It saves you from splitting a long chat thread or article into several separate screenshots, since everything you need ends up in a single shareable file.

Save an entire conversation or page in one shot

Instead of taking screenshot after screenshot of a long chat or article and stitching them together yourself, a scrolling capture keeps the whole thing in a single continuous image or PDF, which is far easier to save, search, and share.

Know your device's basic screenshot method too

It helps to know the standard screenshot shortcut for your device as well, since a scrolling capture usually starts from the same button combination or gesture before you choose to extend it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does scrolling capture work in every app?

It works in most browsers and messaging apps, but some apps restrict it for security or privacy reasons, so a handful of banking or streaming apps may block screenshots entirely, scrolling or not.

Can I stop the capture partway through?

Yes, tapping the live capture preview while it's scrolling stops the process and saves only the content captured up to that point.
