# How to take a long screenshot on iPhone and iPad

iPhone can only save a full-page screenshot of a web page, as a PDF, from Safari and a few other apps. To take a long (scrolling) screenshot of a chat or any other app, or to get a PNG or JPG, use a long screenshot app: FullPage stitches a scrolling screen recording or overlapping screenshots into one image, and captures a whole web page from its link.

- One image instead of a dozen screenshots
- Works in chats and any app, not just Safari
- PNG, JPG or PDF, free to start

## How to take a long screenshot of any app on iPhone or iPad
1. **Pick your way in.** A web page: share its link to FullPage. Any app: screen-record while you scroll, or take overlapping screenshots.
2. **Open it in FullPage.** Share the link or screenshots from Safari or Photos, or tap Videos or Photos in the app.
3. **Let FullPage stitch.** It matches the overlap, keeps the status bar once and joins everything into one seamless image.
4. **Check and trim.** Tap any join to adjust it, cut out what you do not need, or cover private details.
5. **Save.** Export one long PNG, JPG or PDF to Photos or Files.

## Every way to take a long screenshot on iPhone, compared
Here is what each method gives you, from the built-in options to a dedicated app.

| Method | Works in | You get | Limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safari Full Page (built in) | Safari and a few other apps | A PDF in Files | No image, no chats or most apps, ads and pop-ups included |
| Several normal screenshots (built in) | Any app | Many separate images | Nothing joins them; the reader has to piece them together |
| Screen recording (built in) | Any app | A video | Not an image; hard to read, mark up or print |
| FullPage | Any app, plus web links | One long PNG, JPG or PDF | Free up to 10 screenshots per stitch; Pro removes the limit |

## How to use Safari’s built-in Full Page option
Take a screenshot while a web page is open in Safari, tap the preview, choose Full Page, and save it as a PDF to Files. It is quick for a web page you only need as a PDF. It does not remove ads or pop-ups and it cannot save a PNG or JPG.

## How to take a scrolling screenshot of a chat or any app
iOS has no scrolling screenshot for apps. Record your screen while you scroll, then open the video in FullPage, or take screenshots that overlap by about a quarter of the screen and stitch them. FullPage turns either into one long image.

## Is it the same on iPad?
Yes. Every method above works the same way on iPad, and FullPage runs on both iPhone and iPad with iOS 18.0 or later.
