WHY LONGSHOT
- Back Tap to stitch. A gesture starts the shortcut; a reliable small batch is stitched and saved in the background. Your original screenshots stay in Photos.
- Checked overlap. LongShot verifies how neighboring screenshots connect before automatic stitching. Uncertain matches may need another try or a quick check in the app. Inspect the joins before sharing.
- Your screenshots stay private. Image processing happens on your iPhone. Screenshots are not uploaded. No ads and no LongShot account to create. Apple and RevenueCat process purchase information and entitlement checks; they do not receive your screenshots.
- Original-width PNG. Keep the original pixels in one long image. Share it from the app or save it to Photos.
GOOD FOR
Chat conversations, comment threads, articles, receipts, orders, notes and other scrolling content. Take screenshots yourself; LongShot joins them. It does not record your screen or scroll other apps for you.
PREFER TO OPEN THE APP
LongShot checks recent screenshots and shows a preview when it finds a reliable match. You can also select images yourself. Full Photos Access enables automatic detection; manual selection is available with limited access. Optional source cleanup requires your confirmation in iOS.
Back Tap works best for small batches. Larger tasks, limited photo access, uncertain matches, low device resources or an exhausted allowance may require the app. In-app capacity adapts to available resources, up to 100 screenshots.
