LongShot takes long screenshots the easy way. Instead of many separate screenshots, capture a whole scrolling screen as ONE full-length image.

Just scroll and LongShot stitches every frame together — a chat thread, an article, a web page, a social feed or a receipt becomes one long screenshot, ready to save, edit and share.

WHY LONGSHOT

• No accessibility service — Most long screenshot and scrolling screenshot apps require the Accessibility permission, which can read every screen you open. LongShot never asks for it. It uses Android's standard screen capture, which you approve once per session. The trade is honest: LongShot cannot scroll for you — your thumb does that.

• No internet permission, and you can check it — "we don't upload anything" is a sentence any app can write. This one removes the INTERNET permission entirely, so Android itself refuses to open a connection. No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no ads. Fully offline.

• No length limit — The image is written to storage band by band instead of being held whole in memory, so length is bounded only by your free space.

• Full editor — Brush, highlighter, rectangle, oval, arrow, line, text and a hide tool that blacks an area out — the covered pixels are gone from the saved file, not scrambled. Pixelate sits beside it if you prefer to show something was removed. Undo/redo, a draw lock so panning a tall image does not turn a stroke into a drag, and crop.

• One-tap hide personal data — On-device text recognition finds email addresses, phone numbers, card numbers, IBANs, MAC addresses, crypto wallet addresses and access keys, and covers them with a solid fill, not a mosaic, because pixelation is reversible. Card numbers must pass the Luhn check and IBANs mod-97, so an order number is not mistaken for a card. Everything runs on your device.

• Export as PNG or multi-page PDF, share it, or save a copy to Google Drive or any folder through Android's file picker. The Drive app does the upload, so LongShot still has no internet permission.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Grant "display over other apps" once.
2. Tap Start, then scroll the screen you want — steadily.
3. The frames auto-stitch into one long image, and the editor opens on it.

GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU INSTALL

We would rather tell you than have you find out:

• Text tools (Copy text, Hide personal data) read Latin script only — Arabic and other non-Latin text is not recognised. Use the hide tool by hand for those.
• Hard flicks can outrun the capture and skip a stretch; the floating bar warns "Lost the page" so you can scroll back. A steady scroll captures every row.
• Playing video is the hardest thing to capture and can leave a seam in its own area. Pausing it first gives the cleanest result. While you capture, the floating bar shows a pause mark whenever it sees movement.
• Afterwards the app tells you if a flick or video left the capture incomplete.
• Apps that block screenshots (banking, DRM video) come out black — that is Android, not the app.
• Capture stops and saves what it has below about 120 MB free.
• If Android closes LongShot mid-capture, what it had saved can be recovered the next time you open the app.

PERFECT FOR

• Saving a full chat or conversation
• Capturing an entire web page or long article
• Long social media feeds and profiles
• Receipts, invoices, statements and order confirmations

COMMON QUESTIONS

How do I take a scrolling screenshot on Android?
Many phones have it built in — Samsung calls it Scroll capture, Xiaomi Scroll, OnePlus Expanded screenshot, Oppo and Vivo Long screenshot. It only works when the app hands over its scrollable content, and many chat apps, feeds and games do not, so the option is missing or greyed out. LongShot captures the screen itself, so it does not need the app's help.

How do I screenshot a whole WhatsApp chat?
Open it and scroll steadily. You get one tall image instead of seven screenshots.
