The good news is you can take a full-page screenshot on your iPhone (or iPad) as well, as long as the device is running iOS 13 (iPadOS 13) or later.
Follow these steps to take a long screenshot on iPhone:
- Navigate to the web page in the Safari app.
- Take a regular screenshot.
- The preview of your screenshot will appear in the lower left-hand corner of your phone screen.
- Tap on the preview. You will be taken to a screen where you can edit the image (crop the screenshot, mark it up, add your signature, etc).
- Notice two options above the image. The default screenshot option is “Screen,” but to the right, you will see a “Full Page” option. You probably have not noticed it before, right?
- To transform your regular screenshot into a full-page screenshot, select “Full Page”. Use the slider on the right side of your screen to navigate the length of your screenshotted web page.
Note: To take a regular screenshot on your iPhone, quickly press the side button + volume up button (if you have Face ID). With Touch ID, press the side/top button + home button.
How to save a long screenshot on your iPhone
As you probably know, when taking a regular screenshot, it is saved to your Photos. The process of saving the full-page screenshot is a bit different.
After you finish editing a full-page iPhone screenshot, tap “Done” in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. Now, you can choose between two options: to delete the screenshot or to save it as a PDF to Files.
If you want to save the full-page screenshot, you have several options. Save the screenshot to a folder in your iCloud Drive or save it on your iPhone. You can even create a new folder to store your full-page screenshot! To do that, just tap on the folder icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen near the “Save” option. It’s that easy.
When you decide where to save your file, tap the Save button, and you are done!
Note: The full-page iPhone screenshots are limited to the Safari app.
