How to Stitch Screenshots into One Long Image on iPhone

Use Fileso Stitch Images to stack screenshots vertically or horizontally, arrange their order and handle overlapping content.

Fileso’s Stitch Images tool joins several images into one output. You can stack screenshots vertically for a long reference image or place them side by side for a comparison. This is useful when the source app does not provide a full-page capture.

Prepare the screenshots

Choose the images in the order a reader should see them. Remove accidental duplicates and crop unnecessary areas before stitching if they make the result confusing.

This tool joins images; it is not an automatic scroll-capture system. Overlapping text in adjacent screenshots will appear twice unless you crop or otherwise prepare the inputs to remove that overlap.

Join the images in Fileso

  1. Open Tools → Stitch Images.
  2. Add the screenshots and arrange the input list.
  3. Choose Vertical for a top-to-bottom image or Horizontal for a side-by-side image.
  4. Run the tool and inspect the output from beginning to end.
  5. Save or share the combined image after checking its dimensions and readability.

In vertical mode, images are scaled to a common width. In horizontal mode, they are placed at a common height. Mixed-size inputs may therefore be resized as part of the composition.

Keep the final result readable

A very tall image can be difficult to inspect in a messaging thumbnail. Open it full size and check that the text is still legible after the destination app’s own resizing or compression.

If the result is unwieldy, split the material into several shorter images or use a PDF when separate pages are more appropriate. The most compact-looking attachment is not always the easiest one to read.

Review repeated interface elements

Status bars, navigation bars, floating buttons, and keyboards can appear repeatedly when each screenshot includes them. Decide whether those elements provide context or interrupt the reading flow.

Also inspect the joins for a missing line or repeated paragraph. A long image can look continuous while concealing a gap between captures. Keep the original screenshots until you have checked the complete result, particularly when the content includes instructions, transaction details, or another sequence where order matters.
