This app makes it easy to take long-exposure photos with your iPhone. Capture the passage of time in a single image—from city lights, starry skies, star trails, and fireworks to flowing waterfalls and rivers. Choose from three blending modes to create the look you want. 【Light Trails】 Adds up the light from each frame to draw trails from car headlights and brighten subjects that are too dark to see. Perfect for night scenes and faint auroras that are hard to see with the naked eye. 【Motion Blur】 Averages multiple frames to give waterfalls and rivers a smooth, silky appearance. It can create a slow-shutter effect even in bright conditions and can also make moving people less noticeable. 【Lighten】 Keeps only the brightest parts of each frame, so the background doesn’t wash out even during long exposures. Ideal for fireworks, star trails, and auroras that are clearly visible to the naked eye. 【Create from Video】 Turn videos you’ve already recorded into long-exposure photos. Choose the part of the video to use and blend it with Motion Blur or Lighten. Stabilization is also supported. Key Features ・Exposure times from 1 to 180 seconds, plus Bulb mode that you can stop whenever you choose ・Live preview of the blended image while shooting ・Image stabilization to reduce camera shake without a tripod (up to 3 seconds in the free version) ・Post-capture brightness adjustment from −2.0 to +2.0 EV, with the option to save multiple versions ・Auto and manual focus, plus pinch-to-zoom ・Switch between lenses and front/rear cameras ・3-second and 10-second self-timers ・Grid and level tools for composing your shot ・Shoot using the iPhone volume buttons or a compatible Bluetooth remote shutter ・Selectable image quality and JPG saving ・EXIF metadata including exposure time and ISO Great For ・Cityscapes and illuminated night scenes ・Starry skies and star trails ・Fireworks ・Auroras ・Car and train light trails ・Motion blur in waterfalls, streams, oceans, and clouds ・Making moving people less noticeable in busy locations The free version includes all the essential features you need to enjoy long-exposure photography. The Pro version is available as a one-time purchase and adds manual ISO control, ad removal, noise reduction, unlimited stabilization duration with Bulb mode support, full-resolution saving for photos created from videos (the free version reduces the long side to 2048 px), high-bit-depth 16-bit PNG saving, direct saving without the preview screen, and more. Tips for Better Results For standard long-exposure photography, mount your iPhone on a tripod or place it on a stable surface for sharper results. Image stabilization helps reduce camera shake when shooting without a tripod, but the edges of the resulting photo will be cropped slightly. Results and available lenses may vary depending on your iPhone model and shooting conditions.

Record your scroll. One video — and done. Getting scrolling screenshots right is hard: every shot must overlap the last, and one missed strip ruins the whole stitch. So don't take twenty careful screenshots — take one screen recording. Scroll, add the video, and Seam picks the perfect frames and fuses them into a single tall, seamless image. ONE RECORDING, ONE IMAGE Record your screen while you scroll — fast, slow, with pauses, even a rubber-band bounce. Seam reads the video, finds the frames that matter, and stitches the whole page however long it was. No planning, no overlap-guessing, no retakes. STITCHED FOR YOU Seam finds where your shots overlap and joins them pixel-tight. Repeated navigation bars and toolbars are kept exactly once, where they belong — even translucent ones that trip up other apps. SMART BEYOND STITCHING - Picks the right order even if you selected the shots backwards - Removes duplicated side elements like the A–Z index (others leave two) - Feathers every seam so backgrounds flow smoothly instead of jumping - Flags any seam it is less sure about, so you never ship a bad joint A REAL MANUAL MODE Tap any seam to open the seam editor. The live Difference view turns alignment into something you can see: drag until the ghosting goes black and the joint is pixel-perfect. Result mode shows exactly what you'll export — no surprises. THE IMPOSSIBLE SEAM, SOLVED Some screenshots can never match — a live chart that re-drew between shots, a video mid-play. Choose Cut keeps the full top and the full bottom, and you drag one line to decide exactly where they meet. No other stitcher gives you that. EXPORT AND CLEAN UP Save at full resolution or share anywhere. Once your stitch is safely saved, delete the original screenshots in one tap. SEAM PRO — ONE PURCHASE, FOREVER Screenshot stitching is free — and your first two video imports are on us. Seam Pro unlocks unlimited video imports, removes the small watermark from exports, and includes every future Pro feature. One-time purchase. No subscription. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your iPhone. Your screenshots never leave your device. No account, no ads, no tracking. Screenshots, made whole.
