Core features: - Multi-image stitching: Select continuous screenshots and automatically merge overlapping content. - Recording to long image: Extract key frames from a slow scrolling screen recording and generate a long preview. - Fixed area detection: Detect top and bottom fixed regions to reduce repeated navigation bars or input bars. - Local processing: The current version processes imported media on your device and does not require an account. - Save to Photos: Export generated long images directly to your photo library. Great for: - Chat history captures - Web page snippets - Lists, orders, notes, and document sections - Any situation where several scrolling screenshots should become one image Tip: For screen recordings, scroll slowly and steadily. Avoid sudden reverse scrolling or fast jumps for more reliable stitching.
