Turn a run of screenshots into one clean, continuous image. Continuo is built for those moments when one screenshot just doesn't do the trick. Choose screenshots from Photos or Files, choose the direction they should stack, and let Continuo handle the tedious overlap and alignment work. WHAT CONTINUO DOES • Stitch screenshots vertically or horizontally. • Find nearby screenshots automatically when you do not want to pick them one by one. • Preserve the order you chose and make the final result easy to review. • Export a full-resolution PNG to Photos or Files. • Keep lightweight history on this device by default. • Optionally sync history through your private iCloud Drive across Apple devices using the same Apple Account. • Remove a history stitch from this device while keeping it elsewhere, or delete it everywhere. • Delete original selected Photos items only after you explicitly choose that action following a successful save. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Stitching runs on your device. Continuo does not require an account. Optional history sync uses your private iCloud Drive storage, controlled by Apple's iCloud services and your own settings. CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL OF ASSISTANCE Use deterministic on-device matching, enable Vision-assisted alignment, or choose Foundation Models-assisted hints when Apple's on-device frameworks are available. Continuo keeps deterministic matching authoritative and does not send full-resolution screenshot pixels to a model. Built for iPhone and iPad. For those moments when one screenshot just doesn't do the trick.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Continuo at free against Eight Shot's free with in-app purchases. Continuo also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). Eight Shot's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
