Anything longer than one screen, saved as one clean image. CAPTURE ANY APP BY RECORDING Start a screen recording, scroll through whatever you want to keep, then stop. Long Shot rebuilds the whole thing into a single tall image — chats, feeds, documents, settings, any app at all. STITCH SCREENSHOTS YOU ALREADY HAVE Long Shot scans your photo library, groups consecutive screenshots on its own, finds where they overlap, and joins them seamlessly. You can also pick images by hand, in any order. CAPTURE FULL WEB PAGES Enter a URL to save an entire page from top to bottom. Or use the Safari extension to capture the page you are already reading, without leaving Safari. EDIT BEFORE YOU SAVE • Remove repeated status bars and scroll indicators • Redact private details by swiping over them • Fine-tune any seam if the alignment is not perfect • Trim the top and bottom • Split a very long image into segments EXPORT THE WAY YOU NEED PNG, JPEG or HEIC · PDF · Copy to clipboard · Save to Photos · Built-in album with optional iCloud sync PROCESSED ON YOUR DEVICE Stitching runs entirely on your iPhone. Your screenshots are not uploaded to any server. If you turn on iCloud Sync, images sync only through your own iCloud account. FREE AND PAID Stitching screenshots from your photo library is free. Scrolling Capture, Web Snapshot and the Safari extension unlock with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, and it works on all your devices. Support: https://perry-lee.github.io/support/

An app for hiding the one part of a photo you did not mean to share. Open it, pick a photo, drag over what should be gone, save. No tutorial, no account, no sign-up. ■ Straight from the Share button Open a photo from the Share button in Photos or on a screenshot and mask it right there — no need to find the app first. ■ Four ways to hide ・Pixel — the familiar square mosaic ・Blur — when it should blend into the photo ・Glass — like looking through frosted glass, not just a soft focus ・Black — when it has to be gone for certain A slider sets how strong it is, and the photo updates as you drag. ■ Five shapes ・Brush — hide whatever your finger covers, at any width ・Rectangle — names, addresses, email, QR codes ・Vertical bar — details stacked down the screen ・Horizontal bar — eyes, or a single line of text ・Circle — faces, without a hard edge Rectangles and circles can be moved, resized or deleted afterwards. ■ Hide every face at once Tap Hide Faces and the app finds the faces in the photo and covers them together. Detection runs entirely on your device. Anything it gets wrong, you can tap and delete. ■ Nothing is final Undo and redo are always there, and the eraser brings back anything you covered too much of. ■ What it costs Every tool is free to use. Saving and sending are free for your first five photos. If you want more, a single purchase removes the limit for good. There is no subscription. ■ Your photos stay on your phone ・Your photos are never sent to a server ・No account ・No uploads ・All editing happens on the device ■ Location data does not travel with it Masking a photo and then sharing the place it was taken defeats the point. Saved photos have their GPS tag and other metadata stripped by default — you can turn that off in Settings. Your original photo is never modified. The masked version is always saved as a new photo. ■ What this app does not do No filters, brightness, cropping, stickers, text, collage or beauty tools. It is not a photo editor. It is a tool for hiding things. For iPhone and iPad, iOS 18 or later.
