On a supported Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO phone, a full-page capture is called a scrolling screenshot or long screenshot. Take a normal screenshot, tap Scroll on its preview, stop at the required endpoint, tap DONE, and tap the ✓ save control. The result is one tall image containing content below the original screen.

How do I take a full-page screenshot on a Xiaomi phone?

Use this sequence for a web page, long message, document, or other vertically scrolling screen:

  1. Open the content and position it at the point where the capture should begin.
  2. Take a regular screenshot. You can swipe down from the upper-right to open Control Center and tap Screenshot, press Volume down + Power together if that shortcut is enabled, or use the configured three-finger gesture.
  3. When the screenshot preview appears, tap Scroll. The phone will extend the capture downward. If there is no content below the current viewport, this control may not be offered.
  4. Allow the page to move automatically, or adjust the scrolling position manually. Stop when the image reaches the final content you need.
  5. Tap DONE, then tap the ✓ control to save the long screenshot.

Xiaomi describes this as a way to “save the content in one long screenshot.” The exact button placement can vary between MIUI and HyperOS builds, but the workflow is substantially the same.

Ways to start the normal screenshot

Control Center

Swipe down from the upper-right corner, tap Screenshot, and immediately use Scroll in the preview. This is the clearest method on recent Xiaomi and Redmi phones, and is also documented for devices such as the REDMI Note 14 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro.

Power and volume buttons

Press Volume down + Power at the same time and release quickly. If nothing happens, the shortcut may be disabled, reassigned, or unavailable on your build; use Control Center or enable a gesture instead.

Three-finger swipe

Open Settings > Additional settings > Gesture shortcuts > Take a screenshot, enable the three-finger option, then slide three fingers down the display. Take the ordinary screenshot first; Scroll remains a control on the resulting preview rather than part of the gesture itself.

How to use the scrolling controls precisely

Choose the endpoint

Scrolling screenshots are best for a complete article, conversation, receipt, or document section. Watch the preview as it grows and stop before unrelated content, comments, advertisements, or a footer you do not want to share. The phone may continue moving while images or text are still loading, so use a moderate pace rather than repeatedly tapping or swiping quickly.

Free tools Windows power users keep installed

Save and find the image

Tap DONE when the endpoint is correct, then tap ✓. The capture is saved as an image in Gallery, normally alongside ordinary screenshots. If it appears in the preview but is not visible later, check Gallery permissions and the folder access used by Gallery Editor; HyperOS guidance notes that permission to particular folders can be required to view and save scrolling captures.

Why is the Scroll button missing or greyed out?

A missing or disabled Scroll control does not necessarily mean the phone is broken. Xiaomi documents the feature, but does not promise that every app, screen, model, or software build exposes it.

The screen cannot scroll

Scroll is normally unavailable when the current view already fits on one screen or has no additional vertical content. Try a longer page or move to the beginning of the document before taking the screenshot.

The app blocks or changes scrolling capture

Some apps draw content in a way that the system cannot extend, or intentionally restrict screenshots. Test the same procedure in a normal browser page or a long text document. If it works there but not in the original app, the limitation is app-specific rather than a phone-wide setting.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Your build exposes a different interface

MIUI and HyperOS releases, regional firmware, and device families can use different preview controls. Install available system updates, try Control Center instead of a button shortcut, and look for a Long screenshot label or an overflow control in the screenshot preview. The feature is not guaranteed on every model.

Fix gaps, duplicated areas, or a capture that ends too soon

  • Scroll more slowly: moving quickly can capture a section before it finishes rendering, producing gaps or repeated areas.
  • Wait for lazy-loaded images: pause at image-heavy sections before allowing the next movement.
  • Reduce page motion: close animated menus, carousels, or expanding elements where possible.
  • Start at a stable position: return to the top of the article or message and take a fresh ordinary screenshot rather than extending an already partial capture.
  • Use a shorter endpoint: extremely long pages can be difficult to stitch cleanly; capture logical sections if the final image becomes unwieldy.

What Xiaomi scrolling screenshots can and cannot do

Question Native Xiaomi result
Where it works best Vertically scrolling web pages, messages, articles, and documents
Output One tall raster image saved through Gallery
Selectable text Not preserved as document text; the result is an image
Horizontal content Designed for vertical extension, not panoramic capture
Maximum length Not stated; practical limits depend on the app, page, memory, and software build
Stitching quality Can show gaps or duplication if content moves or loads during capture
Permissions Gallery or Gallery Editor folder permissions may be needed to view or save the result

Alternatives when the built-in method is unsuitable

Use an app’s own export or print command

For a web article or document, an in-app Print, Export PDF, or Save as PDF command can preserve text and links instead of producing a bitmap. This is preferable when the recipient needs searchable or selectable content, but it will not reproduce the exact visual appearance of a screenshot.

Capture in a desktop browser

If the phone app blocks scrolling capture, open the same URL on a desktop browser and use that browser’s full-page capture feature. This changes the layout and may require signing in again, so it is a fallback rather than an identical replacement.

Use an API for automated website captures

For repeated URLs, scheduled snapshots, or server-side workflows, an API avoids manual phone interaction. Compare any service by app/site compatibility, whether it returns an image or selectable document, maximum capture length, stitching behavior, and the permissions or credentials it requires.

Or skip the browser setup: ScreenshotNeo

ScreenshotNeo is a website screenshot API and MCP server for developers. One GET request returns a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF. Before capture it accepts cookie or consent banners like a visitor and removes more than 60 known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets; each cleanup step can be switched off. Bot checks and CAPTCHAs, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits are not billed, and response headers identify the page verdict and billing result.

It also offers full-page capture with lazy images loaded, CSS-selector element capture, dark mode, device presets or custom viewports, retina scale, PDF paper and page controls, custom CSS and JavaScript, pre-capture clicks, hidden selectors, selector or delay or network-idle waits, request and resource blocking, headers, cookies, user agents, Authorization, timezone and geolocation, transparent backgrounds, resizing, configurable-TTL caching, signed image links, asynchronous webhooks, bulk capture of up to 100 URLs per call, a usage API, and an OpenAPI specification. An MCP server exposes take_screenshot, get_page_info, and capture_pdf to Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

See the ScreenshotNeo documentation for parameter details. This cURL request captures a full page:

curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webp

Python:

import requests
r = requests.get("https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot", params={"access_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "url": "https://stripe.com"}, timeout=90)
open("shot.webp", "wb").write(r.content)

Node.js:

const q = new URLSearchParams({ access_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://stripe.com' });
const res = await fetch(`https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot?${q}`);

The Free plan includes 1,000 shots per month with no card. Paid plans start at $5 for 3,000 shots; every feature is included on every plan, and yearly billing provides two months free. Create a free ScreenshotNeo account to start without a card.

Troubleshooting checklist

  • No screenshot preview: retry with Control Center, then verify the button or three-finger shortcut in Settings.
  • Scroll is greyed out: confirm that more content exists below and test a standard browser page.
  • Image has seams: slow the automatic movement and wait for dynamic content to finish loading.
  • Capture is not in Gallery: grant Gallery Editor access to the relevant storage folders and check the screenshots album.
  • Only part of the page is included: stop and restart from the desired starting point, then let the capture continue to the endpoint.
  • App content is missing: use that app’s export or PDF function, or capture the same content in a browser.

Frequently asked questions

Is a scrolling screenshot the same as a PDF?

No. Xiaomi’s built-in result is a tall image. A PDF or export command may preserve selectable text and links instead.

Can I capture an entire chat?

You can capture a long chat when the app allows vertical scrolling capture, but app restrictions and very long histories can limit the result. Capture in sections if the image becomes difficult to handle.

Does the feature require a special Xiaomi accessory?

No. It uses the phone’s built-in screenshot controls; no accessory is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will scrolling screenshots work on every Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO phone?

No. Availability depends on the model, software build, region, and the app displaying the content.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Where are long screenshots saved?

They are saved through Gallery, usually with ordinary screenshots. If one is missing, check Gallery Editor folder permissions.

Why does my long screenshot contain duplicated text?

The page likely moved or loaded while the phone stitched frames. Retry at a moderate pace after dynamic content settles.
