How to Take a Long Screenshot on Xiaomi Phones

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

On most Xiaomi and Redmi phones, take a normal screenshot first, then tap Scroll in the screenshot preview. Let the phone continue automatically or drag the page to the stopping point, tap DONE, and tap the check mark to save one long image.

The five-step method

  1. Open the content you want to capture. Scroll to a sensible starting position and close anything you do not want included.
  2. Take a normal screenshot. Press Volume Down + Power together, swipe down with three fingers, or open Control Center and tap Screenshot.
  3. Tap Scroll in the upper-right corner of the screenshot preview. The phone will begin extending the capture beyond the visible screen.
  4. Choose the endpoint. Allow the page to move down automatically, or scroll upward yourself until the image contains exactly the content you need.
  5. Tap DONE, then tap the check mark. Xiaomi saves the long screenshot as a single image.

The important detail is that Scroll appears only after a normal screenshot; it is not normally a separate button in the camera or Gallery app.

Ways to start the first screenshot

Volume Down and Power

Press Volume Down and Power at the same time and release quickly. Holding the buttons too long can open the power menu or change the volume instead of creating a screenshot.

Three-finger swipe

Swipe down with three fingers on the screen. If nothing happens, the gesture may be disabled. Open Settings > Additional settings > Gesture shortcuts > Take a screenshot and enable the three-finger screenshot option.

Control Center

Open Control Center and tap Screenshot. This route is useful when a case makes the hardware buttons difficult to press or when you prefer on-screen controls.

The exact labels and available shortcut switches can differ between Xiaomi models and between MIUI and HyperOS releases. If one route is missing, use another route and then look for Scroll in the resulting preview.

Controlling the length of the capture

Automatic movement

After you tap Scroll, Xiaomi can move the page downward by itself. Watch the preview while it advances. When the required content is included, stop the process and tap DONE.

Manual endpoint

You can move upward yourself to control where the long image ends. This is useful for an article, settings page, chat transcript or receipt where you need to stop immediately after a particular section rather than capture everything available.

Saving the result

DONE confirms the selected endpoint; it does not replace the final save action. Tap the check mark afterward. Open Gallery and look for the resulting long image in the screenshots section.

Why Scroll may be missing or gray

The interface does not support scrolling capture

Xiaomi states that some interfaces do not support long screenshots. In those cases, the Scroll control can be unavailable or gray even though ordinary screenshots work. This is a limitation of the current app or screen, not necessarily a fault with your phone.

The screenshot preview was dismissed

If you swipe away or close the screenshot preview, take the screenshot again. The Scroll control belongs to that preview and normally cannot be opened later from Gallery.

The phone software uses different wording

MIUI and HyperOS versions, regional builds and individual Xiaomi models can place the control differently. Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 14 Pro instructions use the same sequence: open Control Center, tap Screenshot, choose Scroll; alternatively use an enabled gesture or button shortcut, take a normal screenshot, and then tap Scroll.

A third-party app shows an unexpected preview page

If the captured app image contains an app preview page, Xiaomi attributes that behavior to the third-party app rather than the phone software. Check the app’s own display or sharing settings and try the capture again. See Xiaomi’s explanation at this support page.

Fixing a long screenshot that will not save

Gallery cannot view the image

Gallery Editor may not have permission to access the folder required for the screenshot. Review the app’s storage or photos-and-videos permissions in Android settings, then reopen Gallery and try again.

The capture stops before the expected content

Some screens expose only a limited scrollable region to the system capture tool. Try starting at the top of that region, use the manual endpoint, and avoid switching between nested panels while the capture is running. If Scroll remains gray, the interface may simply be unsupported.

The page moves but the final image is incomplete

Wait for the page to finish loading before taking the first screenshot. Images or sections that appear only after a delay may not be present when the capture begins. For a very long page, make several shorter captures if the app repeatedly stops at the same point.

Troubleshooting checklist

Symptom Likely cause What to do
No screenshot preview Shortcut did not trigger or the buttons were held incorrectly Press Volume Down and Power together briefly, or use three fingers or Control Center.
Scroll is not shown The preview was closed, or the current interface does not expose a scrollable capture Take a new screenshot and check the preview; if still absent, try another app or screen.
Scroll is gray Xiaomi does not support long capture for that interface Use a series of normal screenshots or the app’s export/share function.
Image cannot be opened or saved Gallery Editor lacks access to the required folder Grant the required photos or storage permission, then retry.
Unexpected app preview page appears Behavior controlled by the third-party app Check that app’s settings; Xiaomi identifies this as an app-side behavior.
Gesture does nothing Three-finger shortcut is disabled Open Settings > Additional settings > Gesture shortcuts > Take a screenshot and enable it.

Getting cleaner, more useful results

  • Dismiss cookie notices, keyboards and temporary menus before the first screenshot if they are not part of the record you need.
  • Start at the top of the exact section you want. The long image follows the page’s scroll order; it does not reconstruct content that was never loaded.
  • Stop at a natural boundary such as the end of an article, receipt or settings section. Extremely long captures are harder to read and share.
  • Review the saved image for private data before sending it. A long screenshot can include account names, notification text or information that was below the initial viewport.
  • If the target is a document or web page that offers its own PDF or export command, that original export may preserve text more reliably than a raster screenshot.

When you need an automated screenshot of a website

The Xiaomi workflow is designed for content visible on your phone. If you instead need repeatable screenshots of public web pages from a script or an AI agent, ScreenshotNeo is the first alternative to try: it removes common consent banners, popups and chat widgets before capture, bills only clean successful shots, and has a low-cost paid entry plan.

Or skip the browser setup

ScreenshotNeo is a website screenshot API and MCP server. One GET request returns a PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF. Before capture it can accept cookie or consent banners and remove more than 60 known consent platforms, newsletter popups and chat widgets; each cleanup step can be switched off. Bot checks or CAPTCHAs, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads and cache hits are not billed, and the response reports the result with X-Page-Verdict and X-Billed headers.

Use the API documentation at screenshotneo.com/docs/. Replace the URL with the page you need and keep your access key private.

cURL

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)
r.raise_for_status()
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}`);
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${res.status}`);
const data = Buffer.from(await res.arrayBuffer());
require('fs').writeFileSync('shot.webp', data);

Options for difficult pages

Beyond a basic URL, ScreenshotNeo supports full-page capture with lazy images loaded, a CSS-selector element capture, dark mode, 12 device presets or any viewport, retina scale, PDF paper size/margins/landscape/page ranges, HTML/CSS-to-image, custom JavaScript and CSS, clicking an element before capture, hiding selectors, waits for a selector, delay or network idle, blocking ads, trackers, requests or resource types, custom headers/cookies/user agent/Authorization, timezone and geolocation, transparent backgrounds, image resizing, user-selected cache TTL, signed links for public <img> tags, asynchronous jobs with signed webhooks, bulk capture for up to 100 URLs per call, a usage API and an OpenAPI specification. Parameter names used by other screenshot APIs also work to ease migration.

Start with 1,000 free screenshots a month with no card; paid plans start at $5 for 3,000 shots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the same long-screenshot steps on Redmi phones?

Yes. Xiaomi documents the same normal-screenshot-then-Scroll sequence for Redmi devices, including the Redmi Note 14 Pro, although shortcut labels can vary by software version.

Does ScreenshotNeo capture my phone’s on-screen interface?

No. ScreenshotNeo captures web pages through its API or MCP tools. Use Xiaomi’s built-in Scroll workflow for a screenshot of the phone interface itself.
