How to take a long screenshot on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro: the complete guide

Creating long screenshots (or scrolling screenshots) on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro allows you to capture the entire web page, correspondence in messengers or lists in applications — anything that does not fit on a single screen. Unlike standard screenshots, this format saves context and eliminates the need to take multiple shots. However, not all users know that the feature is available not only through regular MIUI tools, but also through third-party utilities, each of which has its own nuances.

In this article, we will discuss 5 working ways to create long screenshots on the Redmi Note 10 Pro — from built-in features to alternative solutions for complex cases (for example, if the function is disabled or not working correctly), pay special attention to the typical errors that cause the screenshot to break or remain in poor quality, and compare methods for speed and convenience. If you have previously encountered problems when capturing the scrollable pages, here you will find solutions.

1. Standard method via MIUI (without additional applications)

The easiest method is to use the built-in scrolling screenshot feature in the MIUI shell. It works in most system applications (Browser, Messages, Contacts) and some third-party ones (for example, Telegram or VK).

Algorithm of action:

• 📱 Open the application or web page you want to capture.
• 🔘 Press the power buttons at the same time. + Reduce volume (standard screenshot).
• 📜 After 1-2 seconds, a screenshot will appear at the bottom of the screen - tap it on it.
• ⤵️ In the editor that opens, click the Scroll button (an icon with two down arrows) and the system automatically captures the visible area and starts scrolling.
• ✅ Wait for the process to be completed (the progress indicator at the top of the screen) and save the result.

⚠️ Note: The feature may not work in dynamic content applications (such as Instagram or TikTok) where elements load as you scroll.

2.Why is the long screenshot cut off or not saved?

Redmi Note 10 Pro users often find that the screenshot they scrolle through is interrupted in the middle or saved as a few separate files, both because of the limitations of MIUI and because of the specific features of specific applications.

A critical feature of the Redmi Note 10 Pro: in firmware based on Android 11 and below, the scrolling screenshots function is more stable than in Android 12+ due to changes in the screen capture API. If after the system update, long screenshots have ceased to save - try rolling back to the previous version of MIUI or use workarounds.

3. Alternative method: LongShot app for Xiaomi

If the built-in MIUI function fails, a third-party LongShot app (available on Google Play) will come to the rescue, supporting unlimited length capture, working with most applications, and allowing you to edit the result before saving.

• 🔧 Flexible quality settings (up to) 4K screen-supported).
• 📁 Automatic trimming of unnecessary items (e.g. navigation panels).
• 🌐 Support for horizontal scrolling (useful for Excel or Google Sheets tables).
• 🔄 Possibility of dosing if the first attempt was incomplete.

Instructions for use:

1. Install LongShot from Google Play.
2. Launch the application and grant permission to Screen Capture (pop-up).
3. Open the landing page and go back to LongShot – tap Start Capture.
4. Scroll through the content manually to the end (the app captures each frame).
5. Press Stop and edit the result (shortcut, filters, text).

⚠️ Note: The application may conflict with MIUI Optimization (built-in energy saving function) Before using, disable LongShot optimization in battery settings: Settings → Annexes → Application management → LongShot → Battery → No restrictions.

4 Manual gluing of screenshots in Photoshop or Paint

If automatic methods don't work (e.g., because of specific content or outdated firmware), you can create a long screenshot manually by gluing a few standard shots together, which takes longer, but guarantees results even in the most difficult cases.

Procedure:

1. Take a series of regular screenshots, scrolling through the page so that neighboring frames overlap by 20-30%.
2. Transfer files to your computer (or use mobile editors like PicsArt).
3. Open the first screenshot in Photoshop or Paint 3D (Windows).
4. Expand the canvas (Image → Canvas Size) down to the height of the next frame.
5. Insert the second screenshot on the new layer and align over the overlapping snippet (use the Move Tool with reduced transparency for accuracy).
6. Repeat for all frames, then cut the excess edges (Crop Tool).

💡

To speed up the process in Photoshop, use the Auto-Align Layers (Edit → Auto-Align Layers) function by selecting the Auto option.

⚠️ Note: When gluing manually, monitor the resolution of the final file. If the original screenshots have different resolutions (for example, due to a change in the orientation of the screen), the final image may be distorted. Before you start, check the parameters of all frames in the file properties.

5. Advanced method: Capture via ADB (for power users)

If you need to create a long screenshot in an application where a standard feature is blocked (for example, in banking programs or games), you can use the ADB tool (Android Debug Bridge), which requires connecting a smartphone to a computer, but allows you to bypass the limitations of MIUI.

Preparation:

• 🖥️ Install Platform Tools on PC.
• 📱 Turn on Debugging. USB Redmi Note 10 Pro: Settings → The phone. → Version. MIUI (tap 7 times to activate the developer mode, then Settings → Additionally. → For developers → Debugging by USB.

Commands to capture:

adb shell screencap -p | perl -pe 's/\x0D\x0A/\x0A/g' > screen.png # Single screenshot


adb shell uiautomator dump /sdcard/window.xml # Obtaining Screen Structure for Scrolling




adb shell input swipe 500 1500 500 500 1000 # Software scrolling (coordinates and speed)

To automate the process, you can use a Python script with the Pillow library, which sequentially takes screenshots, scrolls the screen and glues the results. The finished solutions are available on GitHub (search on request android long screenshot adb).

6. Comparison of methods: which one to choose?

To determine the best way to create long screenshots on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, compare the key parameters of each method:

💡

For most tasks, LongShot is optimal, combining convenience and flexibility. Use the built-in MIUI function only for quick snapshots in supported applications. Leave the ADB method for emergencies when other methods are blocked.
