How to take a long screenshot on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10: a complete guide with pictures and videos

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 is one of the most popular mid-range smartphones, but even its owners are not always aware of all the hidden features. Long (scrollable) screenshots are a feature that allows you to capture not only the visible part of the screen, but also the information that is hidden beyond its borders, such as an entire web page, a long chat in Telegram or a list of comments on social networks.

In this article, we’ll look at all the ways you can create long screenshots on the Redmi Note 10, from built-in MIUI tools to third-party apps with advanced features, how to get around system limitations, what settings affect the quality of the final image, and why the feature sometimes fails, and we’ll also share life hacks on how to edit and save such screenshots without losing quality.

Why a standard screenshot is not suitable for long pages

A typical screenshot on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 captures only the part of the screen that is visible at the moment, which is convenient for saving individual messages, map fragments or small sections of web pages.

• 📄 Long articles or instructions (e.g. Wikipedia or forums)
• 💬 Chat conversations with hundreds of messages (on WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram)
• 📊 Tables with a lot of rows (in Excel or Google Sheets)
• 🛒 Lists of products in online stores (for example, on AliExpress or Wildberries)

This is where the long-run screenshot comes in, and it automatically glues multiple frames together into a single image, capturing content that doesn't fit on a single screen.

On the Redmi Note 10, this feature is implemented differently depending on the version of MIUI and the updates installed, and in some cases it can be hidden or disabled by default, as we will discuss in the next section.

Method 1: Built-in long screenshot function in MIUI

The easiest and fastest method is to use the standard MIUI tool. It works on most firmware versions, including MIUI 12.5, MIUI 13 and MIUI 14 (relevant to the Redmi Note 10 based on Android 11/12).

1. Open the app or web page you want to capture. Scroll through the content so that the part that the screenshot should start with is visible at the top of the screen.
2. Take a regular screenshot of one of the ways: 🔘 Press the power buttons at the same time. + Volume reduction (by 1-2 seconds). 👆 Swipe down with three fingers (if the function is activated in the settings).

After the screenshot appears in the lower right corner of the screen, click on it.

In the editor that opens, the scroll button (or Long Screenshot in some versions) will appear at the bottom.

Wait for the system to automatically scroll through the page and glue the images together, and in the process, you can manually stop the capture by clicking on the screen.

Save the result by clicking Ready or Save.

Important: on some versions of MIUI, the "Scroll" button appears only after updating the firmware to MIUI 12.5+. If it is not available, check for updates in Settings → About Phone → System Update.

Open the necessary content in full screen mode

Make sure the page is fully loaded

Turn off autoscrolling (if any)

Check the space in memory (minimum 50 MB)

⚠️ Note: In some applications (e.g., banking or content-protected messengers), long screenshots may be blocked for security reasons.

Method 2: Manually create a long screenshot through multiple shots

If the built-in feature doesn't work or it crashes, you can use an alternative method, which is gluing multiple screenshots into one image, which takes a little longer, but is guaranteed to work on any version of MIUI.

You'll need:

• 📱 Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 (or any other Android-powered smartphone)
• 🖼️ Image gluing app (e.g. PhotoScan from Google or Stitch & Share)
• 🕒 2-3 minute-time

Step-by-step:

1. Take the first screenshot of the top of the page (as usual).
2. Scroll down so that the next screenshot overlaps the previous one by 20-30%, which is necessary for correct crosslinking.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 until you capture all the content you need. Save all the screenshots to a separate folder.
4. Open a glue app (like Stitch & Share) and select all the shots you take.
5. Wait for the program to automatically match the images, edit the joints manually if necessary.
6. Save the final long screenshot to the gallery.

Advantages of this method:

• ✅ It works on all versions of Android and MIUI
• ✅ It allows you to control the quality of each fragment.
• ✅ Can be used for screenshots from protected applications

Disadvantages:

• ❌ It takes more time.
• ❌ Requires third-party software installation
• ❌ Artifacts at joints are possible if screenshots are taken carelessly

💡

To minimize artifacts when glued together, take screenshots with at least 30% overlap and use applications with automatic perspective correction (for example, Microsoft Lens).

Method 3: Third-party applications for advanced long screenshots

If you want advanced features — for example, capturing the entire web pages, including those parts that you can’t see when scrolling, or creating high-resolution screenshots — you should pay attention to specialized utilities.-3 Apps that work well on Redmi Note 10:

How to use LongShot (Step-by-step):

1. Install the app from Google Play and open it.
2. Click Start Capture and select the screen area (or the entire page).
3. After the first shot, press Continue and scroll down. The app will automatically take the next shot.
4. Repeat until you capture all the content. Then press Done.
5. Edit the result (if necessary) and save to the gallery or share through the messenger.

⚠️ Note: Some long-screen apps (e.g. Scroll Capture) require permission to Overlay over other windows. To enable it, go to Settings → Annexes → Special access → Overlay over other windows and activate the switch for the selected utility.

How to edit and save long screenshots

A long screenshot taken is only half the story, often having to be cropped, redacted, or converted to PDF for easy sending.

1. Built-in MIUI editor

After creating a screenshot on Redmi Note 10, a simple editor automatically opens, where you can:

• 🖌️ Cut edges (tooling staffing)
• 🎨 Add text or drawings (hands, figures)
• 🔍 Blurr part of the image (Mosaic tool)
• 📤 Share immediately in messengers or social networks

2.Party editors

For more complex tasks, we recommend:

• Adobe Photoshop Express is for professional retouching and color correction.
• PicsArt – to add stickers, filters and collages.
• Xodo PDF – to convert screenshots to PDF and annotate.

Conservation tip: Long screenshots take up a lot of space (sometimes up to 10-15MB) to save memory:

• Save in JPEG format instead of PNG (quality is almost not lost, and weight is reduced by 2-3 times).
• Use cloud services (Google Photos, Yandex Drive) to store originals.
• Reduce the resolution to 1080p if you don’t need the maximum detail.

💡

To save a screenshot in a PDF on Redmi Note 10, use the Xodo PDF or Adobe Scan app. They automatically convert a long image into a multi-page document with searchable text (if the screenshot contains text).

Frequent Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Even with the seemingly simple process of creating long screenshots, Redmi Note 10 users often face problems, and here are the most common ones and ways to solve them:

If none of these methods worked, try an alternative approach:

1. Take a picture of the screen with another smartphone (unless the quality is critical).
2. Use ADB to take a screenshot via a computer (technical skills required).
3. Contact Xiaomi via the Mi Community app – your model may have specific limitations.
