How do people go about making really long images like this? And also, what screen resolution are they aimed at?

Any time I find images like this I end up having to zoom in & pan about to read whatever text's included. It's not much trouble, but when I come across them I'm often a little perplexed by the formatting.

Modern phones let you scroll after taking a screenshot

At least I know IOS does, and I've done it on android before

Samsung has had scrolling screenshots for ages too.

Thanks, I should have clarified that I'm asking from a desktop perspective.

There are more options on that front, but I think the browser screenshot tool may kinda work for a full page shot then I guess you might crop it? But those have still seemed kinda rough to me so made me wonder.

I’m asking from a desktop perspective.

my second monitor is rotated

Would you happen to be into shmups?

More for tiling 3 windows across it, or editing a long document

... I have played raiden on it a few times

Firefox actually has full page screenshots built in. Was a super welcome feature when I switched to it from chrome recently.

In firefox, right click anywhere on the page and click "Take screenshot". Then on the top right, click "Save full page"

A browser extension I like that handles full-sized extensions is Fireshot.

I can rotate my monitor but my PC is a tablet, so I can just use it's screen

They splice together multiple mobile screenshots. There might be an app that lets you press a button, scroll, then press stop, to do the same thing.

But it's definitely designed for mobile. This reads really easily on my phone.

This reads really easily on my phone.

Through one of the apps, presumably? I typically use browser on mobile & so have the same zoom/pan experience described above.

Sync automatically zooms it in to full width. Really nice for screenshots like this or web comics.

Looks fine to me on desktop via Alexandrite

Screen Master is a great app on Android that can do this (has automatic stitching which works really good too!). There's probably an iOS version. I forget if I paid for it or not but it's been great.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I think these are long, stitched screenshots made on a phone

You can actually see text? All I'm seeing is garbled shit. Any legible greentexts? I haven't seen them.

Click the image

Lemmy massively fucks with the resolution on previews

My ignorance of Boost was at fault, not Lemmy. Appreciate the sympathy shout out, tho
