Long image

Long image joins every page of a document, top to bottom, into one tall JPEG. It’s handy for chat apps that show a single picture better than a PDF or a pile of photos.

What it is

Each page is scaled to the same width and placed under the previous one, with a thin light-grey gap between pages. Signatures, annotations, the watermark and the timestamp are drawn in.

Step by step

1. Open the document and tap Share.
2. Tap the Long image chip, next to JPG. Or tap Tools, then Long image under Convert, and pick the document.
3. Tap Share Long image.
4. Pick the app to send it with. You can also tap Save to a folder… instead.

Free and Pro

Long image is free.

Privacy

• The image is made on your iPhone, one page at a time. Nothing is sent to our server.
• The file exists only while you share it, and is deleted when the share sheet closes.
• Long image isn’t offered for documents in a private vault: their pages are only ever opened in memory.

Tips

• Long image works best for a few pages. For long documents, a PDF is easier to read.
• A picture can only be so tall. A long image holds about 60 A4 pages; past that, Paperwise asks you to split the document first.

What if…

What if it says the document has too many pages?

Split the document into parts and make a long image of each. See Split and merge.
