The usual problem with printing a conversation is that a long screenshot squeezed onto one page ends up with text far too small to read. Add your screenshots to the editor above and the tool deals with that for you:
- Long screenshots (more than three times as tall as they are wide) are cut into sections and set side by side in two or three columns, like a newspaper. Extra pages are added when needed. The cuts fall in the blank space between lines, so no line of text is sliced in half. Each column is at least about 65 mm wide on paper, which puts typical phone chat text at around 8–9 pt, close to newspaper body text.
- Ordinary screenshots are placed in the order you added them, left to right and top to bottom.
Getting screenshots in
- Windows: press Win+Shift+S, select the area, then come back to this page and press Ctrl+V.
- Mac: press Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4 to copy a screenshot to the clipboard, then press Cmd+V here. (Plain Cmd+Shift+4 saves a file instead.)
- Phone: take the screenshots in your messaging app first, then tap Add files and select them from your photos.
You can paste one screenshot after another; each is added to the layout.
Squeezing it onto one page
Tap or click a long screenshot and choose Fit to one page. The tool shows roughly how big the text will be once printed and warns you if it’s getting too small to read. It’s your call whether to print it that way. If you’d rather keep the image in one piece, choose Don’t split.
Print or save
Click Export to print, download a PDF or download images. On a phone, use Share / Print. Your screenshots are processed only on your device, so your messages are never uploaded. If you need the printout as evidence for something official, check with whoever will receive it about what format they accept.
