The Binance App supports three ways to take screenshots: System native screenshots (Power + Volume keys or 3-finger swipe), App's built-in sharing feature (auto-generates a poster with a QR code using the "Share" button after a trade), and PNL Posters (pops up automatically after hitting certain profit/loss thresholds in futures). System screenshots offer freedom but can expose sensitive info like balances; the built-in sharing tool automatically hides account data and adds a referral QR code, making it both beautiful and safe. Regardless of the method, always turn off the "Show Balance" toggle before taking a screenshot, or use the built-in screenshot tool on the Binance Official Site desktop client. On mobile, use the Binance Official App's sharing poster feature. If you are an iOS user installing for the first time, check our iOS Installation Guide to get the version that supports the latest sharing tools. This article details every screenshot method, privacy protection tricks, and tips for social media sharing.
Why Learn Professional Screenshotting?
Sharing trading results is part of crypto social culture, but standard screenshots cause three major issues: 1. Asset leaks (total balance and position sizes are visible), 2. Identity exposure (emails and UIDs can be targeted by hackers), and 3. Unprofessional aesthetics (status bar battery, signal, and notifications clutter the view). Learning to use the app's built-in sharing tools ensures your posts are visually appealing while protecting your privacy.
Method 1: System Native Screenshot (Fastest)
iOS: Press the Power button + Volume Up simultaneously and release, or set up double/triple tap on the back in "Accessibility - Touch - Back Tap" to trigger a screenshot.
Android:
- Xiaomi: 3-finger swipe down.
- Huawei: Double-knock with a knuckle.
- Samsung: Palm swipe across the screen.
- OPPO/Vivo: 3-finger swipe down or Power + Volume Down.
Scrolling Screenshot: After taking the screenshot, tap the preview in the bottom left → select "Scroll" or "Long Screenshot" to capture entire K-line charts or long order histories.
Quick Blurring:
- iOS 16+: Open the screenshot in Photos → "Edit" → "Markup" → use the mosaic pen.
- Android: Most native galleries feature a built-in "Mosaic" tool.
Method 2: App's Built-in Share Poster (Highly Recommended)
The Binance App generates beautifully formatted share posters across multiple scenarios, automatically concealing private data.
Where to find it:
- After closing a futures position: "Share PNL" at the bottom of the popup.
- Spot order details: Three-dot menu in the top right → "Share".
- Earn products page: Share icon in the top right.
- Refer friends: Referral Center → Share Poster.
The poster automatically includes: Trading pair, entry price, exit price, PNL percentage, duration held, and your referral QR code. It does NOT include your actual profit amount, total assets, or account info. It's perfect for flexing your ROI without revealing your capital.
Method 3: Professional K-Line Chart Screenshots
On the K-line market page, tap the "Camera" icon in the top right or long-press an empty area and select "Screenshot". Advantages:
- Captures a clean K-line chart without the app's top navigation bar.
- Automatically adds the Binance Logo watermark.
- Supports screenshots with indicators (MA/MACD/RSI are retained).
- Option to include a timestamp for historical reference.
Highly recommended for technical analysis sharing and trade journaling.
Hidden Features of Futures PNL Posters
After completing a futures trade, Binance intelligently matches different poster themes based on your PNL magnitude:
| PNL Percentage | Poster Theme |
|---|---|
| 0-50% | Static Green |
| 50-100% | Golden Flames |
| 100-500% | Dynamic Particles |
| 500%+ | Limited Edition (Rare color schemes) |
| Liquidation | Black Warning (Not shown by default) |
These posters only display Entry Price, Exit Price, ROI, Leverage, and Duration, entirely omitting capital amounts. Ideal for social media.
Three Layers of Privacy Protection
Layer 1: Hide balance before screenshotting. Tap the "Eye" icon in the top right of the "Wallets" page in the Binance App. All amounts will turn into "*****". This is the most elegant way to blur.
Layer 2: Local mosaic via screenshot tools. Use system tools or third-party apps (like Pixelmator or Snapseed) to blur highly sensitive fields like UIDs, emails, or order numbers precisely.
Layer 3: Crop before exporting. Remove your phone's status bar (battery, time, signal) and navigation bar. Only keep the core content. We recommend cropping to a 16:9 (landscape) or 9:16 (portrait) ratio to fit major social platforms perfectly.
Social Media Sharing Tips
Twitter/X: The optimal image size is 1200×675; anything larger might be compressed. We recommend bilingual (English + local language) captions to reach a broader audience.
Telegram: Supports 4K original quality. Send it as a "File" to avoid compression. Dropping Binance posters in trading groups fits the vibe perfectly.
WhatsApp/WeChat: iOS users can long-press an image and "Extract QR Code", meaning your referral code can be scanned directly from the post. Sharing is essentially marketing your referral link.
Instagram/TikTok: Use vertical 9:16 crops to maximize screen real estate and add relevant crypto hashtags.
Taboos: Avoid using highly sensitive words like "exchange", "deposit", or "make money" on heavily regulated public platforms, as this might lead to shadowbanning or post deletion.
Desktop Screenshot Solutions

Win + Shift + S: Region snip.Print Screen: Full screen.- Snipping Tool: Advanced features.

The Binance Web client features a native "Camera" button in the top right of the K-line chart, generating a clean K-line screenshot devoid of any browser borders.
Recording Trading Video Tutorials
Beyond static images, the Binance App supports screen recording for K-line replay sharing.
iOS: Control Center → Screen Recording button → select "Binance" → Start Recording.
Android: Pull down notification shade → Screen Recorder → Select app.
After recording, you can use editing tools like CapCut to create trade recaps or beginner tutorials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Does the App block screenshots? Binance allows screenshots by default, but automatically blacks out the screen during highly sensitive actions like KYC identity verification or password changes to prevent social engineering attacks.
Q2: Why are my screenshots blurry? Set your system "Display & Brightness - Resolution" to the highest setting. On OLED screens, avoid taking screenshots in "Battery Saver" mode, which might downsample the image.
Q3: Can I change the referral code on the poster? Yes, go to "Referral Center - My Referral Links" to customize your Referral ID (letters + numbers). The poster will update automatically.
Q4: What if platforms flag the screenshot due to the QR code? Some strict platforms dislike QR codes. Use an image editor to apply a light mosaic over the QR code to bypass automated filters.
Summary
Screenshot sharing is a vital part of Binance's social ecosystem. Our recommended priority is: App's built-in share poster > K-line dedicated screenshot > System native screenshot. The first two protect privacy and look professional by default, while the latter requires manual blurring. Master the 3-layer privacy rule (hide balance + mosaic + crop), and you can enjoy sharing your wins while keeping your account fully secure.
