Ledger wallet screenshot: get one with the balance you choose, for a video or a deck

A hardware wallet app screenshot is one of the hardest images to produce honestly: you either expose a real portfolio or you post a blurred rectangle nobody can read. Here is the third way, what each kind of screenshot has to contain to read as genuine, and the places such an image must never go.

The problem with a real one

Every other screenshot you publish is harmless. This one is not, and the reason is structural: the interesting part of the image is exactly the part you should not show.

A portfolio capture carries your totals, your asset mix, your account names, often the first characters of an address, and sometimes a device identifier. Any one of those narrows who you are. Together they are a profile. People in this field have been targeted on the strength of less, which is why the usual advice is to redact before posting.

And redaction kills the image. Blur the total and the screenshot says nothing. Crop to the part that is safe and you are left with a header. The thing you wanted to show is the thing you had to remove, so you end up publishing a rectangle that communicates only that you own something, somewhere, in some amount.

The third way

Compose the screen instead of capturing it. You choose the assets, the quantities and the names; the interface is drawn around them and exported at the size a phone capture would produce. Nothing is hidden because nothing real went in.

This is ordinary practice everywhere else. Banking apps in advertisements show invented balances. Software screenshots in documentation show invented accounts. Nobody considers it deceptive, because the context makes the purpose obvious and because no claim is being made about anybody.

Two conditions keep it that way here: the numbers must never be presented as yours, and the image should stay identifiable as a mockup when it leaves the page you put it on.

What each kind of screenshot has to contain

People want this image for four different shots, and each one fails for its own reason when it is composed carelessly.

The portfolio shot

The total, the day's change, the asset list. It fails when the total is not the sum of the rows. A viewer will not add them up, but an editor will, and so will anyone arguing with you in a comment section. Compose the quantities first and let the total follow.

The single asset shot

One asset, its quantity, its value, its price curve. It fails on the curve. A real price line is noisy at every zoom level, and its highest and lowest points fall where the market put them, not at a pleasing distance from the edges. A smooth arc reads as a drawing, because it is one.

The movement shot

A history screen with received amounts and truncated addresses. It fails on plausibility: round numbers, sequential-looking addresses, three transactions in the same minute. Vary the amounts and spread the dates.

The device shot

The profile screen with a hardware device listed. It fails on honesty rather than realism, and it is the one to be careful with. A device name on a drawn screen is set dressing. It cannot demonstrate that a device exists, and an audience that reads it as proof has been misled whether or not you intended it.

Five steps

1. Decide what the shot has to say. A tutorial needs a readable list. A deck needs one number. These are different screens.
2. Set the assets and quantities. Let the prices come from the market so the figures stand up to a check.
3. Look at it as a stranger would. Does the total match? Does the list look like something somebody holds, rather than something someone chose?
4. Export at native size. Resizing afterwards is visible.
5. Write the caption before you post. If the caption is uncomfortable to write, the image is doing something you had not admitted to yourself.

Where it must never go

Short list, no exceptions worth discussing.

• Any request for money. An investment, a loan, a sale, a partnership. A balance beside an ask is the shape of a fraud.
• Any verification. Proof of funds, account checks, eligibility for anything.
• Private messages that read as personal claims. Context is what keeps a prop a prop, and a direct message has none.

Everywhere else, it is a picture: tutorials, product demos, pitch decks about a product rather than a portfolio, sketches, thumbnails, mockups in design reviews.

What we make

Flexdger Wallet composes these screens from the assets and amounts you set, with live market prices, and exports at a phone resolution. No install, nothing to pair, and no step at which a recovery phrase is requested, because a drawn screen has no use for one. You can open the interface before deciding anything.
