One-Click Branded Chart Export: Share Your Chart, Not Just a Screenshot
MyLinedChart's branded chart export turns any chart view into a shareable, watermarked image — your ticker and MyLinedChart.com baked in. It's a distribution feature, distinct from MyLinedChart's structured drawings export used for journaling and AI review.
Every trader eventually wants to share a chart — in a group chat, on social media, in a coaching thread. A raw screenshot works, but it says nothing about where it came from. MyLinedChart's one-click branded chart export solves this directly: it captures your current chart view — candles, drawings, indicators, zoom — as a PNG with your ticker and MyLinedChart.com watermarked in, ready to Save or Share in one click.
What Branded Chart Export Is
Branded chart export is a button in the MyLinedChart desktop app — Export as Image — that captures exactly what's on your chart right now: candles, drawings, indicators, current zoom and range. It renders that capture as a PNG with a two-line watermark showing your ticker and MyLinedChart.com, then gives you Save or Share buttons.
The point is distribution. A chart you post to a trading community, send to a coach, or drop into a group chat should be recognizable as yours and traceable back to the tool that made it — not a bare, unbranded screenshot that could have come from anywhere.
How It's Different From Structured Drawings Export
MyLinedChart has had structured drawings export for a while: your trend lines, levels, notes, indicators, and OHLCV data exported as JSON, XLSX, or CSV — machine-readable, built for journaling, AI review with Claude Code or Codex, dashboards, and custom automation. That feature is about data.
Branded chart export is a different thing entirely: a single PNG image of the chart as it looks right now, for a human to look at — not a data file for a program to parse. Use structured export when you need to reuse chart context somewhere else. Use branded export when you want to show someone the chart itself.

Why the Watermark Matters
The watermark isn't decoration. It marks the image as yours — the ticker tells your audience what they're looking at, and the MyLinedChart.com mark means anyone who sees the chart shared elsewhere knows where it came from and can find the tool themselves.
For traders who regularly post setups, reviews, or coaching examples, that's a small piece of consistent branding that costs nothing extra — it's built into the export, not something you add afterward.
How to Use It
Set up your chart the way you want it shown — symbol, timeframe, drawings, indicators. Click Export as Image. The app renders the branded PNG and shows a preview with Save and Share buttons. Save writes the file locally; Share hands it directly to your device's share sheet or clipboard, depending on platform.
There's nothing to configure — the watermark and ticker are applied automatically every time.
FAQ
Is branded chart export the same as MyLinedChart's structured drawings export?
No. Branded chart export produces a single watermarked PNG image of your current chart view, for sharing with people. Structured drawings export produces machine-readable JSON, XLSX, or CSV data — your trend lines, levels, notes, indicators, and OHLCV — for journaling, AI review, and automation. They're separate features that solve different problems.
What does the watermark include?
Your current ticker symbol and the MyLinedChart.com mark, rendered directly into the exported image.
Can I export without the watermark?
No — the watermark is applied automatically on every branded export. If you need an unbranded data representation of your chart instead of an image, use MyLinedChart's structured drawings export.
Where do I find the export button?
In the desktop app's chart toolbar: Export as Image. It opens a preview with Save and Share buttons.
