Thirty-minute Bitcoin footprint chart showing delta at each price, with a Bar Stats table of buy, sell, total and delta volume under it.

What the footprint shows

A normal candle shows four prices: open, high, low and close. A footprint keeps those and adds the trades. At each price level inside the candle you see the volume that traded there, split into market buys and market sells, or shown as delta (buys minus sells).

That answers questions a candle cannot. Did the breakout have real buying behind it? Were sellers absorbed at the low? Where inside the bar did most of the volume trade?

Footprint charts usually cost money

Most platforms put the footprint behind a paid plan or a desktop licence. On TradingView, for example, volume footprints are part of the paid plans. DM Charts gives them to everyone, without an account. See DM Charts vs TradingView.
