Screenshots

[KeatonHammack]

Is there a way to prevent screenshotting anything on my store? I want to copyright my photos as much as I can to prevent someone from using my images, and I already disabled right-clicking on my store. Is it possible to block screenshots?

Hi Keatonhammack,

Unfortunately in general you cannot prevent someone from doing a screenshot however, there are some things you can do:

Upload Your Photos in Low-Resolution

Point out That Your Work Is Copyrighted

Include the Copyright Owner and Source in the Image Itself

Protect Your Images with a Watermark

Overlay Your Image with a Transparent File

Block Right-Click Functionality - requires a Script on your end.

Upload Your Images Section-By-Section

Register a Copyright for Your Images

Hi @KeatonHammack

The only sure fire way of protecting your work is to add a watermark to the image, then upload to the website Disabling right-click will help somewhat, but anyone can still take a screenshot, or use the "view page source" option that all browsers have. 

There's tons of free programs online that you can use to add a watermark. I recommend searching Google (or you browser of choice) for something like, "watermark images generator" or something similar.
