Protect the Proofing Previews

Basic protection blocks right-click and dragging, pro protection blurs one diagonal half of the image, and a watermark can sit on the previews. None of that stops a screenshot; it makes screenshots useless enough that nobody uses them in your place.

Open gallery Image protection

Basic protection blocks right-click, dragging an image and the save menu on mobile devices. It does nothing against a screenshot.

Pro protection blurs one diagonal half of the image. Which half stays sharp changes with the mouse or with a tap, so a single screenshot never shows the whole image sharp.

Important

There is no reliable way to stop image theft by screenshot, in any web gallery. Do not promise your clients otherwise.

A watermark on the previews #

Ab Tarif Pro Tarife ansehen

For proofing you can put a watermark straight onto the previews: your account default or a logo of its own for this gallery. “Adjust watermark” lets you drag it into place and set its size.

“Show released images without a watermark” takes the stamp off again as soon as an image is bought: for included images once the selection is final, for extra photos when you release them. Switch the option off if bought images should stay stamped until the edited version is in place.

The cover photo #

Pro protection does not apply to the cover photo. When in doubt, use an image that is already released or uncritical.
