Hello.

I need to prevent others from using, copying, printing, and downloading images from my website. What function can I use for that?
I know that many websites have such a capability. What does Goodsie offer its customers to protect its images.

    Hi Stella,

    Our recommendation would be to use small (not high resolution) images and to include a prominent watermark if you are concerned about visitors stealing your images. There is nothing that can be done to 100% prevent downloading and printing.

    Let us know if you have any further questions!

    Best,

    Thank you for your feedback. How does one create a prominent watermark?

    Hi Stella,

    If you have a photo editing program you can follow directions from the web such as these: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/glossary/f/watermark.htm

    There are also services that will assist with this for you: http://picmarkr.com/
