Default how to protect image from my site?


i'm planning to sell my images put in my website but i'm wondering how
can i protect them. because i want them to view first the images
before they buy. but i'm aware also that they can download it if they
can view it.

anyone has any recommendation?

thanks in advance.

You can not protect images no matter what you do, if they are put in net. If
they are viewable they can be taken.

Only way to make sure no one get pictures is to NOT put them in net.

You might consider some visible watermarks in those images, maybe it would
be suitable way? Or lower image quality down enough, or keep image sizes
small maybe.

the only way is to stick something on them that makes it undesirable to
use the image such as 'sample' diagonally across the image or something
like that. making sure its not easily edited out.

if they can view it its already downloaded.

Generate sample images with a text embossed across, like "Sample Only".
You could do that dynamically on the fly to save you the work of having
to maintain the sample images.

You don't need to protect them if you are going to sell them. Just put
up a lower quality image. Anyone that would pay for the image does not
want one that is 400x300 in size. They want a higher quality image.
