How to protect images on my Divhunt website from being stolen?

General

Hi there, I’m building a website on Divhunt for my client, and we’d like to protect the images from being easily downloaded or stolen. May I ask:

  1. Is there any built-in setting to disable right-click or image downloads?
  2. Can we add custom JavaScript to prevent right-click or drag-saving?
  3. Is hotlink protection supported on Divhunt hosting?
  4. Any best practices you recommend (e.g. watermark, lazy loading, CDN settings)?

Really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Currently, Divhunt doesn’t offer a built-in toggle to disable right-click or protect images. However, you can implement custom JavaScript for that.

As well we currently dont support hotlink protection. If needed, you could host critical images on a third-party CDN like Cloudflare Images or AWS CloudFront where hotlink protection can be configured. And then just paste those url’s inside of image field settings.

I am not sure on what website you are working on, let’s say its for photographer, so best practice is to never upload best quality image to the website, if you do, if someone wants to steal it, he will find a way. - “If it’s viewable, it’s stealable.”

So I guess you can upload images with lower resolution across pages with no watermark… but if theres a gallery with full resolution image, then adding watermark to images seems reasonable.

And as well, even if it is gallery, no need upload like full 4K resolutions or something, I suggest even there do like 1500px width.

And just note: I am not an expert in this field, I haven’t research deeply how to properly secure images or if you possibly can in any way.
