Selective Image Guard is a lightweight WordPress plugin that adds multiple layers of protection to your website’s images. It’s ideal for photographers, designers, and content creators who want to deter theft and unauthorized use of their visual content. Key Features Desktop Screenshot Prevention: Applies a blur filter to protected images when specific keyboard shortcuts for screenshots are detected. This is a deterrent, not a foolproof solution. Print Protection: Blurs protected images when a user attempts to print the page. Selective Protection: You control which images are protected. The plugin only affects images you mark as protected in the media library. How It Works Navigate to your media library and select the image you want to protect. Check the “Protect this image” option. The plugin will automatically apply front-end protections to the selected image to help prevent unauthorized access. Free Features The free version gives you solid protection against common image theft techniques: DevTools Detection – Prevents users from opening browser developer tools to inspect and steal images. JavaScript Disabling Detection – Detects when JavaScript is disabled, ensuring protections remain active. Desktop Screenshot Prevention – Blocks most attempts to capture screenshots of your images on desktop. Print Protection – Prevents printing of protected images directly from the browser. PRO Features The PRO version unlocks advanced and flexible controls for complete image protection: Bulk Protection – Quickly apply protection to all images across your website with a single setting. Featured Images Protection – Protects your WordPress featured images from theft. Protection by Post Type – Apply image protection only where you need it (e.g., posts, pages, custom post types). WooCommerce Product Galleries – Keep your product images safe and protect your online shop from unauthorized copying. Watermark – Automatically add a customizable watermark to your images for extra security. Premium Support – Get direct, priority support from the plugin author. Don’t understimate the value of a deterrent. This plugin provides a deterrent, not a foolproof solution. No client-side technique can offer 100% protection against a determined attacker. But don’t underestimate the value of a deterrent. Think about the methods used to keep mosquitoes away. Even if they don’t work 100%, would you rather be surrounded by hundreds of mosquitoes or just a couple? That’s the idea of a deterrent. Examples of Use Here are several examples where you would want to display an image on a site but discourage people from sharing it: Online course slides – You want students to see diagrams or infographics, but not download or redistribute them outside your platform. Stock photography previews – You show high-resolution images to logged-in subscribers, but do not want those same images shared publicly without a license. Members-only content – For example, fitness programs or meal plans with recipe cards as images, visible only to paying members. Confidential documents – An internal portal where staff see charts or scanned reports, but you do not want them forwarded outside the company. Product prototypes – Showing early design mockups (e.g. fashion sketches or unreleased product photos) to investors or testers, but preventing leaks to competitors. Protection against unauthorized scraping – Preventing automated bots from copying images and republishing them without permission. E-commerce product photos – Protecting your catalog from competitors scraping product images to use in their own stores. Real estate listings – Preventing property photos from being scraped and reused on unauthorized portals. Artistic portfolios – Protecting photographers, illustrators, and designers from having their portfolio images scraped and reused without attribution. News and media outlets – Protecting journalistic images from being scraped and re-hosted by content farms. Stock agencies – Protecting preview images (with or without watermarks) from being scraped in bulk to avoid licensing. Recipe or DIY blogs – Protecting step-by-step photos from being scraped and republished elsewhere.
