Hello!
I was wondering if there is a way to protect images on my website from being “right clicked” and saved?
Thank you 🌸

Hey there @Therese_A - fantastic question. Hope you don’t mind, I have moved this thread to the How-To section and adjusted the headline.
I would guide you to this article on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21110130/protect-image-download#:~:text=.%20Disable%20the%20Right%20Click%20on%20all%20Images) that gives you some great ideas and workarounds.
Like to quote an important point though:
> there is no 100% protection against image download
Aside from that, some Sitejetters have used the solution
> ```auto
> img {
> pointer-events: none;
> }
>
> ```
… that usually worked quite well.

Thank you for your answer and proper categorisation 🙂
Might I ask where I am to apply that code, as I am clueless to the coding part? 😅

Hey Therese,
just put it in the CSS - right on top. If you are unsure, let me know and ID and I can set it there as an example 🙂

Hello, I know it is not possible to completely stop images from being downloaded, but I’d like to at least disable the ‘‘right click’’ and ‘‘save as’’ option on my website. I tried the solution above but it didn’t work for me. Is this still the same code?
