Yes, in Webflow it is possible to disable the ability to drag images. This can be achieved by applying custom CSS to the image element. Here's how:

  1. Select the image element you want to disable image dragging for.
  2. Go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.
  3. Click on the "+" icon next to the "Custom Code" field to add a new custom CSS rule.
  4. In the "Custom Code" field, enter the following CSS code:
img {  -webkit-user-drag: none;  -khtml-user-drag: none;  -moz-user-drag: none;  -o-user-drag: none;  user-drag: none;}
  1. Save the changes and publish your site.

By adding this custom CSS rule, you are essentially disabling the ability to drag the image element in modern web browsers. However, note that this solution may not work in older browsers or certain mobile devices that do not support these CSS properties.

This is a useful feature if you want to prevent visitors from dragging and copying your images or if you prefer to have more control over the interaction on your website.
