Yes, there are several ways to protect images from being easily copied on Webflow. Here are some methods you can use:

  1. Disable right-click: By disabling the right-click function on your website, you can prevent users from accessing the browser's context menu, which includes the "Save Image" option. To disable right-click, you can add custom code to your Webflow project. Here's how:
  • Go to your Webflow Designer and select your page or element.
  • Click on the "Settings" tab in the right-hand panel.
  • Scroll down to the "Custom Code" section.
  • Add the following code to the "Head Code" or "Footer Code" section:
    ```css ```
  • Publish your site for the changes to take effect.
  1. Watermark your images: Adding a visible watermark to your images can discourage users from copying them. You can use a graphic design tool such as Photoshop or an online tool like Watermark.ws to add a watermark. Simply overlay your logo or text on the image and adjust the opacity to make it less intrusive.

  2. Use image protection services: There are third-party services available that offer more advanced image protection features. These services use techniques like image encryption, dynamic watermarking, and transparent image overlays to deter copying. Some popular options include Digimarc and Pixsy.

  3. Use CSS background images: Instead of adding images directly to your HTML code, consider using CSS background images. By placing your images as background images using CSS, it becomes more difficult for users to save them directly. This method, however, may not be suitable for all types of images and may impact your website's performance.

While these methods can make it harder for users to copy your images, it's important to note that none of them provide foolproof protection. Determined users may still find workarounds to save or copy your images. Therefore, it's always a good idea to consider the type of content you want to protect and explore additional measures if necessary.
