Description

This plugin will automatically add a tiny, invisible image on top of all of the images in your site. If a visitor right-clicks on one of your images, and selects “Save to Disk”, they will download the clear tiny image instead of the image that appears. If they select “Copy Image”, they will copy the clear tiny image instead of the image that appears.

You shouldn’t notice any slowdown on your site after installing the plugin; it has a very low profile.

In no way does the plugin claim to prevent downloads entirely; it is merely an added protective measure for your images.

Usage

  • If someone right-clicks on an image on your site, and selects Dowwnload Image or Open in New Tab etc., the plugin will return a 10×10 blank gif image.

Installation

  1. Install the plugin through the Install Plugins interface or by uploading the shrinkwrap_images folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the Shrinkwrap Images plugin.
    3, That’s it! Any image on your site is now coated with a clear, protective layer 🙂

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin prevent image downloads?

No. It is just a preventative step for image authors who want to do whatever they can to prevent downloads.

My images arent getting shrinkwrapped!

If your images are in a slider, make sure they link to “none” in your slider’s settings. Otherwise, let me know and I’ll take a look. There are many scenarios that may be overriding the plugin’s behavior.

Why did you make this plugin?

At my WordCamp Rochester 2017 talk, WordPress for Artists, I was asked if there were any plugins that could do this. Not finding one, I set about writing one myself.
