Ways to prevent downloading of product images
-
I’m looking for ways to prevent the typical user from downloading WooCommerce product images. I know, there is always a way around it. But I am looking for unobtrusive ways to do so for this client, who doesn’t want their patterns saved easily. I know you can disable right-click/save as with JavaScript, but I find that incredibly annoying and am trying to avoid it. Is there a known method or plugin I can use that will use the method that Instagram uses, converting the images to background images automatically? That way when you right-click/save as, it tries to get you to download the entire webpage instead, and you can still right-click for opening new tabs, etc.
We are also going to explore watermarks, but I was hoping to find a code solution. I am also going to explore trying to overlay a 1px x 1px transparent PNG over every image, but that too seems kinda lame. Any suggestions?
