Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Image Protection
The plugin uses JavaScript to implement various techniques that prevent users from copying, saving, or taking screenshots of images on your site.
The plugin is designed to be lightweight and should not significantly impact your website's performance. EXIF scanning only runs when you start it from Media > EXIF Privacy.
Yes, the Image Protection plugin is compatible with most WordPress themes. However, some themes may have custom scripts that could interfere.
Scanning for location and other privacy-sensitive image metadata requires the PHP EXIF extension (exif_read_data). Removing that metadata on upload or via the EXIF Privacy tool also requires a PHP image library: ImageMagick (imagick) is recommended for selective privacy cleanup; GD can be used as a fallback but may remove all embedded metadata from JPEG files. These features are optional and disabled by default — the rest of the plugin works without them.
Yes, you can disable protection for specific images in two ways: Add the class no-image-protection to the image (or a parent wrapper such as <picture>): html <img src="image.jpg" class="no-image-protection"> Add the data attribute data-image-protection="false" to the image or a parent wrapper: html <img src="image.jpg" data-image-protection="false">
Yes, you can force protection on specific images or elements in two ways: Add the class force-image-protection to the image: html <img src="image.jpg" class="force-image-protection"> Add the data attribute data-image-protection="true": html <img src="image.jpg" data-image-protection="true"> This will ensure the image or element is protected even if it would normally be excluded (like SVG images).
Yes. Go to Settings > Image Protection and enable "Apply blur protection to video elements". This option is disabled by default so existing sites are unaffected after updating. You can also opt individual videos in or out using the same no-image-protection, force-image-protection, and data-image-protection attributes used for images.
Go to Settings > Image Protection to enable automatic privacy metadata removal on upload, or use Media > EXIF Privacy to scan your existing library and clean flagged images in batches. Test on a staging site first.
To uninstall, go to the Plugins page in your WordPress admin, find the Image Protection plugin, and click "Deactivate." You can then delete it if desired.
