Does this site prevent people from downloading my pictures?

+ +

+ This website does not go out of its way to prevent people from downloading pictures, and + nor will it pretend to. This is actually a very difficult problem to solve in the year {{.YYYY}}. +

+ +

+ I could add some JavaScripts that prevent right-clicking on my pages so you can't + just "Save image as," but this would only deter desktop (mouse & keyboard) users and is easy + to work around. I could place a transparent image over top of all your pictures like + Instagram does and if you try and save it, you just get a one-pixel transparent GIF; but this + is trivially defeated by any novice web designer by just right-clicking, "Inspect element" and + deleting it from the web page to get at the photo it was protecting. +

+ +

+ And people can always just screenshot the whole web page - and a web page can't do anything + at all to prevent that. With mobile phones this is an especially easy and common thing to + do. Any mild measures this site could take to deter downloading would only provide a false + sense of security, which is worse than having no security. +

+ +

+ There are risks inherent with putting a picture on the Internet. This website does provide + some controls you can utilize as to who will see the pictures you upload: +

+ + + +

+ Note that your square cropped Default Profile Picture that appears next to your username + on various parts of this website is always visible to logged-in user accounts. The "full size" + version may be Friends-only or Private, but the square crop that you chose for your Profile + Picture is currently displayed to all logged-in users. +

+ +

+ Additionally, your Profile Page altogether can only be seen by logged-in members + of this site by default. You may tighten it further and mark your entire profile + as Private (and only approved friends can see your profile or any of your photos). + Note that your square cropped profile picture is still visible even so. +

+ +

+ Or if you are feeling very bold, you may mark your profile to have a "limited logged-out + view" if you want to share your profile link on another website such as Twitter. A logged-out + user will see only your Display Name and square cropped profile picture, and be invited to + sign up for {{PrettyTitle}} to contact you here. +
