  Is there any way to prevent people from copying the images you upload on your blog? Something like a protection? Thank you in advance!

  Hello there!

  Unfortunately there’s nothing WordPress.com can directly do to prevent content thefts from websites.

  What I can suggest you is to apply a watermark on your images to state your ownership over them, in case somebody wants to use them without asking for your permission.

  They folks at WordPress have written an article about watermarks in here: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2015/04/30/watermarks/.

  I also leave for you the page on the WP support section about preventing content theft: https://en.support.wordpress.com/prevent-content-theft/

  Hope you’ll find this content useful :)
