    Hi there,

    There is no way to prevent content you place on a public website from being copied. There are plugins you can use to disable right-click on a website (on WordPress.com suck a plugin would require the Business Plan), but aside from them breaking basic browser functionality, they are ridiculously simple to circumvent so in reality just gives the content owner a false sense of security while not actually doing anything to prevent content theft.

    If you don’t want your images to be downloaded, make sure to only use low-res images on your site – resize them to the actual size they will display on your site so there’s no bigger version available someone could access – and add a watermark to the image in a position where it cannot be easily cropped out.

    That still won’t prevent people from copying the images, but will make them less useful for re-use, so might discourage it.
