  Thanks

  While there are a few workarounds that can help a little bit, such as choosing a theme for your site that prevents users from right-clicking on images, there isn’t really an effective way to prevent downloads completely because those workarounds tend to create more issues than they resolve.

  Your best bet is to watermark your images so that your claim is permanently attached to them, and to add text to your site advising viewers of what’s acceptable usage for your content and what’s not.
