  Hi there,

  All images posted to the internet cannot be fully protected against theft. In order to at the very least show that the images belong to you, you could place personal watermark on each photo – this may discourage anyone from wanting to access that file for their own uses.

  Hope this helps,

  Cheers

  Hello there, the information that @codekmyta provided is correct. We do have information about content theft and some things you can do to prevent it in our support guide here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/prevent-content-theft/

  In addition, make sure that you are not uploading full-size images right out of your camera when you upload images to your website. There are a lot of good reasons to resize and optimize an image before uploading them: Smaller images are less attractive to content thieves, your site loads faster for your site visitors and you save precious storage space in your Media Library. For the theme you are currently using, Blask, you can have a look at the Quick Specs at the bottom of the page for recommended image sizes.

  Let us know if you have any other question about this.
