How to prevent user from downloading or saving an image?

Answer 1

if you are using Apache server, you can disable accessing the image through absolute url
the images can be access only with relative url with this htaccess code :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]

in addition, disable the right click context using JavaScript, and add a watermark to protect the copy rights
this will reduce the chance of saving the images
