Keeping your site’s content safe helps protect your photos, artwork, and other intellectual property from being copied or misused. Wix has several built-in features and apps designed to help you prevent unauthorized downloads and safeguard your work.

Adding a watermark with Photo Studio

Wix Photo Studio is a versatile tool that allows you to edit, adjust, and customize your images. Use the text tool to manually add a watermark to your photos. You can even adjust the font, size, format, and opacity.

To add a watermark:

Wix Editor
Studio Editor
Wix app
  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click the relevant image.
  3. Click the Settings icon .
  4. Click Adjust.
  5. Click Text on the left.
  6. Select a text style and click to add it to your image.
  7. Enter your chosen watermark message.
  8. (Optional) Click Design to customize the text:
    • Font: Click the relevant drop-down menu to change your font and font size.
    • Styles: Format your text using the options: BoldItalic or Underline and choose your text color.
    • Alignment: Choose your text alignment: LeftCenterRight or Justify and adjust your line spacing.

Note:
It is not possible to add watermarks to product images in Wix Stores, although you can manually add a watermark to the image before uploading it. 

Right Click Protect in pro galleries

Keep your images safe by displaying them in a Wix Pro Gallery. The pro gallery has built-in protection from right-clicking on desktop, so visitors can't save your images with a right click. 
Pro galleries have many different layout options available, and you can easily add them from your editor.
Note:
If you decide later that you do want to allow site visitors to download your images, you can enable this option in the pro gallery settings.

Using the Right Click Protect app

You can add the Right Click Protect app to your site from the Wix App Market to help protect your content. When visitors try to right-click on your site, they’ll see a custom message letting them know your content is copyrighted. After adding the app, you can update this message in the app’s settings to fit your needs.
Important:
The Right Click Protect app does not prevent visitors using Ctrl+C to copy your content. Vote for this option.

To add the Right Click Protect app:

Wix Editor
Studio Editor

  2. Click Add Apps  on the left side of the editor.
