How can I keep the pictures on my Facebook page from being copied? - thatdontimpressmemuch - 10-15-2012 07:41 PM
I have a Facebook page for my website and I just got a ton of pictures from this movie that is very rare. I know how I can make it to where only my friends can see them but is there something I can used to keep them from copying those pictures and using them on other websites? thanks

Impossible...You show me any site that has an image you think can't be copied, and I'll send you a copy....

You can set the album to friends only, but they're not technically YOUR pictures, so there is nothing you can do.

Nope, can't stop them from copying them.
The best advice I can offer you is to seriously degrade the image quality so that copying them wouldn't be worth anything.
There are plenty of technical ways that can prevent people from taking online pictures... but at the end of the day, there is absolutly NOTHING that can stop someone from taking picture of their screen with a digital camera.
There is no way to share an image online and keep anyone from reusing it.

No, there is no way to prevent people from copying/saving pictures that you post on facebook.
If you want to post them anyway, I've seen a lot of blogs/websites that put a watermark on the picture with their website name. for example: http://www.cellphoneinn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/500x_iphone4_01.jpg
You can't stop people from downloading them, but you can at least make sure anyone who comes across the picture comes back to your website.
