HTML Guardian offers enhanced website images protection. The core HTML guardian
features like to encrypt javascript and html source provide a very good image
protection - visitors can't right click and save them, the paths to them are
not visible in the protected html source etc. However your images are somewhere
on the hard drive of each visitor of your website. Everyone can retrieve them
from the browser's cache, even if you encrypt JavaScript and HTML source code.
The Image Guardian add-on will prevent this(note that it can process only .jpg,
.gif , .png and .bmp files) by dividing your images into pieces with meaningless file
names - they will still appear on your website the same way, but saving them
will be extremely hard. Usually the browser cache contains hundreds or even thousands of pictures
from different websites, and it will be nearly impossible to find all the pieces
that were used to display some protected image. Joining all the pieces together
to recreate the original requires expensive programs like Adobe PhotoShop and
will in all the cases result in decreased picture quality.
Note that the code used to display the images is encrypted using the award winning
HTML Guardian's technology , worldwide recognized as a standard in website protection.
Note that the enchanced
image protection
provided by Image Guardian is fully functional only in the Enterprise edition
of the program. In the free Personal edition and in the Professional edition
the Image Guardian functionality is limited. It is, however, sufficient for testing purposes.
