Can I make an image impossible to be copied?

[Michael5656]

Hi what's up, this is my first thread here.. I was looking on google for an answer and just like that I came across with blackhat )

Anyway, it would be really great if someone can help me here .. So I want to send a photo via email and the thing that I am looking for is that this photo to be impossible to download( into the computer the receiver get the email..), impossible to be re-sent to another persone or copy paste it and so on ..
Basically if I am to send a photo via email to you I want to make sure that you will never be able to show that photo to someone else but you... is that even possible?

 

[Ababba2]

I don't think so, but even if it would be possible, the one who receive the photo can still make a screenshot or a photo from their phone

 

[kptpiotr]

I don't think so, even if he wouldn't be able to download it he can always take a screenshot or a photo with his phone. You can only send it with some app like Snapchat or so

 

[redjebo]

google self destruct email or self destruct photo, there are several solutions but screen-shooting the content is still possible

maybe combine some of those solutions with sending blurred photo that implies just enough of what's in it

 

[terrycody]

Yes its possible.

1) make image as web.p
2) use tricks like: youcantdownloadthisimage.online

This is absolutely wrong,

1) webp can be converted to any format you want
2) it's a trick that will work only for inexperienced people

Basically, if you don't want your data to be copied, don't publish it online.

Impossible.

Even with Snapchat, you can download or save images.
Actually, there is no way to protect an image on the web.
Even on Signal, there is a trick to bypass security and save text and image

 

[EmailMaster]

The only way is to not even create it

 

[lucky.sparks]

Gettin' ready to bypass your image security settings....

If people want to copy your photo, they will simply use screenshot function

 

[GenesisOne]

Maybe you can attach a bomb device triggered right after the image has been seen

 

[Michael5656]

Oh so many answers, thank you
I think it would be the best to blurred it and prevent a screenshot, as you said... only if is possible to unblur an image... If that's the case what should I do now?
Some web recommendations before having a search on google at some image blurring sites?

just send them a low res one, and if they want to pay you the money for the high res, then ok,
or whatever it is your trying to do

 

[RottenApple]

Send them a 420p video of the image shown on your computer's screen

Could still screenshot and crop the image out of the video but it would be crappy as hell.

 

[Elie101]

As long as they can take a screenshot of their screen, they can get the image.

 

[Beldo]

Even webp canbe screenshoted

I think this is the best solution so far, you just send a video of the picture to an email and write text. Done

Just water mark the crap out of it

When i do YT thumbails I always watermark coz i upscale it and make it HQ. Well just trying to make it look best out of all there. Its really easy to recolor image and make it unique without pretty much any effort and use on Youtube again.
Make a script in python that will selfdestruct the image after closing it or pressing any key preventing screenshoting but not screen recording. You can also video call and show the image on screen or something.
