PhotoSentry runs directly on Shopify's infrastructure. Your protection loads from the same CDN as your theme — fast, reliable, and always on.
Your protection script loads from Shopify's global CDN, not our servers. Same infrastructure that serves your theme — fast, reliable, and already cached by your visitors' browsers.
Your settings are stored directly on Shopify, so protection runs independently with zero external dependencies. It's as reliable as your theme itself.
Enable or disable protection anytime from your theme editor. One toggle in App embeds — instant on, instant off. No lock-in, no hoops to jump through.
Add PhotoSentry from the Shopify App Store. One click, no code required.
Toggle on the PhotoSentry extension in your theme editor. Your storefront is protected immediately.
Track blocked attempts, see which pages are targeted, and get insights into where threats come from with Pro analytics.
Start free. Upgrade to Pro when you need analytics and advanced protection.
PhotoSentry blocks the most common methods: right-clicking, image dragging, keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+S, Ctrl+U, etc.), and long-press saving on mobile. No solution can stop a determined attacker with screenshots, but PhotoSentry deters the vast majority of casual copying — which is where most theft happens.
No. PhotoSentry runs as a Shopify Theme App Extension — a lightweight script that loads directly from Shopify's CDN, the same infrastructure that serves your theme. It doesn't modify your images, add watermarks, or load anything from external servers. Your settings are stored on Shopify too, so there's no extra API call on each page load. Zero measurable impact on page speed.
Yes. Long-press saving is blocked on both iOS and Android browsers. The custom warning modal is fully responsive too.
Install the app, then enable it in your theme editor (Online Store → Themes → Customize → App embeds → toggle PhotoSentry on). Takes about 30 seconds. No code to write, no developer needed.
