Security

Honest protection for client previews

PixoProof layers deterrence and access control to reduce casual leakage — with transparent limits.

Dynamic Watermarks

Preview images can include client-specific watermark overlays so shared screenshots carry identifiable ownership markers.

Client-specific Protection

Each client opens a gallery with their own email and the gallery PIN, so access, watermarks and activity are tracked per client.

Screenshot Deterrence

In web browsers, screenshot shortcuts, right-click and dragging are caught and photos blur when the tab loses focus. That deters capture; it cannot block it.

Android FLAG_SECURE

The Android client can use FLAG_SECURE to block screenshots and screen recording in supported gallery views.

iOS Protection

The iOS app uses iOS secure-content protection to hide gallery photos from screenshots and screen recordings, and alerts you when a client takes a screenshot.

Secure Media Delivery

Signed, time-limited URLs serve media over HTTPS with access checks on every request.

Limitations

What protection cannot guarantee

We believe in setting accurate expectations. No gallery platform can promise perfect prevention. Our full Security & Data Retention Policy is published on the legal pages.

  • No solution can guarantee 100% prevention of screen capture — determined users with external cameras or modified devices may still copy content.
  • Web browsers do not expose the same screenshot blocking APIs as native mobile apps.
  • Watermarks deter casual sharing but do not cryptographically lock image files.
  • Protection applies to preview and delivery flows configured in PixoProof; downloaded originals depend on your album settings.
