Pixel Sentinel Image Protection Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Pixel Sentinel keeps your photos and artwork yours. Your real image is shown only on your own sites. Everyone else gets a scrambled copy with your name on it: people who use “Save image as”, other websites that hotlink it, image search, and AI scrapers.
This plugin connects your WordPress site to your Pixel Sentinel account, so you don’t have to paste code:
- The loader added for you on pages with protected images, with the tags that ask search engines and AI crawlers to leave your images alone.
- A Protected image block. Pick a picture from your Pixel Sentinel library, add alt text and a caption, and publish.
- A shortcode for the classic editor and page builders:
[pixelsentinel id="IMAGE_ID" alt="…"]. - A check that your site is approved, with a button to approve it.
- Settings that keep common plugins out of the way: Jetpack’s Site Accelerator, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache and Cloudflare Rocket Loader are told to leave the loader and your protected images alone.
You need a Pixel Sentinel account: pixelsentinel.net.
What it can’t protect
Pictures in the Media Library, featured images and galleries are uploaded to WordPress and served by your site, so they don’t pass through Pixel Sentinel. Use Protected image blocks for the pictures that matter. Screenshots can’t be blocked on any website; large views carry an invisible watermark so a screenshot can be traced. See what Pixel Sentinel can and can’t do.
External service
This plugin uses the Pixel Sentinel service, run by Pixel Sentinel LLC:
- Nothing is sent to or loaded from Pixel Sentinel until you connect your account under Settings Pixel Sentinel. Activating the plugin contacts no server.
- Once connected, pages that show a Protected image block or shortcode load the loader script from
argus.pixelsentinel.net, and visitors’ browsers fetch protected images from it. Other pages load nothing from it. That’s how the real picture reaches your visitors. Pixel Sentinel records each view’s page, a shortened network address and the browser, to make leaks traceable and to show your traffic report. Mention this in your privacy policy. - Your site calls the Pixel Sentinel API with the client ID and secret you enter, to list your images and check your approved sites.
