Try with Examples

Simulate and Deploy Anti-Hotlink Protection

Hotlinking (bandwidth theft) can be costly and damaging to your brand. Our simulator helps you prepare protected versions of your images with dynamic overlays and warning banners.

Hotlink Deterrence

Automatically add warning banners or overlays that inform users the image is being hotlinked. This discourages unauthorized usage and protects your assets.

Domain Watermarking

Embed your source domain directly into the image. This ensures that even if the image is shared elsewhere, the origin is always visible and credited.

Bulk Preparation

Prepare entire asset libraries for your CDN or web server. Apply consistent protection styles across hundreds of images in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is image hotlinking?

Hotlinking occurs when another website links directly to your image files on your server. This steals your bandwidth and potentially misrepresents your brand.

How does simulation help?

By preparing protected versions of your images, you can configure your server to serve these "warning" versions when it detects a hotlink request (via Referer header).

Is this tool private?

Yes. All image processing and simulation happen locally in your browser. Your source images and copyright data are never uploaded to our servers.
