Security

Comprehensive image, gallery and category security

Password Protection

Lock down galleries with secure passwords, or for even greater security, force your customers to login before they can even see any available public or secure galleries.

Watermarking

Upload your own logo (or use one of our pre-made graphics) and dynamically brand all of your images without affecting your originals.

Right-Click Disabled

It may look like it’s working, but any attempted theft will only save an invisible pixel called “kittens.gif”. Right click protection now covers all images, thumbnails and slider animations.

Safe and Secure with SSL

Provide your website visitors with peace of mind by ensuring that their website browsing experience is safe, private and secure.

Site wide SSL is standard with all Fotomerchant websites, including websites using a Custom Domain. A free SSL certificate is issued to all Fotomerchant websites on all of our plans.

Streamlined Workflow

We do everything we can to simplify your workflow

Fast Uploads

The new Fotomerchant uploading and processing engine now uploads your photos 250% faster – as fast as your internet connection allows! Plus, the new drag-and-drop uploader allows you to quickly add images into a gallery on the fly.

Image Resizing

Upload your highest resolution photos and our lightning-fast image processors will take care of the rest, dynamically generating your website preview and thumbnail images on the fly. Alternatively, upload lower resolution files and swap them for higher resolution images only once they are sold.

Hot Key Magic

Power users will love the new keyboard shortcuts (hot keys) for managing your photo libraries. Single stoke keys can select all, delete, move, tag, preview and quickly set visiblility.

Benefit from having your customers share their love for your photos but with security on your terms.
