About this plugin
ru/), a copyright protection service for photos.
Every feature is turned on separately on the plugin settings page.
- Protection on upload. JPG, PNG and WEBP photos uploaded to the Media Library receive the No Copy hidden watermark and a registry record before WordPress creates thumbnails, so only the protected version is published. The file keeps its format; author fields (Artist, Copyright, IPTC By-line and similar) are preserved.
- Protection of existing photos. Photos uploaded earlier are protected by a background queue (WP-Cron) in small batches, with progress on the settings page. Photos that are already protected are skipped. The queue pauses when the account runs out of tokens and resumes after a top-up.
- Media Library status. A “No Copy” column shows the status of each photo: Protected (date and ID), Not protected (with the reason), In queue, Error. You can protect a single file or use the bulk action.
- “Protected by No Copy” badge. Add it with the [nocopy_badge] shortcode, the “No Copy badge” block, the widget, or the “Show in the site footer” option. The badge links to a public verification page with the number of registered works and the protection date. It is displayed only on your domain.
- Copy protection. Prevents saving photos with right-click and drag-and-drop. Optionally, right-click, text selection and Ctrl+S are disabled on the whole page.
- Optional WEBP conversion. Protected JPG and PNG photos can be stored as WEBP, together with their thumbnails.
If a photo is copied anyway, No Copy AI search finds the copy, and the hidden watermark and the registry record help to prove authorship.

External services
ru/), operated by the No Copy team. ru/.
- Photo protection. When a photo is protected (on upload, from the Media Library or by the queue), the image file and its file name are sent to https://dashboard.no-copy.ru/api/v1/protect.php. The protected file is returned and stored in your Media Library. The work also appears in your No Copy account.
- Account details. When you connect the API key and open the settings page, the plugin requests your account name, e-mail, plan and token balance from https://dashboard.no-copy.ru/api/v1/index.php?e=me. The request includes the plugin version, the WordPress version and the site domain.
- Site linking. When you link the site (required for the badge and copy protection), the site address is sent to https://dashboard.no-copy.ru/api/v1/site.php.
- Badge and copy protection. When these options are enabled, visitors’ browsers load the scripts https://dashboard.no-copy.ru/api/w/badge.js and https://dashboard.no-copy.ru/api/w/guard.js. The badge requests public statistics (number of works, protection date) from the same server. Once every few hours, the browser sends a request with the page address so that No Copy can confirm the code is installed. The scripts do not set cookies.
No data is sent until you enter an API key or enable the badge and copy protection.
