Discourage screenshots on your link

Makes casual screenshotting harder on desktop browsers. It's a deterrent, not a guarantee — read "Good to know" below before relying on it alone.

1

Open your link's settings

Go to your document, then click Create Link (or edit an existing link).

2

Turn on "Screenshot Blocker"

In the Access Control section, flip the switch.

Screenshot Blocker toggle, off
3

That's it

There's nothing else to configure — it applies to the whole document on this link.

Screenshot Blocker toggle, on
4

Save your link

Click Create Link (or Save) at the bottom of the page like normal.

Good to know — read this first

  • No web app can truly block a screenshot — on iOS and Android, screenshotting is a native device feature with no browser-level workaround. This makes it harder on desktop browsers only.
  • For real protection, turn on Dynamic Watermark alongside this — it stamps the viewer's name and email onto every page, so a captured copy is still traceable back to them.
  • Available on Pro and Business plans.
