Prevent Screen Capture of Your Media Files with Media Padlock And Content Protection

Prevent Content Leakage of Your Media Files and PDFs with Media Padlock

Protecting your media documents or PDFs from screen captures is crucial to prevent unauthorized copying and sharing of your content. Many screen grabbers, screenshot utilities, and other screen reader software can easily capture the content of a media document or PDF. However, with Media Padlock, you can make it much more difficult for someone to leak your media files.

First of all, all media files protected with Media Padlock can only be opened in our secure viewer application. This ensures that end users cannot copy or save the media file as unprotected file, or by removing a password as in PDF password protection.

Indeed, Media Padlock provides specific content security features for your media documents or PDFs, including the use of the Windows built-in content protection feature, which stops screenshot utilities. This feature allows applications to protect their own onscreen window content from being captured or copied through screenshot utilities. Without protection, the main window can be easily captured, allowing anyone to make unauthorized copies of your content.

Without protection, the main window can be captured:

With protection, if you attempt to capture a screenshot of the media, such as using the Windows Snap tool or the PRINT SCREEN key, or record the screen with video recording software, the document will turn black:

Additionally, Media Padlock lets you create a blacklist of software programs that are not allowed to run when your media documents or PDFs are being read by your users. This can include screen capture utilities, screen recorders, screen grabbers, file monitoring software, and more.

By implementing these security features, you can protect your media documents or PDFs from unauthorized copying and sharing, safeguarding your valuable content and intellectual property.
