Saving pictures from a website is a fairly simple process. Typically, all it takes is to right-click an image and save it to your computer.

Many pages fight against unauthorized image sharing by disabling the right-click function. Fortunately, there is a way around this.
If you're looking for a way to save an image while right-clicking is disabled, you've come to the right place. This article will share helpful tips to help you bypass the blocks of Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Save image when right click is disabled in Firefox
Firefox is a highly customizable browser and allows users to change various website settings, including the right-click protection feature. The easiest way to do this is to disable JavaScript, but we'll just add a few more methods to the case.
Disable JavaScript
Most websites use JavaScript to prevent users from copying content from their pages, but a simple change allows you to do so without problems.
Just follow the steps below:
Open the webpage you want to download an image from.
Navigate to "Tools", then "Options".
Select the "Content" tab.
Uncheck the box next to "Enable JavaScript".
Reload the page. You should be able to save the image you want.
Be sure to re-enable JavaScript after you have finished downloading the content you need Otherwise, you risk breaking your web page.
Temporarily disable the feature
Another way to save images when right-clicking is disabled in Firefox is to change the settings on the configuration page. This will temporarily disable the right-click feature.
Right-click the image you want to save.
Press "Shift".
The context menu will appear, although it should normally be blocked.
Some sites will not allow their visitors to save or download images for certain purposes. Depending on your intentions, it may be illegal to download protected and copyrighted images without the proper permission of the website owner. Website owners usually disable the "right-click" option and block their images from being copied. But if you think this is valid, follow the steps below to save images from copy protected websites to your local disk.
1. Save images from copy protected websites using page sources
Right-click anywhere on the webpage, and then click the "View page source" option from the drop-down menu. Opens a new window with html coding of specific webpage. If the right-click option is disabled, use Ctrl-U to open the source of the page. Read this tutorial to see the source of the page in Firefox.
Press Ctrl-F key to open the search window. Do a search for ".png, .jpg, .gif, .jpeg" in this extension to find the URL of the image. You can find the exact image by looking at the image name before the extension (eg: summer.png).
Once you've found the right image, then copy the specific image URL. Open a new tab or window and paste the URL in the address bar. Press ENTER and you should find the image displayed on the screen.
Right click on the image and select "Save Image As ..." from the drop down menu. Select the destination folder where you want to save the image to your local drive and click "Save".
2. Save images from copy protected websites using PrintScr
The above method will not work for Flash websites, so copy the flash images with the screen shot using the print screen button.
Open the site where you want to download the images and zoom the image by pressing Ctrl- + or hold down the Ctrl key and then roll the mouse button.
Press the Crtl-Alt-PrintScr button to copy the screenshot. Open Paint twice and press Ctrl-V to paste a screenshot in a window.
Crop the image from the screenshot and paste it into another paint window.
Go to "File" and select "Save as". Choose the destination folder and image format and click "Save".
