SmartFrame is an online image delivery service and form of digital restrictions management that attempts to prevent viewers from downloading or copying the images it serves, and to discourage them from taking screenshots of such images. It is sold by SmartFrame Technologies, founded in 2015, who describe its methodology as "image streaming".[1][2][3][4] The DRM can be bypassed by end users.[5]
