Leaked and Intimate Content Removal
If intimate images or video of you have been published without your consent, there are free tools that work, and there is paid work that free tools do not cover. This page explains both, so you can decide what you actually need.
Start with the free routes below. They are genuinely effective for the platforms they cover, and you do not need us to use them.

Encrypted intake. Your material is seen only by the people working your case.
Start Here, The Free Tools
We are listing these first because they work, and because a service that hides them from you is not one you should trust.
StopNCII.org
Free, run by the UK charity SWGfL, and used by around twenty platforms.
You select the image on your own device. A digital fingerprint, called a hash, is generated on your device. The image itself never leaves your phone or computer and is never uploaded to anyone. The hash is shared with participating platforms, which use it to find and block matching uploads.
Participating platforms include Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Reddit, Snap, X, Bluesky, OnlyFans, Pornhub, RedGIFs, Patreon, xVideos and Microsoft, which covers Bing.
Requirements: you must be the person in the image, you must have the file, the content must be nude or sexual, and you must have been over 18 when the image was made. You cannot submit on behalf of someone else. You get a case number and PIN, which cannot be recovered if you lose them.
Deepfakes are covered. If the image is synthetic but depicts you, you can hash it.
Take It Down, from NCMEC
Free, run by the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, at takeitdown.ncmec.org.
This is the route if you were under 18 when the image or video was made, including if you are an adult now. It is anonymous, and it works the same way through hashing.
Important: NCMEC instructs you to submit from the device the image is already on, and not to ask anyone to send you the image in order to submit it. Participating platforms include Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Snap, OnlyFans, Pornhub, YouTube and others.
If a minor is involved in any way, this is a matter for law enforcement first. Report it to your local police, and in the US to NCMEC's CyberTipline.
Google's removal request
Free, and separate from the above. Google is not a StopNCII partner, so hashing does not cover Google Search.
Google's policy is called Remove personal sexual content from Google Search. It covers real intimate content published without consent, content you originally consented to that is now published elsewhere, fake and AI-generated sexual content depicting you, and results that link your name to explicit material with no connection to you.
There is now a removal flow inside Google Image Search itself. You can batch several images into one request, flag whether content is AI-generated, and opt into ongoing protection that removes future duplicates automatically.
If you are in the UK
The Revenge Porn Helpline, run by SWGfL, supports adults in the UK, free and confidentially. They report a removal rate above ninety percent on the images they take on.
What the Free Tools Do Not Cover
This is where paid work becomes relevant, and it is worth understanding the gap before you spend anything.
- Non-participating sites. StopNCII reaches roughly twenty platforms. Take It Down reaches about a dozen. Dedicated leak forums, image boards, self-hosted sites and mirror networks participate in neither. Most of the open web is outside both systems.
- Altered copies. Hash matching finds near-identical files. Crop the image, apply a filter, or re-encode a video and the original hash may no longer match. Re-uploaders do this routinely. Each variant has to be found and hashed separately, and you have to possess it to hash it.
- Content already circulating. Hashing is mainly preventive against future uploads. NCMEC states directly that platforms have limited ability to remove what was posted in the past.
- The hosting site itself. Every free route stops at either a participating platform or a search index. Getting a file deleted from a host that participates in nothing requires direct abuse contact, hosting provider escalation, or legal process.
- Search engines other than Google and Bing. Each requires separate action.
- De-indexing is not deletion. Google removing a result means it no longer appears in Search. The file stays where it is and remains reachable by direct link. Google also sometimes applies only partial removal, suppressing the result for searches of your name while leaving it discoverable on other queries.
- Re-upload over time. Nothing free monitors for the content coming back.
- Acting for someone else. StopNCII does not accept third-party submissions, which blocks parents, partners and support workers.
What We Do
Our work is the part the free tools leave open.
Find every copy
Reverse image and video searching across Google Lens, Bing Visual Search, TinEye and Yandex, plus manual checking of the sites and forums where this material typically spreads. A single leak usually sits on multiple URLs by the time anyone notices.
Host and registrar takedowns
For sites with no reporting process or no response, we escalate to the hosting provider and, where necessary, the registrar and CDN. Hosts act on their own liability exposure, which is why they respond when site operators do not.
Copyright takedowns where they apply
If you took the photo or filmed the video, you own the copyright, and 17 U.S.C. 512 gives a statutory route that does not depend on anyone's goodwill. This applies to a great deal of self-produced content, including material from subscription platforms. See our DMCA takedown service.
Platform legal escalation
In the US, the TAKE IT DOWN Act has required covered platforms to operate a notice and removal process since 19 May 2026, to remove valid-request content within 48 hours, and to make reasonable efforts to find and remove known identical copies. It covers digital forgeries, so deepfakes carry the same duty. Where a platform ignores a valid request, non-compliance can be reported to the FTC.
Search de-indexing
Google and Bing removals filed for every URL, with duplicate protection enabled where the flow supports it.
Cached result clearing
Once a source URL genuinely returns an error, we push a re-crawl so the cached result and thumbnail clear in days rather than weeks.
Ongoing monitoring
Re-upload is the defining feature of these cases. reputation monitoring.
Deepfakes and AI-Generated Content
Synthetic intimate content is treated the same way as real content by most of the systems that matter.
- StopNCII accepts deepfakes for hashing where you are the person depicted.
- Google removes fake sexual content depicting you, and its removal flow lets you specify that content is AI-generated.
- In the US, the TAKE IT DOWN Act's definition of covered content expressly includes digital forgeries created or altered using software or AI.
- In the UK, creating a purported intimate image of an adult without consent, or requesting its creation, became a criminal offence on 6 February 2026 under sections inserted into the Sexual Offences Act 2003. It covers both AI generation and conventional editing, and it applies even if the image was never shared with anyone.
The practical difficulty with deepfakes is not the legal position, it is that generators produce endless variants and each variant is a new file. Monitoring matters more here than anywhere else.
How It Works
- 1
Secure intake
You send URLs through an encrypted form. We do not ask you to email images. Where a file is needed for hashing or copyright evidence, we tell you exactly why and how it is handled.
- 2
Free routes first
If StopNCII, Take It Down or Google's own form covers your situation, we tell you and help you use them. There is no reason to pay for something free.
- 3
Full search
Reverse image and video search across multiple engines, plus manual checking of known mirror and leak networks. You get the full list of what exists.
- 4
Route each URL
Copyright where you own the material, platform policy where the site has a process, TAKE IT DOWN Act request for covered US platforms, host escalation where there is no process, and legal instruments where jurisdiction supports it.
- 5
File and escalate
Notices sent, non-responses chased to the host, registrar and CDN.
- 6
De-index
Search removals filed in parallel, because they do not depend on the host cooperating.
- 7
Re-check
At intervals, because copies surface weeks and months later.
Who This Service Is For
- People whose private images or video were shared without consent, by an ex-partner or anyone else.
- Content creators whose subscription material has been leaked or pirated.
- Anyone targeted with AI-generated sexual imagery.
- People whose images were taken or recorded without their knowledge.
- Anyone being extorted with intimate material.
If you are being blackmailed, contact the police. Do not pay. Payment does not end it, and law enforcement in most countries treats sextortion seriously. We can work alongside a police report on the removal side.
Why Choose ReputationZilla
- We tell you what is free. The free tools cover a meaningful share of cases. If they cover yours, you should use them, and we will say so.
- We work the sites that participate in nothing. That is where the paid work earns its cost.
- We treat the copies as the job. One removal is rarely the whole case.
- Confidential handling. Material stays with the people working your case, and we tell you who that is and for how long it is held.
- We do not guarantee erasure. No service can remove content from the entire internet, and anyone claiming otherwise is not being honest with you at a moment when you need honesty.
Every copy found
Reverse image and video search across multiple engines, plus manual checking of known leak networks.
Free routes first
We tell you what StopNCII, Take It Down and Google cover before any paid work begins.
Re-upload watched
Ongoing reverse image checks, because copies surface weeks and months later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to send you the images?
Usually not. URLs are enough for most of the work. Hashing is done by you on your own device through StopNCII, which means the file never leaves it. Where a file is genuinely needed, for example as evidence of copyright ownership, we explain why and how it is stored.
Can you remove it from everywhere?
No. We can remove it from sites that respond to notices, from hosts that act on liability, and from search results. We cannot reach content on encrypted messaging, or files already saved to someone's device, and there are hosts that ignore everything. We will tell you which category yours falls into.
Is it worth paying if I have already used StopNCII?
It depends what is left. If the content is only on participating platforms, hashing may be enough. If it has spread to leak sites, forums or mirrors, or if it is in Google, hashing does not reach those.
I made the content myself. Does that help?
Yes, considerably. If you took the photo or filmed the video, you own the copyright, which gives you a statutory takedown route that does not rely on anyone's discretion. This applies to most self-produced subscription content.
What if I was under 18 when the image was taken?
Use NCMEC's Take It Down rather than StopNCII, and report it to law enforcement. Do not download or request the file. Tell us and we will work alongside that process.
Someone is threatening to post images unless I pay. What should I do?
Contact the police. Do not pay and do not keep negotiating. You can hash the images pre-emptively through StopNCII so that if they are uploaded to a participating platform they are blocked on arrival.
How long does removal take?
Covered US platforms operate under a 48-hour requirement for valid requests under the TAKE IT DOWN Act. Copyright takedowns typically run days to a few weeks. Search de-indexing usually takes days to weeks. Sites with no process and unresponsive hosts take longest, and some never comply.
Will the person who posted it find out I reported it?
Platforms notify account holders when content is removed for a policy breach but do not disclose who reported it. Copyright notices are different: a DMCA notice is a legal document and carries the name of the person or agent filing it.
What if it comes back?
Assume it might. Re-upload is normal in these cases. Ongoing reverse image checks are the only practical answer, which is why monitoring is part of this rather than an add-on.
Can I do this for my daughter, partner or friend?
StopNCII does not accept third-party submissions, so the hashing has to be done by the person depicted. We can act for a client on the removal and de-indexing side with their authorisation. Where the person is a minor, involve law enforcement first.
