Remove images and videos of you from search and platforms
Remove images and video from Google Images, YouTube and websites using copyright and privacy routes.
Photos and videos often do more damage than text because they are shared and indexed separately. If you own the copyright, the image was taken or shared in breach of privacy, or it breaks a platform's rules, there are established removal routes. We file with the host, the platform and the search engine.
Who this is for
- People whose photos are used without consent
- Businesses whose images or video are copied
- Anyone with a video that breaches privacy on YouTube or social platforms
Who it is not for
- Lawful news photography of public events
Routes we use
Each route is assessed before anything is filed. Strength ratings are general indications; every case turns on its facts.

How the work runs
- Eligibility reviewWe test each URL against the relevant law and platform policy before anything is filed.
- Evidence packWe build the submission: identity, context, dates, policy clauses and supporting documents.
- Submission and follow-upRequests are filed, tracked and chased. Refusals are appealed where grounds exist.
- FallbackWhere removal is refused or unavailable, we move the case to search repair.
Evidence you will need
- Original files or proof of authorship
- URLs where the media appears
What you receive
- Location map of every copy
- Filed takedowns
- Search index clean-up
- Repost monitoring
What we cannot promise
- Copies saved privately by others cannot be reached. We deal with what is published.
Frequently asked questions
Do I own a photo someone else took of me?
Usually not; the photographer owns the copyright. Privacy and platform routes may still apply.
Can you remove a YouTube video?
If it breaches YouTube's privacy guidelines, harassment policy or your copyright, yes, through YouTube's processes.
What about reposts?
We search for copies using image matching and file against each one.
Is a DMCA notice valid in the UK?
DMCA notices apply to US-based services, which include most large platforms. UK copyright law applies to UK hosts.
Will the uploader see my details?
Copyright notices can be shared with the uploader. We explain this before filing.
Is my enquiry confidential?
Yes. You can make first contact without giving your name, we sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share case details, and case files are held in restricted, encrypted storage with access limited to your case team.
