Deepfake Removalfor Fake AI Images, Video & Audio

Often, yes. The right route depends on the content. Fake non-consensual intimate imagery is covered by the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act, which requires covered platforms to remove it within 48 hours of a valid request; Google runs a dedicated process for fake explicit imagery; and a DMCA notice can add a route where the deepfake was built from a photo or video you own. For fabricated non-explicit video or audio, removal runs through platform policy, defamation or right-of-publicity routes, and for sites outside U.S. reach we escalate to hosts and de-index. We use the strongest available combination, and the first call shows what applies to you.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act is a federal law that makes it illegal to publish non-consensual intimate imagery, explicitly including AI-generated deepfakes, and requires covered online platforms to remove such content within 48 hours of a valid request from the person depicted, and to make reasonable efforts to remove known copies. Its removal requirement is now in full effect. It gives victims of fake explicit imagery a fast, defined path to removal that did not exist a couple of years ago.

Yes. Every case is handled confidentially from the first call, and we work in a way that minimizes further exposure rather than drawing attention to the content. You never need to send us the image. If explicit imagery is involved, adults can also use StopNCII, a free tool that creates a digital fingerprint of the image on your own device so participating platforms can block it without the file ever leaving your control.

For removals, there is no upfront fee to start, and you pay only after the content is confirmed removed. We scope the work with you first so you know what we are pursuing and what it involves. The free tools on this page (StopNCII, NCMEC's Take It Down, Google's removal form) cost nothing whether or not you work with us.

Preserve evidence first: save URLs, take screenshots, and note dates, because you'll want this record even as the content is removed. Do not argue in comments, contact the poster directly, or pay any demand. Then get help. Report the content to the platform where it appears. If you're under 18 or the images are of a minor, report to NCMEC's CyberTipline and use its Take It Down service. If you're being threatened with release, that is sextortion: stop responding, do not pay, and report it to the FBI at ic3.gov or local law enforcement. Adults can register explicit images with StopNCII.org. We walk you through all of this on the first call.

In many cases, yes. Removing content at the source is only half the job. We file to de-index the offending URLs from Google Search and Google Images so they stop surfacing when someone looks for you, and we pursue duplicates and re-uploads across mirror and repost sites. Google's policy for fake explicit imagery is the clearest route, and for non-explicit fakes we match the content to the Google policy that fits.

That's common with synthetic media, and it's why we don't treat removal as a one-time action. We pursue known copies and mirrors in parallel and recheck after the initial takedown. If a copy resurfaces at a new address, tell us and we assess the fastest way to address it. For explicit images, a StopNCII hash helps participating platforms block re-uploads automatically. The TAKE IT DOWN Act also obligates covered platforms to make reasonable efforts to remove known identical copies, which reinforces this work.

Yes. Alongside individuals targeted by fake explicit imagery, we help executives and companies hit by deepfake impersonation, fabricated videos, cloned-voice scams, and fake ads that misuse a leader's likeness. The removal toolkit overlaps, and we work alongside your legal and communications teams where you want a coordinated response. Fraud losses belong with your bank and the FBI at ic3.gov.
