Help removing images · International

Take It Down

A free service that helps remove or stop the online sharing of nude, partially nude or sexually explicit images or videos taken of you before you were 18. It creates a digital fingerprint of the image on your own device, so you do not send the image to anyone, and you can stay anonymous. It works on public or unencrypted platforms that have agreed to take part.

  • Run by National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)
