Bing's results reach further than bing.com. Bing's copyright form covers links "appearing in Bing, or provided by Bing via Yahoo", Microsoft's help covers "Bing and Copilot", and DuckDuckGo says it largely sources its links and images from Bing. So when a copy of your content shows up in Bing, it can also show up in those places.

Many guides talk about "the Bing content removal tool" as if it were one form for everything. It is not. Microsoft has separate routes for copyright, for intimate images shared without consent, for privacy requests in Europe, and for pages that are already gone. Picking the right one is most of the work. This guide explains each route, what it asks for, and what a removal from Bing does and does not do.

Adult Model Protection is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.

Which Bing Route Fits Your Case

  • Your own content, copied without permission: Bing's copyright form (Notices of Infringement). It works under the US DMCA and covers web, image and video results.
  • Intimate images of you shared without consent, real or AI-generated: Microsoft's "Report A Concern" page for non-consensual intimate imagery. Microsoft says its policy applies the same way to real and synthetic images, and that you or a representative can report (Microsoft, May 2026).
  • Results for searches on your name, if you live in Europe: Bing's EU privacy request form. Our right to be forgotten guide covers when that route applies.
  • A page that is gone or has changed, but still shows in Bing: the Content Removal Tool in Bing Webmaster Tools. Microsoft's help says to use it when content is no longer accessible or has been updated; if the page is still live, you contact the site owner (Bing Webmaster help).
  1. Find the exact URLs. Search Bing Images for your content. For each result, save the page URL (where the image appears) and the direct image URL, with the date you found it. Bing says it can only remove content if it has the URLs for both the source page and the matching source image; a homepage or domain is not enough.
  2. Open the copyright form. Choose the result type (web, image or video).
  3. Describe the work. The form asks for the name of the copyright owner, the type of work and a description. You can attach an example of the original if you can; there is no proof-of-ownership field and no ID upload.
  4. Add the URLs. For many results, the form takes a bulk text file of up to 1,000 URLs, with the page URL and image URL on each line, separated by a tab.
  5. Complete the statements and sign. You state in good faith that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law (for example, that it is not fair use), a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner. Anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice can be liable for damages (17 U.S.C. 512(f)).
  6. Check the results later. Search again for the same URLs after some time. Microsoft does not publish a processing time for these requests.

The form only accepts notices from a copyright owner or an authorized agent. Note its warning: the information you submit may be shared with third parties or the public, including the person you report. When our takedown team files for you, the request goes in under AMP's name as your agent, and the rights holder named is your model (stage) name, which may be shared in the same way.

If the image sits on a website you control, use the Block URLs feature in Bing Webmaster Tools instead. Microsoft says it hides a page or directory for up to 90 days; to remove it for good, take the page down (a 404 or 410 status) or add a NOINDEX tag, and Bing can drop it after its next crawl (Bing Webmaster help).

Five Bing removal routes: the copyright form for your own content, with page and image URLs and up to 1,000 URLs per bulk file; Microsoft's Report A Concern form and StopNCII for intimate images and fakes; the EU privacy form for name searches in Europe; the Content Removal Tool only for pages that are gone or changed; and a takedown notice to the site or host to remove the page itself.

Bing has separate routes for copyright, intimate images, EU privacy and outdated pages.

Intimate Images and Deepfakes: Free Routes First

If intimate images of you were shared without your consent, or someone made AI-generated sexual images of you, start with the free routes:

  • Microsoft's intimate-image report. Use "Report A Concern" for non-consensual intimate imagery; it covers real and AI-generated images, and you do not need to own the copyright of a fake made of you.
  • StopNCII.org. It creates a hash (a digital fingerprint) of an image on your own device, so the image never leaves it. Microsoft says it has piloted the use of these hashes in Bing since September 2024 (Microsoft). Never send an unpublished intimate image to anyone, including us.
  • Save the link and the date of each result. Do not download or keep copies of the images.
  • If someone is threatening you, do not pay. Our sextortion help guide covers the first steps and the official places to report.

In the United States, since 19 May 2026 covered platforms must remove a reported intimate image within 48 hours of a valid request under the TAKE IT DOWN Act; the Act defines which platforms are covered. Our TAKE IT DOWN Act guide explains what it does and does not cover. For fakes, see our deepfake removal page.

When the Content Removal Tool Is Not Working

The most common cause is a page that is still live. The Content Removal Tool is for pages that are gone or have changed. If the page still shows your content, the tool is the wrong route: use the copyright form, which accepts live infringing URLs, and send a takedown notice to the site or its host so the page itself comes down. Sending the same live URL to the Content Removal Tool again will not help.

What a Bing Removal Does Not Do

A Bing removal takes a result out of Bing's search pages; it does not delete the page. Microsoft's help says: "Search engines cannot delete content directly from any website. You must contact the site owner." The copy stays online until the site or its host removes it, and it can still appear in other search engines.

A removal from Bing should also apply to Yahoo results provided by Bing and to much of DuckDuckGo, but check each. Google is separate: Google can only remove results from its own Search, and you file there separately. Google says its average processing time for Search removal requests through its web form is approximately 6 hours (Google); Microsoft publishes no figure. Our Google image removal guide covers the Google side.

Keeping Results Down

Copies may be re-uploaded elsewhere and show up in Bing under a new URL. Each new URL needs its own request. Keep a simple list of what you reported, when, and the result. If we file for you, your dashboard lists each request and its status; see our tracking takedowns documentation.

It also helps to keep your official pages current, with the same name across your sites and profiles, so searches for your name find them. That does not remove anything; it gives searchers your own pages to find.

Filing Yourself or With AMP

You can file every Bing form yourself, for free. What AMP adds is the work around the forms. On paid plans, our team runs regular scans of Google, Bing and Yandex and of more than 500 known leak and piracy sites, uses your content assets for reverse image searches, and searches by hand. A person on our takedown team checks every request before it is sent. We file search engine de-indexing requests and the takedown notices to the sites themselves, check afterwards whether each page is gone, follow up when it is not, and send a new notice when a copy reappears in a later scan (Essentials: up to 100 platform notices a month; Luxe and higher: unlimited). When a site ignores a notice, we escalate to its host, registrar, internet service provider, Cloudflare or payment processor. Results vary.

Unlimited search engine de-indexing is included from the Essentials plan; intimate-image reports are on the Luxe and higher plans, and deepfake removal on Glamour and higher. If personal details such as your legal name or address appear in results, see private information removal (Luxe and higher).

FAQ

How long does Bing take to remove images?

Microsoft does not publish a processing time for copyright or intimate-image requests. Check the results again after some time, and keep a note of what you reported and when.

The source page URL and the source image URL for each result, the name of the copyright owner, a description of the work, your contact details, the good-faith, accuracy and authority statements, and your signature. The form does not ask for an ID document.

Can I remove content from Bing if it is still on the original website?

Yes, with the copyright form, which accepts live infringing URLs. The Content Removal Tool is only for pages that are gone or have changed. Either way, the page itself stays online until the site or its host removes it.

Does removing content from Bing remove it from Google?

No. Bing and Google have separate removal routes, so file with each. Our guide on Google delisting vs complete removal explains how the two fit together.

Does a Bing removal also clear DuckDuckGo, Yahoo and Copilot?

Bing's copyright form covers links provided by Bing via Yahoo, and Microsoft's help covers Bing and Copilot. DuckDuckGo says it largely sources its results from Bing, so a Bing removal should apply to much of it. Check each.

Can I remove AI-generated deepfakes of me from Bing?

Yes. Microsoft's report for non-consensual intimate imagery (Report A Concern) covers real and AI-generated images, and you do not need to own the copyright of a fake. StopNCII.org is free and creates hashes on your own device.

Can I submit bulk removal requests to Bing?

Yes. The copyright form accepts a bulk text file of up to 1,000 URLs, with the page URL and image URL on each line.
