Free EU intimate image notice generator

Fill in the form, and the generator writes a notice under Article 16 of the EU Digital Services Act in your own name, explaining why the images are illegal content. You copy it, download it or open it in your email, and you send it yourself. You never upload the images.

Reviewed and approved by Chris, founder of Adult Model Protection. Last reviewed .

Every hosting service offered to people in the EU must let anyone report illegal content and must handle the notice in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner. Sharing intimate images of a person without consent, including AI-made images, is an offence in Member States that have already legislated, and Directive (EU) 2024/1385 requires every Member State to make it one by 14 June 2027. Publishing such images also processes your personal data, which you can object to. If you know the article of your national law, the generator quotes it; otherwise the notice rests on the Directive and on your data.

The generator also writes a follow-up for a service that has not decided, and an escalation to its hosting provider. Nothing you type is sent to us or stored: the notice is put together in your browser.

Adult Model Protection is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. This tool fills in the text from what you enter; you send it yourself and you are responsible for it and for the statements in it. Never send or upload the images themselves. If you are in danger, contact your local emergency services first.
If the person in the images is under 18, or the images were taken before they turned 18, report it to the NCMEC CyberTipline and use Take It Down to block the images; Adult Model Protection serves adults only. If you have the images themselves, adults can also block them on participating platforms with StopNCII.org, and if someone is threatening to share images of you, do not send them anything and read our sextortion help first. If you are struggling, you do not have to deal with this alone: in the US call or text 988 (988 Lifeline) or the CCRI Crisis Helpline; in the UK, the Revenge Porn Helpline; in the EU, 112 in an emergency. Sharing intimate images without consent is a crime in many places: you can report it to the police. All of these are free.

Step by step

  1. Collect the links

    Copy the exact address of every page or file that shows the images. Do not download, screenshot or send the images themselves.

  2. Find the reporting channel

    Look for "Report illegal content", "DSA" or "Notice and action" in the service's footer or legal pages. Large services usually have a form; others give an email address.

  3. Create your notice

    Fill in the form below, read the statement and sign it by typing your name. Paste it into the service's form, or copy, download or email it.

  4. Keep the confirmation

    A service must confirm receipt when you give an email address, and tell you its decision and how to challenge it. If nothing happens, send the follow-up, then the escalation to the host.

What an Article 16 notice contains

Article 16(2) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 lists four elements. The generator puts each one in your notice:

  • A sufficiently substantiated explanation of why the content is illegal: that the images are intimate images of you, real or made with AI, published without your consent, an offence under national law where you can name it, and a processing of your personal data you do not consent to.
  • The exact electronic location of the content: the exact URLs.
  • Your name and email address.
  • A statement confirming your bona fide belief that the information and allegations in the notice are accurate and complete.

Who can use this route

  • You are the person shown, or made to appear, in the images, and you are an adult. If the person is under 18, use the NCMEC routes in the box above.
  • Someone can send it on your behalf. In the form, choose that you act for the person and give their name.
  • The service is offered to people in the EU, wherever the provider is established.
Images you made and sold yourself are usually a copyright matter, not this route. Copies of your own content are removed with a copyright notice. EU copyright notice generator
Who sees your notice: when the service removes the images it tells the person who posted them why, and it may share your identity with them where strictly necessary. Use the name and email address you want them to see.

Who to send it to

Send it to the service where the images are, through the reporting channel it must provide under Article 16. When the service does not respond, find who hosts it: a hosting lookup of the domain shows the hosting provider or the network behind it, and many sites sit behind a CDN such as Cloudflare, which forwards abuse reports to the host. The hosting provider is a hosting service too, so the same rules apply to it.

Images in Google or Bing results? Both have a separate route for intimate images, and our guides walk through their forms. Google intimate-image removal guide

What happens next

The service has to handle your notice in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner and tell you its decision without undue delay, with the ways to challenge it (Article 16(5) and (6)). Whether the images are illegal under the law of the country concerned is a question of national law; a lawyer can advise you, and the police can take a criminal complaint.

If someone is threatening to share images of you, do not send them anything or pay. Our sextortion page explains the first steps and where to get help, and StopNCII.org can block the images on participating platforms if you have them. Sextortion help

Many people prefer not to deal with these sites themselves. We send the requests as your representative and check that the pages are gone. See deepfake removal

Frequently asked questions

Is this generator free?

Yes. You need no account and pay nothing. You fill in the form, and you send the notice yourself.

Do you see or keep what I type?

No. The notice is put together in your browser and nothing you type is sent to Adult Model Protection or stored. Our analytics record that a notice was created, copied, downloaded or opened in email, and on which page, and the generator is excluded from session replays. Never upload the images anywhere in this tool; it has no place for them.

Does it cover deepfakes?

Directive (EU) 2024/1385 requires Member States to criminalise producing or manipulating images that make it appear as though a person is engaged in sexually explicit activities, and then making them accessible to the public without that person's consent, where that is likely to cause serious harm. The generator lets you say whether the images are real, AI-made or altered, or both.

Does the site have to be in the EU?

No. The Digital Services Act applies to services offered to people in the EU, wherever the provider is established.

Can I also ask for my personal data to be erased?

The GDPR gives you a right to erasure of your personal data, and an image of you is personal data. That is a separate request to the service; a lawyer or your national data protection authority can advise you.
