Free TAKE IT DOWN Act removal request generator

Fill in the form, and the generator writes a removal request under the TAKE IT DOWN Act in your own name, with what the law asks for. 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 .

Since 19 May 2026, a covered platform (a public website or app that mainly hosts content posted by its users, or whose regular business is publishing non-consensual intimate images) must offer a way to request the removal of an intimate image of you published without your consent, and must remove it within 48 hours of a valid request, with reasonable efforts to remove known identical copies. The Federal Trade Commission enforces that duty.

The generator also writes a follow-up for a platform that has not acted, and an escalation to its hosting provider. Nothing you type is sent to us or stored: the request 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 where to send it

    Many platforms have a dedicated form for intimate-image reports; look for "report", "safety" or "TAKE IT DOWN" in the footer or help pages. Otherwise use their abuse, trust and safety or legal email.

  3. Create your request

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

  4. Track the 48 hours

    Keep the confirmation and note the date. If the images are still up after 48 hours, send the follow-up, and you can report the platform to the FTC. If the platform ignores you, send the escalation to its host.

What a valid request contains

Section 3 of the Act lists what a request needs. The generator puts each one in yours:

  • A physical or electronic signature of you, or of a person acting on your behalf. A typed signature such as /Your Name/ is an electronic signature.
  • Identification of the intimate image and enough information for the platform to find it: the exact URLs.
  • A brief statement that you have a good faith belief that the image was published without your consent (for a fake, that it was made and published without your consent).
  • Contact information, so the platform can reach you: your name and email; address and phone are optional.

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, or the images were taken before they turned 18, use the NCMEC routes in the box above instead.
  • Someone can send it on your behalf, at your request. In the form, choose that you act for the person and give their name.
  • The images are intimate or sexually explicit, and they were published without your consent. Real images, AI-made or altered images (deepfakes), or both.
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. DMCA notice generator
Who sees your request: the site may forward it, with your name and email, to the person who posted the images. Use the name and email address you want them to see.

Who to send it to

Send the first request to the platform that shows the images. If it has a form for these reports, use the form and paste the generated text where it asks for details. When the platform does not act, 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 has its own abuse form. The host is not the covered platform, so the escalation asks it to act under its own acceptable use policy.

What happens next

A covered platform must remove the image within 48 hours and make reasonable efforts to remove identical copies. The Act itself gives you no right to sue the platform: if it does not act, you can report it to the FTC through its complaint site. A separate federal law, 15 U.S.C. § 6851, lets a person sue over the disclosure of a real intimate image, but it does not cover commercial pornographic content unless it was produced by force, fraud, misrepresentation or coercion, so it rarely helps a creator with their own content; talk to a lawyer about your case.

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 request yourself.

Do you see or keep what I type?

No. The request is put together in your browser and nothing you type is sent to Adult Model Protection or stored. Our analytics record that a request 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?

The Act's removal duty covers an intimate visual depiction of an identifiable individual published without consent, and the FTC describes it as covering real or fake images. The generator lets you say whether the images are real, AI-made or altered, or both.

Does the platform have to be in the US?

The Act is US law and applies to covered platforms as the Act defines them. Many platforms outside the US also accept these requests. For a service offered in the EU or the UK, our EU and UK routes fit the law there.

Can I use a stage name?

You can give the name the pages use for you, so the platform knows which images are meant. The signature and contact details should let the platform reach you; some platforms ask for a legal name before they act.

What if the platform asks for a photo of my ID or for the images?

Some platforms ask for identity checks. Send only what you are comfortable with and never through this tool. Do not send the intimate images themselves: the URLs are enough for a request.
