Getting Your Videos Taken Down from Google Images and Search Results
It starts with a reverse image search or a friend texting you:
“Hey, did you know this shows up when I search your name?”
If you’re a premium creator, there’s nothing casual about discovering your private content indexed on Google Images or showing up as a top search result.
These leaks aren’t just breaches of privacy — they’re breaches of control. And if you care about your brand, your safety, or your digital footprint, you need them gone — fast.
First, Why Is Your Content on Google?
Google doesn’t host content directly. It indexes it.
That means:
Your leaked video or thumbnail was likely uploaded to a third-party site (forums, leak channels, NSFW blogs, etc.)
Google’s crawlers found and indexed that page — including the image or clip preview
That indexed content now appears in Google Search or Google Images, tied to your name or handle
And even if the original leak gets deleted, the preview can linger unless you take action.
Here’s What You Can Actually Do
1. Get the Source Taken Down
You can’t “delete” something from Google.
But if you get the original page removed, Google will eventually de-index it.
This means sending a DMCA notice to the website owner or their hosting provider, requesting immediate takedown.
(Takedowns AI does this in bulk, across multiple sites at once — including hard-to-reach ones like .ru or .onion domains.)
2. Submit a Google Removal Request
Once the source is down — or even if it’s still up but legally infringing — head here:
🔗 Google Content Removal Tool
You’ll need:
The exact search query that shows your content
The URL of the image, video, or search result
A brief explanation (i.e. “Non-consensual content of myself was posted without permission”)
Evidence that you own the rights or are personally identifiable
This process isn’t instant, but Google does comply, especially with sensitive or personal imagery.
Common Mistakes Creators Make
Not documenting everything (screenshots + timestamps = power)
Only reporting to Google, without removing the hosting site
Using vague language — be specific: “This is a leaked video from my paid subscription platform. I am the individual in the content.”
Waiting too long, which allows the content to get indexed by even more platforms

Your Face, Your Content, Your Rules
If someone leaked your videos, indexed your image without consent, or dragged your name into spaces you never agreed to — that’s not just annoying. That’s a violation.
Removing it is your right.
And it shouldn’t take days of legal research to make it happen.
Take back your search results.
