To help remove explicit content online, visit Take It Down. If you have explicit images of you, that were taken when you were a minor. This anonymous tool allows you to scan and transform your photo or video into a unique digital fingerprint (called a hash value). This transmits the information to participating platforms who detect and remove nude or sexual images of minors. Your image never leaves your device or gets stored anywhere.
If You Are Over 18 in the images, please report to the FBI’s IC3 and consider using StopNCII.org—a free tool to help adults remove non-consensual intimate images.
If you are a survivor of CSAM, CST, or other related crimes and are in need of legal support please contact legal@ncmec.org.
