A video of you is on a porn site. Here is how to get it removed.

1. Save evidence without downloading the video

Big sites can act fast, and the evidence goes with the video. Before you report anything, write down:

1. The exact URL of every page showing the video or photos, not just the site's home page.
2. The title, the uploader's account name, the upload date and the view count if shown.
3. A screenshot of the page showing the URL, title and uploader. You can cover the image itself: what you need to prove is the post.
4. The keywords used: if the title or tags include your name, town or social media handle, note it. That is how people find you, and it strengthens your request.

Do not download the video or send it to anyone, even as "proof". For keeping evidence more generally, see our leak guide.

2. Ask each site to remove it

Almost every adult site has a content removal page, often in the footer ("Content Removal", "Report abuse", "DMCA" or "Contact"). Use it rather than comments or the site's messaging.

1. Pornhub, YouPorn, RedTube and the other Aylo sites: use the Content Removal Request form on each site. Aylo says anyone can use it, without an account, after confirming their email address, and that reported content is suspended from public view while it is reviewed. Under its 2025 settlement with the FTC, Aylo must also give you a dedicated case manager if you ask.
2. xHamster, XVideos, XNXX and other sites: look for the removal or report link in the footer, and use the report button under the video. Pick the most precise reason offered: non-consensual content, intimate content shared without consent, or impersonation.
3. In your request, say you are the person shown, that you did not consent to it being shared (or that it is fake), and list every URL. In the US, say it is a request under the TAKE IT DOWN Act: since May 19, 2026, the FTC enforces the 48-hour removal duty, which also covers AI-generated "digital forgeries" and known identical copies. Our takedown request template gives you the wording.
4. If you filmed the video yourself (a selfie video, creator content), you own the copyright, and a DMCA notice is often handled faster. See OnlyFans leak removal.
5. Keep every confirmation and case number. If nothing happens, follow up. In the EU, the Digital Services Act requires platforms to offer an internal appeal.

3. Block re-uploads with StopNCII

StopNCII.org creates a digital fingerprint (hash) of the video or photo on your own device: the file never leaves it and nobody sees it. Partner sites use the hash to detect and block matching copies.

• Pornhub and XVideos are listed as partners, along with OnlyFans, Reddit, Meta's apps, TikTok, Snapchat and X (list checked in October 2026). Check the current list: a site that is not on it does not receive your hash.
• Who can use it: the person shown, who has the file, and who was over 18 in it. Videos (mp4, mov and more) and AI-generated images are accepted.
• Write down your case number and PIN: StopNCII cannot recover them.

StopNCII blocks copies; it does not replace the removal requests in section 2.

4. Get it out of Google

A page can stay in search results after the site removes the video, and copies often show up when someone searches your name.

1. Use Google's form for intimate images: it covers real images shared without consent and fake sexual images. You or an authorized representative can file it.
2. Google says it looks for and removes duplicates of reported sexual content (you can opt out in the form).
3. If your name is linked to porn sites for no reason, Google has a separate option for that. See remove a Google result.

5. Find the copies and mirror sites

A video on a big site is often copied by dozens of aggregator and mirror sites, which scrape content automatically, sometimes keeping the same title.

• Search the exact title, your name and your handles, in quotes, on Google and Bing.
• For each copy, send the same request as in section 2. If a site has no form, contact its hosting provider: in the EU, hosting providers must offer a way to report illegal content.
• If a site never answers, at least get it removed from Google, so it becomes far harder to find.

If the video is fake, see our fake nude deepfake guide. If someone asks for money or more images to take it down, that is blackmail: see our sextortion guide.

6. Report it to the police

• United States: report to your local police. If a platform ignores a valid TAKE IT DOWN request, you can report it to the FTC at TakeItDown.ftc.gov. The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative runs a crisis helpline for victims.
• United Kingdom: call 101, or 999 in an emergency. Sharing an intimate image without consent, or threatening to, is an offence in England and Wales (Sexual Offences Act 2003, section 66B), including images that only appear to show you. The Revenge Porn Helpline supports adults in the UK and helps with removal.
• European Union: report to your national police. You can also complain to your country's Digital Services Coordinator if a site ignores its DSA duties.

7. What the law says

In the US, the TAKE IT DOWN Act makes it a federal crime to knowingly publish non-consensual intimate images, real or AI-generated, and requires covered platforms to remove them within 48 hours of a valid request; most states also have their own laws. In England and Wales, section 66B of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 applies. In France, sharing a sexual image without consent carries up to two years in prison and a €60,000 fine (Criminal Code, article 226-2-1).
