Take back your image
Google Image Removal
If a harmful, private or unauthorised image of you or your business is showing in Google Images, we work to get it taken out of the results.
Private
Every image and link you send us is handled confidentially.
Policy-led
Requests lodged under Google’s own removal policies and the law.
Hands-off
A done-for-you service. You send the links, we do the rest.
What is Google image removal?
Google has policies for removing certain images from its search results, for example intimate images shared without consent, images that expose personal information, and images used in breach of someone’s rights.
We assess your images against those policies and the law, then prepare and lodge the right requests with Google and, where it helps, with the website hosting the image.
When the image is removed at the source, it can also drop out of Google. When it can’t be, a successful Google request removes it from the search results.
Illustration only. Every case is different, and Google makes the final call.
Who it’s for
- People with private or personal photos appearing in Google Images without their consent.
- Businesses whose logo, photos or products are being misused on other sites.
- Anyone whose image appears next to false or harmful content in search results.
How it works.
A done-for-you service. You show us the images, we do the work.
-
Enquire
Send us the searches and image links that concern you. Everything is kept confidential.
-
We assess your case
We check each image against Google’s policies and the law, and tell you honestly which requests have a realistic chance.
-
We lodge and follow up
We prepare and lodge the requests with Google and, where relevant, the website owner, and follow them up.
-
You get the outcome
We report back once each request has been decided. Google and site owners make the final call.
What we can’t do.
- We can’t guarantee an image will be removed. Google and the website owner decide.
- We can’t remove an image from a website we don’t control; we can only make requests to its owner and to Google.
- We can’t remove lawful images that don’t breach any policy or right, such as genuine news photos.
- We are not Google and don’t work for Google.
Pricing and timing
Pricing depends on how many images are involved and where they are hosted. Every case is different, so we don’t publish set prices. We give you a clear quote and a realistic timeframe after a free assessment, before any work starts.
Questions we get asked.
Can you remove a photo of me from Google Images?
Often, if it breaches one of Google’s policies, for example if it is an intimate image shared without consent, exposes personal information, or is used in breach of your rights. We will assess your images and tell you honestly what is likely to be possible.
If Google removes the image, is it deleted from the internet?
Not necessarily. Google can remove an image from its search results, but the image may still exist on the website that hosts it. Where it helps, we also make requests to the site owner to take it down at the source.
How long does Google image removal take?
It depends on the type of request and how quickly Google and the website owner respond. We will give you a realistic timeframe after assessing your case and keep you updated along the way.
What if someone is sharing intimate images of me without consent?
You can report image-based abuse to the eSafety Commissioner, who can help get the images removed, and to the police. We can help with the Google search side as well, but please contact eSafety first if you are in immediate distress.
How much does Google image removal cost?
Pricing depends on how many images are involved and where they are hosted. We give you a clear quote after a free assessment, before any work starts.
