What to do if intimate photos are leaked online
If intimate material is already public, do not wait for more copies to appear. Preserve the known URLs and send them to DeleteWeb for review; additional public copies can be searched in parallel.
What to do right now
If the leak has already happened, do not wait for it to resolve itself. Preserve the known URLs and send them for an initial review. You can start with a single URL.
1. Preserve the URL and publication evidence
Save the exact page address, date, screenshot and website name. If there are threats or demands for money, preserve those messages separately.
2. Avoid sending the intimate material to unnecessary services
A URL is usually enough for an initial review. Share the image itself only when it is needed for identification or deep search.
3. Check for public copies
Leaks can spread across mirrors, forums, profiles and aggregators. One known page is enough to start; DeleteWeb can search for more copies using images and other identifiers.
4. Work across the relevant removal layers
The workflow may involve the website, platform, hosting provider and search engines. Search delisting alone does not remove the file from the source website.
5. Monitor after cleanup
Copies may reappear after the initial cleanup. Ongoing monitoring can help detect new public URLs later.
Frequently asked questions
Can I contact you if I only know one URL?
Yes. One known URL is enough for an initial assessment, and additional copies can be searched separately.
What if the leak is being used for blackmail?
Preserve the messages and evidence. If there is extortion or an immediate safety risk, also consider contacting local law enforcement or qualified legal counsel.
Can I keep the material on selected websites and remove it elsewhere?
Yes. The keep/remove URL list can be agreed before removal work starts.

One known URL is enough for an initial review. If you do not know where else the material appears, select deep search. The sooner source URLs and identifiers are preserved, the sooner the removal workflow can begin.
