Pictures of you sit in more places than you'd think — on people-search listings, in reverse image search, and in Google and Bing image results. Delist finds where your photos appear, files removals at the source, and keeps watching for new ones.
Run my free exposure scan →When people search "remove pictures of me online," they usually picture one culprit — a face-search engine. Those matter, but they're one surface of three, and the plainest version of the problem is broader than any single named site.
Your photo is exposed in three different ways, and each one comes down through a different door:
Framing this only around face-search engines misses two-thirds of it. Removal means working every door, not just the one people have heard of.
Each surface hosts your photo differently, so each needs its own kind of removal. Here's how we work all three.
When a broker publishes your photo next to your record, opting out of that listing usually takes the image down with the text. This is the same work as broader data removal — the picture is just one field in the record.
How data removal works →The specialized engines that match a face to a name run their own opt-out processes — friction-heavy, and some ask for ID. We file the opt-outs and watch for your photos to resurface, then re-file.
Face-search removal guide →Remove the photo at its source and the image result drops off after the next crawl. For a faster delist, a removal request for the specific image URL hides it from Google and Bing while the source removal takes hold.
Google removal request →A search engine only shows your photo because some other site is hosting it. So the durable fix and the fast fix are different moves, and you want both.
The fast move is a removal request to Google or Bing that names the exact image URL. That hides the picture from search within days, which is what most people mean by "delete my photos from search results." The durable move is removing the photo at its source — the broker listing or page publishing it — because if the source stays live, the engine re-indexes the image on its next pass. Do only the first and it creeps back; do both and it stays down.
Reverse image search removal works the same way in reverse. An opt-out clears a photo from one engine's index, but it can't stop a fresh picture of you from being crawled later. That's why the removal isn't one-and-done — it's a standing job.
Once a photo is public it can be copied, reposted, and re-indexed by anyone, so no service can honestly promise your picture is gone from the whole internet. Anyone who claims that is selling you a guarantee they don't control.
What we do control is every consent-based channel: the people-search listings that publish your photo, the face-search engines that index it, and the search results that surface it. We file removals across all three, follow up when a site stalls, and keep checking as your photos resurface. The work is persistent because the exposure is.
The free scan covers your exposure on the major people-search sites, including the photos attached to your listings. Face-search engine checks are included with the paid plan.
