How to ask Google to remove images of kids from its search results
How to ask Google to remove images of kids from its search results
Feb 24, 2025 pm 06:16 PM
If you are under 18 years of age, you may not want your photos to appear in search results. This is also true for parents or guardians who do not want their child’s photos to show. Thankfully, Google now offers a clear way to remove images from minors so that they don't appear in search results for Google users around the world.
Before starting, please note that this guide only covers non-exposed images. Google has corresponding reporting methods for sexually explicit content against children, but this requires reporting directly to the National Center for Missing and Brutal Children or one of the many organizations around the world.
How to remove images of minors from Google search results
To be clear, this process does not guarantee that Google will stop displaying the image. The company notes that photos of minors will not be blocked if they have newsworthy or if the company determines that there is a "convincing public interest" to keep them online. The tech giant only allows minors to request removal of their own photos, or requests from the parents or legal guardians of the child being photographed. If you are not any of the above, sorry – Google will not pay attention.
If you meet the criteria, the option you are looking for is one of several types of information Google allows you to request removal. If you want to get straight into the topic, you can click this link and start. You can also search online for " Request to remove your personal information on Google " to find the same form.

The tech giant only allows minors to request removal of their own photos, or requests from the parents or legal guardians of the child being photographed. If you are not any of the above, sorry – Google will not pay attention.
First, click to remove the information you saw in Google search . Don't mind another option "prevent information from appearing in Google Search". It will either guide you into what to do if you are a website owner who wants to block Google’s indexed pages, or it will briefly explain good practices for sharing information on the web. We don't have time to do this.
Next, tell Google that the information you want to remove is located on Google's search results and website. If it is no longer on the website, but is only visible on Google (another option), Google has separate forms for removing obsolete content from search results.
Google will then ask if you have contacted the site owner who hosted the image you want to remove. If you don't have one, but want to know how to do it (No, how do I do it?), the form will tell you - it boils down to finding a contact link on the relevant website or performing a WhoIs lookup to identify website management or hosting provider. Parse results of WhoIs queries can be difficult, but there is a field that displays any available contact information.Contact site owners is worth a try, because if they want, they can completely remove the image, making it unavailable in all search engines (not just Google).
If you choose No, I would rather not or are and you will see an image of an individual currently under 18 years old as an option. Select this option and select Non-exposed image, as described above.
Next, just fill in all the required details such as the minor's full name, age, and your email address. You also have to paste the URL of any image you want to remove from Google search results (up to 1000). For example, to do this on Google Chrome, open a photo on the image search page, click the three dotsin the upper right corner, then click Share , and then in Click the Copy link and click the link to do this. The correct URL will have some variations of Google near the beginning (e.g. https://images.app.goo.gl). If you just right-click on the image and select Copy the image address , you will not get the type of links Google likes. You must also provide any URLs that lead to the Google search results page that you found the image (again, up to 1000). To do this, run a search that displays the image, click on the address bar, and copy everything in it.
Other than that, you can list any search terms that caused the photo to appear and upload one or more screenshots to help Google recognize content.
Note that even if Google agrees to remove images from its search results, it may still appear in front of anyone using competing search engines. So if you haven't tried to contact the website hosting the photo, think about it carefully – eliminating the root cause of the problem is always the best way to completely eliminate it.
