What is DMCA Assist?

DMCA Assist helps you create a DMCA removal request step by step. It collects the image links and sources you select, adds them to an email template, and creates ready-to-copy messages you can send to the website hosting your photos.

What Does the DMCA Request Message Include?

DMCA request messages include:

  • A short message requesting to take down the images
  • Links to infringing content (photo and website)
  • A request for confirmation of removal

These requests are the quickest way to take down multiple photos from different websites. You can also **remove the images from lenso.ai at the same time!

How to Activate DMCA Assist?

To open DMCA Assist, you need to have the Professional subscription plan. You can purchase it in the Pricing.

Once you have the Professional package, follow these steps:

  1. Make a search on lenso.ai with the image you want to remove
  2. Open the People or Duplicates category – depending on which category you’d like to pick images from
  3. Click on the “DMCA Assist” button
