How to Remove Leaks from Reddit 2026

How to remove your content from Reddit yourself

Reddit honors DMCA reports through an official form — no email needed, no Reddit account needed. Here's every field on that form, in order, and exactly what to put in it.

1. 1 Open the form — the first three fields

   "What do you need assistance with?" → Intellectual property requests. "Your email address" → ideally a dedicated ProtonMail: this address can be shared with the infringer, so never your personal one — case updates land here. "What type of request?" → Copyright Infringement / DMCA.

   Open the Reddit Copyright (DMCA) Report Form
2. 2 Subject & details of inquiry

   Copy both from the generator below — one report covers all your links, posts and comments together. (Your ownership-proof links go in the "Additional information" field near the end — step 6.)

3. Subject & details generator Ready-to-paste subject line and details — one report covers posts and comments
4. 3 Copyright owner & address — your alias, never your legal name

   "Copyright owner's full name" → the pen name from the generator below. Reddit accepts stage names here, but a real-looking first + last name processes smoothest — even a pen name. The notice can reach the poster, so never use your legal name. Leave "Your full name (if different)" empty — you are the owner. Street, city, state, ZIP → the generated US address; country → United States.

5. Filing alias generator Pen name & US address — created on this device, nothing uploaded
6. 4 Your copyrighted work — type & title

   "What is your copyrighted work?" → pick Image or Video, whichever the stolen content is. The title: if a video has a name, use it; otherwise a plain description works — e.g. "Adult content published on my official platforms (OnlyFans)".

7. 5 Where it appears + the infringing URLs

   "Where does the allegedly infringing content appear?" → In a Reddit post. Then paste every permalink — Share → Copy link on each post AND comment; the formats below are what Reddit accepts, badly formatted URLs get discarded. Batch them all into this one report — not the user profile.

8. The URL formats Reddit accepts

   Post Report this reddit.com/r/SubredditName/comments/1abc23x/post_title/ The thread permalink — Share → Copy link on the post.

   Comment Report this reddit.com/r/SubredditName/comments/1abc23x/post_title/comment/mno45pq/ Share → Copy link directly under the comment.

   User profile Don't start here reddit.com/user/username/ Accounts in this format come down as a RESULT of their posts and comments being reported — reporting the profile itself rarely yields anything.

   Stack enough upheld reports and Reddit suspends the account — sometimes the entire subreddit. Going after accounts first usually gets you nowhere: collect their infringing posts and comments instead, and let the suspensions follow.

9. 6 Additional information — your original links

   The optional "Additional information" box is where ownership proof goes, and it's the strongest signal a reviewer can check. Paste your official page links into the generator below and it writes the statement for you.

10. Additional info generator Paste your original page links — the ownership statement writes itself
11. 7 Sign and submit

    The electronic signature is the same pen name from the kit. Tick the good-faith and accuracy statements, submit — Reddit emails a case number and qualifying content usually comes down within days.
