DMCA takedown notice generator

Fill in the fields below and get a complete copyright takedown notice you can copy and send yourself. It includes the six elements U.S. law requires, so a recipient cannot dismiss it on a technicality.

Sending it to (optional)

Leave blank to address it generically. Not sure who hosts the site? Use the abuse-contact lookup first.

Your full name required

A DMCA notice needs a name. You can use a stage name if you prefer, as long as you can act for the copyright.

Your contact email required

Your mailing address required

The law requires an address. Many people use a P.O. box or an agent's address rather than a home address.

Describe your original work required

Where your original is published (optional)

Linking your own source strengthens the claim, but is not required.

Infringing URLs required

One URL per line. Use the exact page or file address, not the homepage.

Your DMCA notice

This tool does not send anything It only writes the notice. You copy it and send it yourself, to one recipient at a time, from your own email. It does not track, follow up, escalate, or monitor for re-uploads. For the full workflow, read how to send a DMCA notice.

A note on accuracy A DMCA notice is a legal document you sign under penalty of perjury. Only file on content you actually own (work you created yourself). If someone else took the photo or video, the Take It Down Act or GDPR may fit better. This generator is general information, not legal advice.
