If your private content has been leaked on Reddit, you’re not alone — and you’re not helpless. Reddit has rules against sharing personal or intimate content without permission.
In this article, we’ll show you how you report leaked content on Reddit and get it removed.
Leaked content on Reddit can include:
It can harm your mental health, your career, or your reputation. Reddit has clear policies against this — and offers ways to remove it.
Let’s go through the four best ways to report it.
You can report any post that violates Reddit's content guidelines directly in the app with three simple clicks. This is the fastest and easiest way. Here’s how you do it:
1. Click on the three dots (...) next to the post you want to report and choose "Report".
A popup will open tho finalise your request.
2. Choose one of the suggested reasons
3. State whose copyright it is
If you have a Reddit account, you can also report content directly through Reddit’s reporting system. This is the most efficient way. Here’s how you report leaked content on Reddit in 5 simple steps via Reddit's report form:
1. Go to Reddit's report form
Click on the three dots (...) under the post or comment. Then choose “Report”.
A multi-step form will open.
2. Select "Content"
Under "What would you like to report?", choose "Content". Then click Next.
3. Paste the Link to the Content
Paste the URL of the Reddit post or comment you want to report. Then click Next.
4. Choose the Type of Violation
If your leaked content is intimate or private, choose "Non-consensual intimate media". You can also choose other options like harassment, copyright, or impersonation, depending on the situation.
Click Next.
5. Confirm who is in the Media
Choose between "You" (if the content is of you) and "Someone else" (if you’re reporting for a friend, client, company or family member). Finalise your request by clicking Submit.
Reddit will check your report and email you with an update.
You don’t need a Reddit account to report leaked content. Anyone can use Reddit’s official support form. So go to the Reddit Support Form and follow these steps:
1. Choose the right category
Under "What do you need assistance with?" select "Intellectual property requests"
This tells Reddit that your content has been shared without your permission and may be protected by copyright law.
2. Fill in your contact information
3. Describe the problem
Explain that your private content has been leaked or stolen. Be specific, but simple. Example:
"Someone shared my private photo without permission. I am the copyright owner. Please remove this post."
If necessary, also add attachments to prove your point.
4. Provide the links
You need to paste:
5. Confirm your identity
You need to prove that you are a real person with an electronic signature. Therefor, type in your full name and confirm the required checkboxes to agree that you’re telling the truth under legal terms
Then click Submit.
Reddit will review your request and remove the content if it violates their rules.
If someone stole your original content — like a photo, video, or blog post — and posted it on Reddit, you can send a DMCA takedown request by email.
Send your request to dmca@reddit.com and make sure your email includes the following:
Once Reddit receives your DMCA request, they will review it and remove the content if it violates copyright law.
Reddit usually takes a few days to review your report. If the content breaks Reddit’s rules or copyright laws, it will be removed.
You may not always get a detailed reply, but if the content disappears — your request worked.
If Reddit denies your request but you believe it's valid, you can try again with more evidence or seek legal help.
To avoid problems in the future:
Reddit does not allow stolen, intimate, or private content to be shared. If you find leaked content, don’t ignore it — take action right away.
