AI-generated intimate images do not look like the original photographs they were derived from. Standard reverse image search compares pixel patterns, which means it misses virtually every deepfake. ScanErase uses biometric face scanning, which matches the geometry of your face across re-encoded, AI-generated, and manipulated versions. The 2026 TAKE IT DOWN Act was written to include synthetic imagery explicitly.

How ScanErase works for your situation

  1. Upload your face photo Your biometric template is built in memory and deleted at session end.
  2. Scan for synthetic and authentic versions Biometric geometry matching finds AI-generated images that share your facial structure regardless of pixel-level changes.
  3. Review confirmed matches Your dashboard shows all confirmed locations with platform and URL.
  4. Send TAKE IT DOWN Act notices Platform operators receive formal 223a notices covering synthetic content specifically.
  5. Document your case Your Evidence Locker records all actions taken.

Frequently asked questions

Does the TAKE IT DOWN Act cover AI-generated images that are not real photos of me?

Yes. The Act explicitly covers visual depictions in which a real person's likeness has been manipulated or superimposed onto explicit content, and computer-generated or digitally synthesized visual depictions of real identifiable individuals.

How does ScanErase find deepfakes when reverse image search cannot?

Reverse image search compares pixel patterns. ScanErase uses biometric face scanning, which extracts and matches the geometric structure of your face. AI-generated deepfakes preserve your facial geometry even when all pixel values are different, so biometric scanning finds them.

The images are not real. Can I still demand removal?

Yes. The law does not distinguish between authentic and synthetic intimate imagery. The legal standard is your identity and your non-consent to distribution on that platform.
