DMCA takedown notice generator
Answer a few questions and get a complete DMCA notice with every element U.S. law requires, ready to copy or download.
Your notice
Everything you type stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to us unless you use the takedown request form.
What the generator includes
Every notice contains the six elements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): your signature, the copyrighted work, the infringing material and its location, your contact details, a good-faith statement and an accuracy statement made under penalty of perjury.
Before you send
- Only the copyright owner or someone authorized by them can send a notice.
- Consider fair use first: knowingly false notices can make you liable under § 512(f). Try our fair use checker.
- Screenshot each page with its URL and date before you send.
- Use the platform’s copyright form if it has one; it’s usually faster than email.

Common questions
Is this DMCA notice generator free?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent to us.
Can I use it if I’m not in the United States?
Yes. Most major platforms accept DMCA notices from rights holders anywhere. For hosts in the UK, Canada or the EU, see our country-specific generators.
Do I need to register my copyright first?
No. You can send a DMCA notice without registering. Registration is needed only to sue in U.S. federal court.
What happens after I send it?
The platform should remove the material and tell the uploader. If they file a counter-notice, the content can be restored after 10–14 business days unless you file a lawsuit.
