Better reference media can improve monitoring. Start with clear face photos, then add names, links, and known problem URLs.

You do not need to upload explicit images to begin. Clear face photos are often the best starting point.

Help: What To Upload visual

Best starter set

Use clear, recent face photos from multiple angles

A practical starter set is 3 to 10 clear face photos with neutral and smiling expressions, good lighting, and minimal filters.

Recent images

Reflect your current look and hairstyle.

Multiple angles

Front, side, and slight-angle photos help reviewers and matching workflows.

Good lighting

Avoid dark, blurry, or heavily filtered images.

No face obstruction

Avoid sunglasses, masks, or crops that hide the face.

Helpful additions

Names and links are useful clues too

Visual matching is important, but text, aliases, and known problem locations still help organize coverage.

Stage names and old names

Bad actors may use older handles or misspellings.

Social and public links

Public profiles give context and reduce ambiguity.

Known leak or fake profile URLs

Add any location you already know about.

Video links

Useful context for stolen clips, thumbnails, or frame matches.

No explicit required

Clear face photos are enough to start in many cases

If a specific piece of content is being stolen, you can provide links or references, but do not upload more sensitive material than necessary.

The product should be designed to reduce exposure, not create another copy of sensitive content.

  • Start with face references
  • Add links when relevant
  • Avoid unnecessary sensitive uploads
  • Use support for special cases
