How to report stolen artwork on Cloudflare

Cloudflare provides hosting, CDN, or domain services to the infringing site. This is an escalation route: when the storefront and its host both ignore you, infrastructure providers are often the next pressure point.

The fastest route

Usually not the host. Use to report abuse and help identify/notify the actual host.

What to include in your takedown

Cloudflare — like every DMCA recipient — needs the same core information to action a report. Include:

Tip: TakeItDown.art's case builder generates a clean, properly-formatted message with all of this pre-filled — just paste your details once and copy the result.

How long does it take?

Infrastructure providers are slow (1–2+ weeks) because they pass complaints down the stack.

If Cloudflare ignores you

Infrastructure providers usually forward your complaint to the actual site owner. If the site still doesn't comply, escalate to payment processors and domain registrars.

Build your Cloudflare takedown in under 2 minutes.
