TakeItDown.art

DeviantArt hosts creator portfolios and galleries. Sometimes people reupload someone else's work under their own name. Here's how to reclaim it.

The fastest route

• Use the report form: https://www.deviantartsupport.com/en/article/how-do-i-submit-a-dmca-takedown-notice
• Fallback email: copyright@deviantart.com — this is DeviantArt's designated copyright contact on record.

Use for stolen uploads and galleries.

What to include in your takedown

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

• Your full name and contact details (email, physical address if required).
• A link to your original work — your portfolio, the Instagram post, the date you published it. Proof of ownership matters.
• A short description of the work so the reviewer can match it.
• The exact URL(s) of the infringing listings or content on DeviantArt.
• A good-faith statement: "I have a good-faith belief that the use of this material is not authorised by me, my agent, or the law."
• A statement under penalty of perjury: "I confirm under penalty of perjury that the information above is accurate and that I am the copyright owner (or authorised to act on behalf of the owner)."
• Your electronic signature — your typed full name is fine.

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?

Smaller, art-focused platforms usually respond within a few business days.
