How to report stolen artwork on Instagram / Facebook / Meta

Instagram / Facebook / Meta is a social platform where your stolen artwork might appear in posts, ads, videos, or pins. Here's exactly how to file a copyright report that their trust and safety team will actually action.

The fastest route

Use for Instagram, Facebook posts, pages, ads and marketplace listings.

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?

Social platforms are inconsistent — Meta and TikTok typically action within a few days, Pinterest within a week.

If Instagram / Facebook / Meta ignores you

If the initial report is rejected, try the fallback email below — it's the designated copyright agent on record. If the content links to a storefront selling your work, report the storefront too.

Build your Instagram / Facebook / Meta takedown in under 2 minutes.
