How to check if your OnlyFans content has been leaked

Why searching your name misses most of it

The usual advice is to google your stage name plus the word leak, check a few forums, and set up an alert. That does find things. It finds the lazy copies.

Renaming a file takes about ten seconds and it is the first thing anyone re-uploading content does, because they know name searches are how creators look. What you are left searching for is the subset of leakers who could not be bothered. Meanwhile:

• Clips get re-titled with generic descriptions that have nothing to do with you.
• Videos get cut into short pieces and dropped inside long compilations, where the page title describes the compilation and not you.
• Copies get cropped to remove watermarks, mirrored so they read left to right, re-encoded at lower quality, or sped up slightly.
• The same file appears on ten sites you have never heard of and will never think to check.

None of that changes what the video looks like or what it sounds like. So that is what is worth searching for.

The three ways to check, ranked

Name and title searching

Free, and worth an hour. Search your stage name with words like leak, leaked, free and mega, check the obvious aggregator sites, and set up alerts so new pages using your name reach you. Treat it as the floor, not the job.

Face recognition tools

They exist and they do work in a specific case: your face clearly visible, front on, uncropped. That is a slice of leaks rather than the problem. It also requires handing your face to a database, which is an odd trade for a privacy problem, and it does nothing at all for clips where you are not on camera or your face is turned away.

Content matching

This is what we do. We read the actual picture and sound of your video, twice a second, and look for stretches of it appearing anywhere in what we have indexed. A seven second slice buried forty minutes into someone else's upload reports itself the same way a full copy would.

It survives re-encoding, cropping, mirroring, colour changes and small speed changes, because none of those meaningfully change what the video is. And it never needs your name, your title or your face.

How to run a check on a catalogue

1. Start with your most valuable work, not your whole library. The videos that took the most effort, that sell best, or that you would least like spreading.
2. Run it locally. The free app reads your files on your own machine and sends only the numbers. For a catalogue this is both more private and much faster than uploading gigabytes.
3. Read the coverage note. We publish which sites we searched and when we last read them, because an empty result only means something if you know what it was measured against.
4. Sort by how much of your video appears. A full copy and a seven second clip are different problems and deserve different amounts of your attention.
5. Expect legitimate results. If you licensed a clip somewhere, it will show up. That is a correct result you dismiss in two seconds, not a false alarm.

What to do with the list

Reporting is per link, and the effort per link is roughly constant, so it pays to batch. For each site:

• If you filmed it, a copyright notice is the strongest route, and one notice can list every link on that site. Template here.
• If someone else filmed it, use the site's non-consensual content report path instead, which does not ask about ownership. The four routes.
• If the site ignores you, go to the hosting company and the registrar rather than sending the same message again.
• Keep a log: link, route, date sent, reference number, outcome.

Then do it again

Leaked content comes back. A file that was removed once tends to reappear, sometimes months later, on a site that did not exist when you last looked. Checking once tells you about today. The reason the paid plans exist at all is that the checking is worth repeating on a schedule so that a new copy is found in days, by you, rather than in months, by a subscriber sending you a link and asking if you know.
