Lenso.ai Opt-Out Guide: Remove Your Face from Search Results
Overview
Lenso.ai offers reverse image and face-related search over publicly available content. If you want your face excluded from Lenso search results, use their dedicated Image Opt-Out Request — not a generic contact form.
According to Lenso, an approved opt-out can remove images of your face from its index and help prevent those images from being re-indexed later. That only affects Lenso’s search index, not the websites that originally host the photos.
Before you begin
- Prepare a clear photo of your face. Lenso uses the uploaded image to identify the face you want removed from its index. The image must be 10 MB or smaller.
- Have an email address you check regularly — Lenso sends confirmation and decision updates by email.
- Know that opt-out removes searchability in Lenso, not the original webpages. Contact those sites separately if you want source images taken down.
Step-by-step
Step 1
Open Lenso.ai’s Opt-Out Request
Open Lenso.ai Opt-Out FormGo directly to Lenso’s official Image Opt-Out Request form to begin the removal process.
Step 2
Upload a clear reference photo
Upload an image of your face that Lenso can use to identify the images you want excluded. Lenso’s published instructions specify a maximum file size of 10 MB. If you want Lenso to stop indexing your face, attach a clear face photo.
Step 3
Complete the request
Provide the information requested on Lenso’s form (typically including contact details and a short explanation) and submit. Make sure the reference image clearly shows the face you want removed.
Step 4
Watch your email
After submitting, Lenso will send updates about your request by email. Lenso says opt-out requests are reviewed every business day and typically take less than 24 hours to process.
Step 5
Remember what the opt-out does — and doesn’t — remove
An approved opt-out removes covered images from Lenso’s index. It does not delete the original images from the websites where they appear. Contact those sites separately if you want the source images removed.
What happens next?
If approved
- Lenso says images covered by an approved opt-out request are removed from its index and will not be re-indexed in the future.
- Removed photos should no longer be accessible through Lenso image search for the covered material.
Keep in mind
- This affects Lenso’s search index only. It does not remove the original photos from the websites where they are hosted.
- Lenso states requests are rarely rejected unless the face in the uploaded photo is not clear enough for recognition.
- Government ID is not normally required for Lenso opt-out; their privacy materials say they usually do not require documents or additional personal information beyond the form.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a government ID for Lenso opt-out?
Lenso’s published privacy materials say they usually do not require documents or additional personal information. Their opt-out process centers on uploading a clear image of the face (or picture) you want excluded, plus the information on their form — not a traditional ID check like some other face-search services.
Should I use Opt-Out or DMCA/DSA?
Use Opt-Out when you want Lenso to stop showing images of your face, or a specific image and its duplicates, and help prevent re-indexing. Use DMCA/DSA when you need to remove a specific copyrighted result or source URL; that path may not suppress copies at other URLs.
Is Lenso the same as PimEyes?
No. They are separate services with separate indexes and separate opt-out processes. You need to request removal from each service individually.
Does CatchAFace remove me from Lenso?
No. CatchAFace provides educational guides only. You must submit the request on Lenso’s official form.
CatchAFace is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Lenso.ai. This guide is educational only. Opt-out requests must be submitted through Lenso.ai's own official process; CatchAFace cannot file or manage those requests for you.
