How to remove a photo from Pixleaks in which you appear?

💡 Pixleaks is a friendly and responsible community where photographers share their work taken in public places. But we deeply respect personal boundaries and always ask photographers to remove images if the person depicted does not want them to appear on the platform. What to do if you want to remove a photo? 1. Contact the photographer directly This is the fastest and most effective way to delete a photo. - Open the gallery, find the photo of yourself, and copy the link. - Send the photographer a polite message with the link, explaining that it’s you in the photo and that you would like it removed. 2. Verify that it’s you in the photo To help the photographer confirm that the request comes from the person actually depicted, and not from someone else: - Provide a link to your social media profile, - Or suggest another convenient way for the photographer to confirm your identity. This helps prevent misunderstandings and protects photos from misuse. 3. If the photographer does not respond Please don’t worry if the photographer doesn’t reply right away. They may not have seen your message yet or may temporarily lack internet access. In this case, you can contact our support team — we will assist you as quickly as possible. 4. Report a legal violation If you are sure that a photo or an entire gallery violates the law, click the “Flag” icon on the gallery page or the individual photo page. We will carefully review your report and take appropriate action.

What does the “Buy Ice Cream” button mean?

Since photographers on Pixleaks most often share their work for free, we’ve added a way for anyone to thank them with a small tip. "Buy an Ice Cream" is the symbolic name for tipping on the Pixleaks platform. If you’ve found yourself in a photo, make the photographer’s day: send them a tip using the “Buy an Ice Cream” button. It’s a lovely gesture that will motivate them to keep creating and sharing beautiful moments with people. Please note: photographers choose their own tipping service depending on the country they’re in and what’s most convenient for them.
