— Mugshot Removal
An arrest photo — even for a charge that was dropped or dismissed — can dominate your Google results and cost you jobs, housing, and relationships. We take it down, discreetly and permanently. You get your name back.
We'll get back to you within 24 hours.
— The short answer
Yes — in many cases a mugshot can be removed from Google entirely. The strongest cases are those where charges were dropped, dismissed, or the record was sealed or expunged, and cases where the photo appears on sites that violate Google's policies or your state's mugshot laws. When full removal isn't possible, we suppress the mugshot so it no longer appears on the first page of Google. Either way, the goal is the same: when someone searches your name, they don't find it.
— How this happens
In most U.S. states, a mugshot is a public record the moment it’s taken — which means it’s legal to publish, whether or not you were ever convicted. Within days, automated “mugshot aggregator” sites scrape that photo from police and court databases and post it, often copying it across a network of sister sites to maximize exposure.
The good news is that the law has shifted hard against these sites, and Google now actively deprioritizes them. That’s created real, legitimate leverage to force removal — if you know how to use it. That’s exactly what we do.
Many of these sites offer to remove your photo — for a fee. Paying them is a mistake. It funds an exploitative business model, it's illegal in several states, and the photo frequently reappears on another site in the same network days later. Some of these operations have been prosecuted as extortion.
— Our process
We find every site your mugshot appears on and pursue removal directly at the source — the only way to truly delete it from Google, not just hide it.
Many states legally require mugshot sites to remove photos — especially for dropped, dismissed, or expunged cases. We cite the exact statutes that force their hand.
Google’s exploitative-content policy allows removal from search results for sites designed to profit from mugshots. We file and manage these requests for you.
For anything that can’t be removed, we rank strong, positive content above it — pushing the mugshot off page one, where virtually no one looks.

If a mugshot website offers to take your photo down for a fee, don't pay it. It funds the exact business preying on you, it's illegal in several states, and the photo usually resurfaces on a partner site within days. We've seen people pay these operators thousands of dollars and end up worse off. There are legitimate, lawful ways to force removal — and telling you the truth about this is exactly why people trust us with the rest.
— WHAT IF IT CAN'T BE REMOVED?
When your case qualifies — dropped, dismissed, or expunged charges, policy-violating sites, or favorable state laws — we get the mugshot deleted at the source. It’s gone from Google for good.
When a source won’t remove it, we bury it. We rank positive, accurate content about you above the mugshot until it drops off page one — where almost no one ever looks.

— FAQ
Yes. In many cases a mugshot can be removed entirely — especially if the charges were dropped, dismissed, or the record was expunged, or if it appears on a site that violates Google’s policies or your state’s mugshot laws. When removal isn’t possible, we suppress it so it no longer appears on the first page of Google.
On compliant websites, a mugshot can come down within 24–72 hours. More stubborn sites, or cases requiring legal leverage or suppression, typically take 30–90 days. We give you a realistic timeline during a free, confidential review.
Yes — these are the strongest cases. Many states legally require mugshot sites to remove photos when charges were dropped, dismissed, or the record was sealed or expunged. We use that leverage to force removal.
No. Paying a mugshot site directly validates their business model, is illegal in several states, and often results in the photo reappearing on a sister site. In some cases this practice has been prosecuted as extortion. There are better, legitimate ways to force removal — which is what we do.
We handle all of them. Mugshots are frequently copied across many aggregator sites, so we identify every location it appears and pursue removal at each source, then confirm it’s gone from Google.
We suppress it. By ranking positive, accurate content about you above the mugshot, we push it off the first page of Google — where almost no one ever looks — so it effectively disappears from view.
