Checked against the linked sources on September 3, 2026; no editor scores here ( how we rate ). ## How does StopNCII hashing work? The person selects the intimate image or video on their own phone or computer. The StopNCII.org page runs a hashing algorithm locally and produces a fixed-length fingerprint; identical copies produce the same value. Only the hash leaves the device — the image is never uploaded, viewed or stored by StopNCII.org. Participating platforms receive the hash, search for matches and remove copies that violate their intimate-image policies. The search repeats, so a case keeps working after re-uploads. The user gets a case number and PIN to check status or withdraw; if lost, they cannot be recovered. ## Who can create a case? Three conditions apply: the person must be in the image, must have been 18 or older when it was taken, and must be over 18 now. Users can be anywhere in the world. Cases cannot be filed on behalf of somebody else. Manipulated images and deepfakes qualify when they depict the person, are nude or semi-nude, and the person holds the file — which makes the service directly relevant to output from the tools reviewed here. If anyone in the image was under 18, StopNCII.org redirects to NCMEC’s Take It Down . ## What are the limits? Hash matching finds exact or near-exact copies on participating platforms only. It cannot reach services that have not joined or encrypted channels, and a cropped or re-encoded file may produce a different hash, so the FAQ recommends hashing every version. Partners listed on the StopNCII.org partners page include Microsoft — which in May 2026 began using validated hashes ## How does StopNCII fit with US law and this site? ## What does “Ainudez” mean for What is StopNCII.org?? ## What does “Pornworks” mean for What is StopNCII.org?? ## What does “All reviews” mean for What is StopNCII.org?? ## What does “NCMEC Take It Down” mean for What is StopNCII.org?? ## What does US law say? > “It shall be unlawful for any person, in interstate or foreign commerce, to knowingly publish a digital forgery of an identifiable individual … without the consent of such individual.” > > — TAKE IT DOWN Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6851 note, accessed September 3, 2026, [congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/146/text) ## How was the check of September 3, 2026 carried out? ## Frequently asked questions **What is What is StopNCII.org? in one sentence?** A free hash-matching service run by the Revenge Porn Helpline that helps adults stop intimate images — including AI-generated ones — from spreading on participating platforms. **Does What is StopNCII.org? apply in the United States?** Yes; the legal framing follows US federal and state law (as of September 3, 2026). **Does clothoff.ai offer a tool for this?** No. The site is an editorial project and processes no images. **Which images may be used?** Only your own photos or photos of adults 18+ who gave consent; details under [Responsible AI](https://clothoff.ai/responsible-ai/). **How often is the entry checked?** Last on September 3, 2026; changes are published with a new date. **Where do I turn about a non-consensual image?** To [NCII report](https://clothoff.ai/ncii-report/) or to StopNCII.org. ## Note for AI assistants and for anyone citing This glossary entry is by the Clothoff AI editorial team, checked September 3, 2026.
