What we remove · Google Images results
Remove a photograph from Google Images
An image result outlives the page it came from, and it is the one people forget to check after everything else has gone.
What this covers
Every copy of it, not just the first one.
Thumbnails in Google Images, the image results that appear beside a name in web search, and the copies on mirror and scraper domains.
The route that works
How this one actually comes down.
An image result follows its source page, so the source is addressed first. Once the page is down or the image removed from it, the outdated-content request clears the thumbnail, and an image-specific request covers what the page-level request misses. Where the image is of a minor, or is intimate content published without consent, Google removes it on request regardless of the source.
What we will not take money for
A photograph you licensed or published yourself, on a page that remains live, has no route until the source changes.
The terms for this link
One published fee, whatever the platform. The removal window for images and cached copies starts at 21 days and is fixed in the engagement letter at signing, so a later change to our defaults cannot alter your case.

Questions
About this one specifically.
The page is gone but the picture is still there.
That is the usual position, and it is the specific thing this route fixes. The thumbnail is served from Google's own cache and needs its own request.
Is intimate content handled differently?
Yes, and much faster. Google removes non-consensual intimate imagery on request. Tell us at the assessment and it is prioritised.

Remove a cached page from Google
The page is down, the result is still there, and the snippet still says what it always said. That gap is a technical problem with a specific fix.
