How to remove image from Tinypic site

Today’s article is inspired by the silly mistake which I did few months by uploading my important personal account information picture on TinyPic.

As you are already aware, TinyPic is a free image hosting site and it is very popular among internet users. I uploaded my picture as a Guest (without logging in). Since its a public site so your photo is shared with everyone. This statement is enough to make you tense and nervous.

But I took some of the following steps to delete it.

Here are the two simple steps -

1) After uploading an image, click on View Full Size Image option. It will take you to the next page. There you will see a Report Offensive Material link at the bottom of the page. Clicking on it will immediately remove the image from public view and your request will be sent to the TinyPic support team for consideration.

2) Now write an email using their contact form. Explain everything to them and also include internet IP Address. And you will get a response from them within 24 hrs with the confirmation.

So the above method is really helpful. I hope it will help you. Anyway be careful on the web.  Share your past experience with us :) .

    I wonder why there’s no delete/remove option?

  2. abhi says:

    The option is there but only for the registered site users. Not for the guests.

  3. Shiva says:

    Hey Abhi, what if you uploaded and forgot the link. That would be a major problem isn’t it?

  4. Abhi says:

    No. Tinypic stores cookies on your computer and it will show last uploaded pictures even if you are a guest. So this will help you.
    But if you refresh browser cache then it will cause a problem.

  6. Zom says:

    my problem is different. i uploaded pic few months ago
    i only have the direct link to that pic . in direct link theres only picture nothing else showing no report abuse option.
    so how can i report a direct link so they remove my pic ?

  7. Abhi says:

    Ok @Zom. The best solution is to directly mail their support team with that direct link. It will help you. You can use the above contact form link.

    i did what you said (thanks for the tips) but if i put in the tinypic url to my picture it still shows up!

  9. Abhi says:

    @Jen you must be using the direct link. Try to remove your cookies. Remember whenever you mail them they also get your IP address, Browser user agent information.

  10. Jen says:

    Alright, thanks so much! It doesn’t show up when I put the link into “Verify Link”. This post saved me (I accidentally uploaded a personal account information picture too). Thank you!
