Stolen Product Images on Amazon: Find and Remove Them
Another seller is using your photos on an Amazon listing. Here's how to find every listing that copies your images and report them.
Collect the ASIN, listing URL and screenshots of each listing using your images, then file a copyright complaint with Amazon's infringement reporting tool as the rights owner. Brand Registry gives faster tools if your brand is enrolled. Check for other listings first so you can report them together.
How to report stolen images on Amazon
Find the listings using your images
Search Amazon for your product names and brand, and run a reverse image search on your main photos. Note the ASIN and seller of every match.
Capture evidence
Screenshot the product page, image gallery and seller page. Keep the ASIN, URL, price and date. Amazon may take the listing down before you can go back.
Prove the images are yours
Have your original files, the publication date on your own site or store, and any photographer agreement ready to attach.
File the complaint
Use Amazon's Report Infringement form as the rights owner. If your brand is in Brand Registry, use its reporting tools, which are generally quicker.
Follow up and check for repeats
Sellers often relist under a new account. Keep monitoring so you can report the new listing quickly.
Why Amazon listings copy your photos
Sellers hijack listings or create near-identical ones using your photography to look like the real brand. Some sell genuine stock, some sell counterfeits, and some sell nothing at all. In every case your images are being used without permission.
Because Amazon has millions of listings and sellers across many regions, one search rarely shows them all. Regional storefronts such as the US, UK, Germany and Australia are separate marketplaces and need checking separately.
What to include in your complaint
A complaint that's easy to verify gets processed faster. Include:
- The ASIN and URL of every infringing listing.
- Where your original image was first published.
- A clear statement that you own the copyright and did not authorise the use.
- Your contact details and a signed declaration.
If the seller is also selling fakes
Stolen photos are often paired with counterfeit products. If you hold a registered trademark, report the listing under trademark as well as copyright, since Amazon treats them as separate claims.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Brand Registry to report stolen images on Amazon?
No. Rights owners can use Amazon's infringement reporting form without Brand Registry. Brand Registry adds faster tools and proactive protection.
How long does Amazon take to remove a listing?
It varies. Well-documented complaints are often actioned within days, while incomplete ones can be delayed or rejected. Clear evidence is the biggest factor.
Can I find Amazon listings that use my photos automatically?
Yes. Monitoring tools scan Amazon and other marketplaces for exact and edited copies of your images and alert you when new listings appear.
Will the seller be told who reported them?
Amazon typically shares the complainant's details with the seller, so be sure your contact information is one you're comfortable with.
