Can someone make a fake video of me from my Facebook photos?
Learn how photos can be misused and what you can do if it happens.
Yes. Someone can change a photo to make a false image or video. A claim that they did so does not prove a clip exists.
A fake clip might show you selling a product. The person who made it is at fault. Having photos online does not make this your fault.
Privacy settings can limit new access. They cannot remove copies someone already saved.
- Check who can see your posts and photos. Limit public access where that suits you.
- If you find a fake, note the page address, account name, date and any threats.
- Do not repost private sexual images or download them as proof. This matters especially if anyone shown may be under 18.
- Report the account and content through the site's abuse, privacy or fake-account tools.
- For threats or blackmail, seek help from local authorities. Do not pay or send new images to the person making threats.
