Removal guide

How to remove your course from Psdly

Psdly is a download aggregator that hosts unauthorized copies of paid design and 3D course material. At the time of our filings in July 2026, the live domain was psdly.io; check which domain Google is showing for your listing before you file, since aggregators in this circuit move domains.

Does Psdly honor DMCA notices?

We did not use a direct DMCA route when we filed against Psdly; our filings went through Google Search removal and a Cloudflare abuse report, and both were accepted, though Cloudflare only forwarded the report. The route below goes to Google and to the host that stores the file. If the site publishes a DMCA page when you look, by all means use it as an extra layer, but do not let the search for a contact delay the steps that work without one.

The DIY route

Step 1: File a Google Search removal request

  1. Search Google for your course name and your name, and copy the exact Psdly URL from the results, domain included.
  2. Go to https://reportcontent.google.com/forms/dmca_search and sign in with a Google account.
  3. File as the rights holder: your full legal name, your country, the course name with a short description, your official sales page URL as the example of the authorized work, and the infringing Psdly URL. Multiple URLs go in one report.
  4. Confirm the sworn statements, pass the human check, and submit. Confirmation is immediate by email; Google's removals dashboard tracks each URL.

Step 2: Send the notice to the host that stores the file

Psdly sits behind Cloudflare; Cloudflare accepted our report for psdly.io and emailed a case reference the same day. But Cloudflare forwards a report to the site owner and host and removes nothing itself, and in our filings forwarding alone did not bring a listing down, so we no longer rely on it. The file host holds the file and can remove it, so the notice goes there. A Cloudflare report at https://abuse.cloudflare.com is optional.

  1. Open the Psdly listing for your course and follow its download links until you reach the file host's own address. Copy the full file URL; if the course is split across several files, collect every file URL.
  2. Find that host's own copyright or abuse address on the host's site. For MEGA, Pixeldrain and Send, our guides for those hosts give the exact address.
  3. Email the notice there: your full legal name and country, the course name, your official sales page URL as the authorized example of the work, the exact file URL or URLs, and the good-faith and accuracy statements the host's copyright page asks for.
  4. Recheck the file URL after the host acts. A removed file no longer serves the download, even if the Psdly listing is still up.

Step 3: Direct DMCA email

We have no field-tested direct contact for Psdly. If their site lists one when you check, send the standard notice there in parallel; otherwise the two layers above are the route.

What to expect, from our filings

Google acknowledged immediately, and the listing stopped surfacing for course-name searches within days, inside Google's stated two-week window. Cloudflare acknowledged the same day and confirmed forwarding to the site owner and hosting provider, but in our filings forwarding alone did not bring a listing down. Source-file removal depends on the host, which is why the notice now goes to the host directly; the search de-index is the reliable outcome and the one that ends the traffic.

Time cost

20 to 30 minutes for the first listing across the Google form and the host notice, then a recheck a few days later. If the listing moves to a new domain, the pass repeats against the new URL, which is the recurring cost of doing this yourself.

Or have us file it

Delister files all of this for you, plus every other venue hosting your course, for $89 once per course. You pay only after it is down, and for three months, every time it reappears we file again and send you the notice and what happened to it. Start with the free scan; it also catches the domain moves.
