DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature that lets users hide AI-generated images in its image search results.
The new option appears as a dropdown menu under the “Images” tab, allowing you to choose whether to show or hide AI-generated content. This aligns with DuckDuckGo’s privacy-first philosophy.

Our philosophy about AI features is “private, useful, and optional.” Our goal is to help you find what you’re looking for. You should decide for yourself how much AI you want in your life – or if you want any at all. (1/4) pic.twitter.com/pTolmsEQlQ
This feature is part of DuckDuckGo’s broader efforts to offer AI tools that respect user privacy and choice. Whether you’re searching for real-world images or looking to avoid synthetic visuals, the control is now in your hands.
