The pic is too blurry. Have to guess.
But I SUSPECT it's a cottered crank. It's been written up enough times, so do a net search for "remove cottered crank", take it from there.
Return with any specific questions.
If it's not a cottered crank, it might be either a square taper, or possibly even an Ashtabula one-piece crank.

incazzare.
If the photo is accurate, I think it's a one piece crank.
If so, check this out: One-piece ("Ashtabula") Cranks

yep, it would be better if we actually knew what crank your bike has. Maybe take a pic of it and post it.

Above advice assumes you selected the correct image from Google. There are a dozen or so different types of crankset, some requiring special tools.

So, you select an blurry image from Google that is NOT a picture of your own bike and expect instructions about how to dismantle it. I hate to say it but:
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
