Google Gemini just made it easy to remove watermarks from AI images — here’s how to do it

Google has introduced a new feature in Gemini that allows users to remove the visible watermark from AI-generated images, videos, and music. This setting, which is rolling out across Gemini and Google's Flow filmmaking tool, gives creators more control over the appearance of their work. The visible watermark, which clearly identifies an AI-generated image, has been a point of contention for those who find it distracting in presentations or creative projects.

However, it's important to note that the invisible SynthID watermark and C2PA Content Credentials metadata remain embedded in the files, allowing for traceability. This means that while the Gemini sparkle can be turned off, the content is still traceable through Google's tools like "About this image," Lens, and AI Mode. The setting is available for content created after the change, but does not automatically remove the watermark from previously downloaded files.
