The invisible SynthID watermark and C2PA metadata remain unaffected, preserving the ability to verify AI-generated content via Gemini or Search. The setting rolls out in Gemini and Flow first, with Search support coming soon, accessible via Settings > Media Watermark. Google is also open-sourcing Credentio, a C library for embedding local C2PA validation in apps. The move follows Anthropic's controversial decision to watermark text generated by Claude to comply with EU regulations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Can I remove the visible watermark from images generated with Google's Nano Banana or Gemini? Yes, Google added a toggle to turn off the visible watermark on AI generations made with Nano Banana, Omni, and Lyria models. It appears under Settings > Media Watermark in Gemini and the Flow video editor, with Search support coming soon. Turning it off does not remove the invisible SynthID watermark or C2PA metadata, so the content can still be identified as AI-generated. _daily.dev helps developers track how AI platforms like Gemini evolve their content-labeling policies._ ### What is Credentio and what does it do for C2PA content credentials? Credentio is an open-source C library released by Google that lets developers embed a local validation mechanism for C2PA content credentials directly into their apps. It complements SynthID by giving developers a way to check content provenance metadata without relying on an external service. _Developers building content-provenance features can follow tooling releases like this one on daily.dev._ ### Does turning off Google's visible AI watermark affect the invisible SynthID watermark? No, disabling the visible watermark has no effect on the invisible SynthID watermark or C2PA metadata embedded in the file. Both remain intact so that Gemini or Search can still detect whether an image, video, or song was AI-generated, even after the visible mark is removed. _Teams evaluating AI content provenance policies can keep up with changes like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [How we’re bringing AI image verification to the Gemini app](https://daily.dev/posts/how-we-re-bringing-ai-image-verification-to-the-gemini-app-ijxaog12c) · DeepMind · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Text AI watermarks will always be trivial to remove](https://daily.dev/posts/text-ai-watermarks-will-always-be-trivial-to-remove-borbz7x9u) · sean goedecke · 6 upvotes · 4 comments --- Tags: [#google](https://daily.dev/tags/google), [#google-gemini](https://daily.dev/tags/google-gemini) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/google-will-now-allow-users-to-remove-visible-watermark-from-its-ai-generations-xeayxl0yf) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Google will now allow users to remove visible watermark from its AI generations","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-will-now-allow-users-to-remove-visible-watermark-from-its-ai-generations-xeayxl0yf","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-will-now-allow-users-to-remove-visible-watermark-from-its-ai-generations-xeayxl0yf"},"datePublished":"2026-08-14T16:16:45.521Z","dateModified":"2026-08-15T08:24:30.311Z","description":"Google announced a new toggle letting users remove the visible watermark from AI-generated images, videos, and songs created with Nano Banana, Omni, and Lyria...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/290b301f56b32303d04f97b629d2495e?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/290b301f56b32303d04f97b629d2495e?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"TechCrunch","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"TechCrunch","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tc","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-will-now-allow-users-to-remove-visible-watermark-from-its-ai-generations-xeayxl0yf","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"google,google-gemini","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"TechCrunch","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Google will now allow users to remove visible watermark from its AI generations"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-will-now-allow-users-to-remove-visible-watermark-from-its-ai-generations-xeayxl0yf#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I remove the visible watermark from images generated with Google's Nano Banana or Gemini?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, Google added a toggle to turn off the visible watermark on AI generations made with Nano Banana, Omni, and Lyria models.
