Google Gemini Users Can Now Hide Watermarks on Their AI-Generated Media

Google announced today that it’s starting to roll out a new option to hide visible watermarks on media content created with its Gemini chatbot. That includes images, videos, and music creations, which will still have invisible SynthID watermarks and C2PA metadata to make it possible for everyone to know that they’ve been created with AI.

The option to hide visible watermarks on content generated with Gemini will be rolling out over the next few days in the standalone Gemini and Google Flow apps. It’s also coming to the Google Search app soon.

In the Gemini app, users will be able to turn off the watermarks by going to Settings > Media watermark. “This applies to watermarks on all images (Nano Banana), videos (Omni), and songs (Lyria) except in countries where it’s required by law to keep them,” said Josh Woodward, VP, Google Labs, Gemini, & AI Studio.

✅ Papercut fixed: You can now toggle visible watermarks on or off in Gemini and Flow, with Search coming next.

Even though it’s becoming possible to hide visible watermarks on media content created with Gemini, users will still be able to easily check if any media content was AI-generated using Gemini or Google Search. This can be done by simply asking “Is this AI-generated?” in both apps.
