Summary
Google now allows users to remove visible watermarks from AI-generated images, videos, and music in Gemini and its Flow video generator by toggling off a 'Media watermark' setting. While the visible "sparkle" watermark in the bottom-right corner can be disabled, Google still embeds invisible SynthID watermarks and C2PA metadata (hidden identification markers that track AI-generated content) in the background of all generated content.
Solution / Mitigation
To remove visible watermarks, toggle off the 'Media watermark' setting in Gemini or Google's Flow video generator.
