Google is introducing a new feature that gives users the ability to remove visible watermarks from content created by its artificial intelligence tools, with availability limited to supported regions.

The option applies to images generated by the Gemini “Nano Banana” model and will also be extended to videos produced by Gemini Omni and songs created with Lyria. Access is currently available through Gemini and Flow, with a rollout to Google’s Search AI Mode expected soon.

However, the removal feature will not be offered in countries or regions where displaying an AI watermark is required by law. Even when visible markings are removed, Google will continue to embed invisible identifiers into AI-generated content using SynthID technology and C2PA metadata to maintain provenance.

Google notes that removing a visible watermark does not make AI-generated content undetectable. Users can still ask Gemini whether an image was created or altered with AI, as the system can analyze hidden provenance information and identify SynthID markers where available. This approach separates visible labeling from behind-the-scenes identification methods.

The update comes amid growing debate over AI-generated media, as technology companies face increasing pressure to make synthetic content identifiable while giving users more control over how it appears when shared online.
