Quick answer
Google Gemini now lets users disable visible watermarks on AI-generated images, videos, and music via the Media Watermark settings.
Google has added a new setting to its generative AI service, Gemini, allowing users to remove visible watermarks from generated content. The Media Watermark option, located in the settings menu, lets users disable branding for images, videos, and music tracks.
Previously, all materials generated by Gemini automatically included a prominent watermark. However, with the update, users can now choose whether to keep or hide it. Google emphasized that technical tags—including invisible SynthID and C2PA metadata—will remain in files to identify AI-generated content.
The change follows user feedback. Josh Woodward, Google's Vice President overseeing Gemini, previously noted that the request to remove watermarks ranked among the top 10 most popular service requests. The new feature will be available to all users over the next few days.
