Google now lets you remove the watermark from Gemini's creations
Google has launched a new Media Watermark setting in its Gemini platform, enabling users to toggle the visibility of watermarks on their content. Previously mandatory visible watermarks can now be removed for images, videos, and music creations, improving usability. Nevertheless, invisible SynthID watermarks and C2PA metadata will still be attached in the background, ensuring some level of content identification persists.
