Google May Let Users Remove Visible Watermark from Gemini AI Images

Google appears to be developing an option to remove the visible watermark overlay from images generated by its Gemini AI using the Nano Banana feature. Currently, Gemini adds a small visual marker indicating AI origin, alongside the invisible SynthID watermark. It remains unclear whether the change would also apply to previously generated images.

TL;DR

Google may soon allow users to generate images with Gemini’s Nano Banana without a visible watermark.

Google appears to be working to bring this highly-requested feature to Gemini.

We’re unsure of how it could work, and whether it would also allow removing watermarks from previously generated images.

AI-driven image generation has become much better over the years. While generating images with AI , you no longer have to worry about wonky alphabets, extra fingers on your subjects’ hands, or other senseless details — the signs are far more discreet . With this progress, AI models have evolved newer watermarking techniques so you don’t worry about unsightly stamps on the masterpieces for which you’ve prompted. While Google has been relying on invisible SynthID watermarks in images generated by AI, it also adds a tiny visual overlay to signify the source of the image. Since it’s easy to remove and unsightly, Google might give users the option to remove logo-based watermarks from Gemini-made images and rely solely on other invisible means.

This is already being worked on at Google, which could soon allow users to create images without visible watermarks.
