You can now turn off Google Gemini’s visible watermarks

你现在可以关闭 Google Gemini 的可见水印了

Google will now allow you to remove visible watermarks from the images, videos, and music made with AI tools. With the update, you can toggle off a new “Media watermark” setting in Gemini and Google’s AI video generator, Flow. Google 现在允许你移除由 AI 工具生成的图像、视频和音乐上的可见水印。通过此次更新，你可以在 Gemini 和 Google 的 AI 视频生成器 Flow 中关闭名为“媒体水印”（Media watermark）的新设置。

When toggled off, Google will remove the “sparkle” watermark that appears in the bottom-right corner of content generated with the company’s Nano Banana and Omni models. Though visible watermarks are now optional, AI-generated content will have invisible SynthID watermarks and C2PA metadata embedded in the background, according to Josh Woodward, the vice president of Google Labs, Gemini, and AI Studio. That means you can still verify if a piece of content has one of these markers by asking Gemini or Search if it’s AI-generated. 关闭该选项后，Google 将移除出现在由公司 Nano Banana 和 Omni 模型生成内容右下角的“闪烁”水印。据 Google Labs、Gemini 和 AI Studio 副总裁 Josh Woodward 表示，尽管可见水印现在变为可选，但 AI 生成的内容仍会在后台嵌入不可见的 SynthID 水印和 C2PA 元数据。这意味着你仍然可以通过询问 Gemini 或搜索来验证某项内容是否带有这些标记，从而判断其是否由 AI 生成。

While this change might make it more difficult to quickly discern if an image or video is AI-generated, many users have already been editing out visible watermarks. Other AI image generators, like OpenAI and Meta’s, also don’t apply visible watermarks. Instead, OpenAI relies on SynthID and C2PA to signal whether something is AI-generated, while Meta launched its own Content Seal standard. Anthropic also announced this week that it’s applying invisible watermarks to both AI-generated text and images. 虽然这一变化可能会使人们更难快速辨别图像或视频是否由 AI 生成，但许多用户此前已经在手动编辑掉这些可见水印。其他 AI 图像生成器（如 OpenAI 和 Meta 的产品）也并未应用可见水印。相反，OpenAI 依靠 SynthID 和 C2PA 来标记内容是否由 AI 生成，而 Meta 则推出了自己的“内容印章”（Content Seal）标准。Anthropic 本周也宣布，其正在为 AI 生成的文本和图像应用不可见水印。

Google plans on rolling out its new watermark setting to Search as well, but the toggle won’t launch in countries that require visible watermarks. Google 计划将这一新的水印设置推广到搜索功能中，但该开关不会在那些强制要求使用可见水印的国家推出。
