TL;DR
- Google has introduced a new setting in Gemini called Media Watermark.
- This setting allows you to remove visible watermarks from images, videos, and music creations.
When creating content with Gemini, you could always count on a visible watermark being stamped on your creation. However, Android Authority recently spotted evidence suggesting that this would change in the future. Sure enough, Google has updated Gemini with this new option.
Google has rolled out a new setting in Gemini called Media Watermark. You can find the option by opening Settings, located in the left bar. It appears near the bottom of the menu, as the third to last option. Hovering over Media Watermark reveals two options: On and Off.
When left on, any creation you generate will still have a visible watermark. Selecting Off removes the watermark. This applies to images, videos, and music made with Gemini.
Rolling out over the next few days, you can decide if your image, video, and music creations made with Gemini will have visible watermarks. Invisible SynthID watermarks and C2PA metadata will always stay embedded in the background.
Although the visible watermark will be removed if you turn Media Watermark off, that doesn’t mean all watermarks will be gone. Google confirms that invisible SynthID watermarks and C2PA metadata will remain embedded in your creations.
This change comes after Josh Woodward, Google’s VP leading Gemini, AI Studio, and Google Labs, asked users about their biggest complaints with Gemini. Removing the visible watermark was among the top 10 most popular requests from that feedback.
