Google lets users remove visible watermarks from its AI creations

Google will now let people take off the visible watermarks from its AI-generated images, videos, and songs. The change won't affect the invisible SynthID watermark or C2PA metadata, which are still used for transparency. The option to turn off visible watermarks will be available in Gemini and Flow, with Search support coming soon.
