SynthID is invisible; the Gemini logo is not
Visible logo: alpha-blended overlay you can see — reverse-alpha inverts the blend and recovers the pixels underneath.
SynthID: provenance data embedded in the media signal. There is no visible geometry to slice, so a watermark remover has nothing to invert.
What PixelClean actually cleans
- Visible Gemini image logo overlays on original downloads
- Visible Veo / Gemini video marks on original exports
- Not: SynthID, C2PA-style invisible provenance, screenshots with lost alpha
Turning off AI Studio’s watermark setting does not remove SynthID
The media watermark toggle controls the visible mark on new generations where policy allows. Invisible provenance is a separate system. Details: AI Studio watermark settings guide.
FAQ
Can you remove a SynthID watermark?
No. Invisible provenance is outside reverse-alpha scope.
Is SynthID the same as the Gemini logo watermark?
No — visible overlay vs invisible embedded mark. PixelClean handles the visible overlay only.
What watermark can PixelClean remove?
Visible Gemini/Veo logos on original exports. Try Image Studio or Video Studio.
