Are Generated Images Watermarked?

Last updated: 2026-01-06

Yes, all images generated by AnyKoma include an invisible digital watermark called SynthID, developed by Google DeepMind. This watermark helps identify AI-generated content and supports transparency in AI media.

What Is SynthID?

SynthID is an invisible watermarking technology embedded directly into AI-generated images at the pixel level. It was developed by Google DeepMind and is automatically applied to images created using Google’s Gemini models, which power AnyKoma’s image generation.

Key characteristics:

  • Invisible to the human eye - The watermark does not affect how your images look
  • Embedded in the image data - Not a visible logo or overlay
  • Robust against edits - Survives common modifications like cropping, resizing, compression, and screenshots

Why Are Images Watermarked?

The watermark serves several purposes:

  1. Transparency - Helps viewers identify AI-generated content
  2. Trust - Supports responsible AI use by enabling provenance verification
  3. Industry standard - Part of broader efforts to distinguish AI content from human-created content

The watermark does not identify you personally or contain any information about your account or prompts.

How Does Detection Work?

SynthID watermarks can be detected using Google’s verification tools:

  • SynthID Detector - Google’s official portal for verifying AI-generated content
  • Probabilistic detection - The detector indicates whether content is watermarked, not watermarked, or uncertain

The detector specifically checks for SynthID’s signature. It does not guess whether an image is AI-generated through other means.

Does This Affect My Use of Images?

The watermark does not restrict how you can use your images:

  • You can still use images according to your subscription plan rights
  • The watermark is invisible and does not affect image quality
  • Images can be edited, shared, and used normally

Can the Watermark Be Removed?

While the watermark is designed to be robust, no watermarking system is perfect. Extreme image modifications may degrade the watermark. However, attempting to remove the watermark does not affect your rights to use the images under your subscription plan.
