How to remove SynthID
Drop your image or video into the tool above and hit Clean. It takes out the SynthID watermark and every AI tag in one pass, then gives you a clean copy to download and post.
No sign-up, no settings. You see what the file carries first, then clean it with one click.
What we remove
SynthID is Google’s invisible AI watermark, added by Gemini, Imagen, Veo and Google Photos AI edits. On top of it, Google tools write ordinary AI tags — C2PA Content Credentials and IPTC fields — that platforms read on upload.
Clean removes the lot: the watermark and the tags together. You don’t have to know which mark your file carries; one button handles all of them.
What to do for different files
Whatever your file is, the tool above handles it. A quick guide to what you’re dealing with:
- A real photo you edited with a Google AI tool, such as Reimagine in Magic Editor or a change in Gemini: clean it and post the clean copy — a false AI label on a real photo is exactly what this is for.
- A photo or video flagged on social media: clean it before you upload, so the file carries no AI marks the platform can read.
- A file made fully by AI: you can still clean it, but if you share it, keep the disclosure — most platforms ask for it, and so do we.
Is SynthID behind your Instagram or Facebook label?
Often the AI tags in the file are what triggers a label, and sometimes the watermark plays a part too. You don’t have to figure out which: cleaning the file takes out both.
Drop your file into the tool above, clean it, and post the clean copy. There is nothing in the file left for a platform to read as AI.
SynthID in photos and video
SynthID turns up in more than still images. Clean removes it wherever it appears:
- Photos from Gemini, Imagen, Nano Banana and Google Photos AI edits.
- Videos made or edited with Google’s Veo or Flow.
- Files that also carry C2PA Content Credentials or IPTC AI tags — those come off in the same pass.
Remove SynthID from a video
Video works the same way. Drop an MP4 or MOV into the tool above and hit Clean: it takes out the SynthID watermark and the AI metadata, and gives you a clean copy to upload.
If the clip was generated by AI from scratch, keep the disclosure when you post it — most platforms ask for that, and viewers deserve to know.
What Clean removes, and what it can’t
One click clears every AI mark in the file. Two things stay with the platform, not the file:
- Removes: the SynthID watermark, C2PA Content Credentials, IPTC Digital Source Type values such as trainedAlgorithmicMedia, XMP AI fields and edit history, AI generator settings, and, if you choose, location and camera details.
- Can’t change: a platform’s own AI classifier decision about how the picture looks.
- Can’t change: a label on a post that is already live, or an AI label you added yourself when posting — repost the clean copy instead.
