خطوة رسمية.. كيف تزيل العلامة المائية في «جيميناي»؟

In a surprising decision that meets the aspirations of content creators, Google has allowed users to remove the visible and prominent watermark that appears by default on AI-generated materials in the Gemini platform, including images, videos, and audio recordings, officially and directly from within the tools without the need for any external applications.

The move, reported by the tech site TechCrunch, places Google on a path consistent with its competitors like Meta and OpenAI, as the system instead relies on hidden technologies embedded in the metadata of files (such as SynthID technology and the C2PA standard) to confirm authenticity without visually disrupting the designs.

Josh Woodward, Vice President of Gemini, confirmed that the option to remove the prominent watermark grants users greater creative freedom, especially in modern models like Nano Banana, Omni, and Lyra, noting that the algorithms will still be able to detect AI-generated media even after the watermark is hidden.

• International exceptions: The option to remove the watermark will not be available to users in countries that impose laws requiring visible watermarks, such as the European Union, China, India, South Korea, and some U.S. states.
• Text controversy: This update comes amid a division sparked by Anthropic after it moved to add watermarks to written texts via its Claude model, opening a wide debate about the feasibility and ease of manipulating those marks.

The availability of this feature is linked to the rollout of recent updates to advanced models like Gemini 3.7, and when it becomes available in your account, you can modify it through the following steps:

• Step one: Open the Gemini app or the video editor app Flow registered to your Google account.
• Step two: Click on the "Settings" button next to your username at the bottom of the screen.
• Step three: Select the "Watermark for media" option, and toggle the switch to off or on as needed.
