Key capabilities
- Embeds invisible, detectable watermarks into AI-generated images, videos, audio, and text at creation time
- Watermarks survive common edits like cropping, compression, filters, noise, and speed changes
- Provides detection via Gemini app or SynthID Detector portal
Core use cases
- 1.Watermarking content in Google products like Gemini, Lyria, and NotebookLM
- 2.Verifying AI-generated or edited media through upload and scan
- 3.Integrating watermarking into custom AI models for partners and developers
Is SynthID Right for You?
Best for
- Developers and AI partners integrating watermarking into their models
- Google AI users verifying content from Gemini, Lyria, etc.
Not ideal for
- Detecting non-Google or unmarked AI-generated content
- High-stakes scenarios requiring absolute certainty against advanced edits or deepfakes
Standout features
- Modifies token probabilities for text without affecting quality
- Resilient to resizing, filtering, compression, and other transformations
- Open-source toolkit available for developers
- Probabilistic detection with clear, uncertain, or no-watermark results

User Feedback Highlights
Most Praised
- Maintains output quality with no noticeable degradation in helpfulness, relevance, or grammar
- Easy verification: upload and scan via Detector portal or query Gemini
- Over 10 billion items watermarked since 2023 in Google products
Common Complaints
- Vulnerable to evasion via translation, heavy rewriting, or adversarial attacks
- Only detects content from SynthID-integrated models (mostly Google)
- Probabilistic detection may yield 'uncertain' results, not foolproof
