GoKawiilGoogle launches standalone SynthID.com site to detect AI watermarks from multiple vendors
Google has opened a public website, SynthID.com, that lets anyone check images, video, or audio for invisible SynthID watermarks. The tool now recognizes watermarks from partner platforms including OpenAI, Nvidia, and Kakao, with Apple support coming soon, rather than only detecting Google's own Gemini-generated content as before. Google says Gemini alone has embedded SynthID in over 180 billion images and videos and 240,000 years of audio.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Previously, verifying AI watermarks required going through Gemini directly or being part of a trusted tester program, which Google says produced inconsistent results. By centralizing detection across multiple AI providers' watermarking systems, Google could be positioning SynthID as a de facto cross-industry standard for verifying synthetic media, though the simplified yes/no output offers less detail than the internal tool used to.
- SynthID.com is a new public website for detecting AI watermarks across multiple providers' content
- The tool now supports watermarks from OpenAI, Nvidia, Kakao, and soon Apple, not just Google's Gemini
- Gemini alone has embedded SynthID in over 180 billion images/videos and 240,000 years of audio
