Google opens SynthID watermark detector for public media checks
Google has made SynthID Detector available to the public, allowing people to check whether images, videos or audio contain watermarks associated with AI-generated media. The tool could help users verify some online content without asking an AI system to assess its own output, but it does not identify all AI-made media.
Users upload a file to SynthID.com and receive a result within seconds. The detector checks for SynthID marks used by Google and partners including OpenAI, NVIDIA and Kakao; Apple support is still in development. It requires sign-in and allows about 10 checks a day. Because it looks only for specific watermarks, it may miss media from tools that do not use SynthID, and it does not show which parts of a file were AI-generated.
- Google’s SynthID Detector is now open to everyone.
- It checks for watermarks in images, videos and audio.
- It cannot detect AI media without supported watermarks.
