Google says 180 billion images and videos now carry SynthID watermarks as detector goes public
Google opened its SynthID Detector publicly and says over 180 billion images and videos carry its watermarks.
Google has opened the SynthID Detector so anyone can check whether an image, video, or audio file carries a SynthID watermark from Google or its partners. The tool supports JPG, PNG, MP4, and MP3 and recognizes marks from models including Gemini, Veo, and Lyria, but it does not identify unmarked AI content. Google says more than 180 billion images and videos are watermarked, and detection in Search, the Gemini app, and Chrome draws about one million verification requests a day. OpenAI, Nvidia, and Kakao also use SynthID for media, and Google expects Apple to join.
