Google Gemini AI now lets users remove visible watermarks on media

Google has introduced a setting in its Gemini AI and Flow video generator that allows users to toggle off visible watermarks on AI-generated images, videos, and music. This update removes the "sparkle" watermark previously shown in the bottom-right corner of media.

Why it matters: Allowing users to remove watermarks provides greater flexibility and control over AI-generated content, potentially increasing its usability for personal and professional purposes. It also reflects Google's evolving approach to transparency and user customization in AI media tools.

What this means for you: Creators may want to watch whether this becomes a usable production tool or changes content workflows.
