As AI tools become better and easier to use, having clear context about the content you encounter online helps you make informed decisions about what to trust. Since launching Google SynthID in 2023, we’ve helped people identify AI-generated media using imperceptible watermarks across images, video, and audio. To date, we’ve watermarked over 180 billion images and videos, along with 240,000 years of audio content.
Last year, we introduced an early version of the SynthID Detector to help media professionals verify AI-generated content. Now, we’re expanding access to everyone – with the tool available globally in English starting today.
With the new SynthID Detector, anyone can easily check if an image, video, or audio file was made with AI from Google or our partners, including OpenAI, NVIDIA, Kakao, and soon, Apple.
This tool joins our built-in verification features in Search, the Gemini app, and Chrome, which now regularly handle over 1 million requests daily. It’s all part of our ongoing work to give you more context about the media you see online, so you can navigate the web with confidence.
