Google opens SynthID Detector to all

Google has opened its SynthID Detector to the public, letting anyone check whether an image, video, or audio clip carries its SynthID watermark. The tool was previously limited to select journalists, media professionals, and researchers for testing at Google I/O last year. The site supports common image formats (JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, GIF and others), video (MP4, MOV, WEBM), and audio (WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC, AAC, M4A). Google says SynthID verification is also built into the Gemini app and Chrome, and that 180 billion images and videos carry its watermarks. Ars Technica reports the detector now supports watermarks from all Google's partners and is available globally. It only reports whether Google's own SynthID watermark is present, so it does not establish whether other content is AI-generated.
