Google's AI model removes watermarks from images

Users are reportedly using Google's new Gemini 2.0 Flash AI model to remove watermarks from images, including those from stock media companies like Getty Images. This follows the model's recent expansion to include image generation and editing features. Gemini 2.0 Flash can not only remove watermarks but also fill in gaps left by their removal. While other AI tools can do this, Gemini 2.0 Flash is noted for its effectiveness and is currently free to use. The model is labeled as "experimental" and is available in developer tools, but it has limitations with certain watermarks. Other AI models, like Claude 3.7 Sonnet, refuse to remove watermarks due to ethical concerns, as doing so without consent is illegal under U.S. copyright law.
