Google Launches Public SynthID Website for AI Content Detection
Key points
- Google launched SynthID.com for public AI content verification.
- Supports images, videos, and audio from various AI models.
- Detects invisible watermarks from Google, OpenAI, Nvidia, and Kakao.
- Apple AI features will also be supported soon.
- Over 1 million daily requests are made to verify content.
Public Access to AI Content Verification
Google has made its SynthID Detector web tool publicly available, allowing users to identify AI-created or AI-edited content. The new website, SynthID.com, enables anyone to upload images, videos, or audio clips to check for AI-generated watermarks. This expands access to a tool previously limited to journalists, media professionals, and researchers who tested it since its introduction at Google I/O last year.
Broad Compatibility and Supported Formats
The SynthID Detector supports a wide range of media formats. For images, it accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, WEBP, AVIF, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, TIF, and GIF. Video formats include MP4, MOV, and WEBM, while audio files can be WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC, AAC, and M4A. Users need to log in with a Google, OpenAI, or Apple account to use the free service.
SynthID Technology and Partner Integration
SynthID embeds an invisible signal into the pixels of AI-generated images and videos, and into the waveform of AI audio. This technology is integrated into Google's AI models such as Nano Banana, Veo, Lyria, Gemini, Flow, ProducerAI, and Vids. Key AI players like OpenAI, Nvidia, and Kakao also support SynthID, and Apple is expected to add support for its AI features, including Image Playground, soon. Google states that Gemini alone has integrated SynthID with over 180 billion images and videos, plus 240,000 years of audio.
Addressing AI Content Identification Needs
The public release of SynthID.com aims to address the growing challenge of identifying AI-generated content online. Previously, checking for SynthID watermarks was a more convoluted process, often requiring interaction with the Gemini app. The dedicated website simplifies this, providing a direct method for verification. Google also integrates SynthID verification into the Gemini app and Google Chrome, reporting approximately 1 million content verification requests daily.
