Users on social media recently discovered a controversial feature in Google’s Gemini AI model: the ability to remove watermarks from images, including those from major stock image providers like Getty Images.

People appear to be using Google's new Gemini model to remove watermarks from images, according to reports on social media.

Social media users have recently discovered that Google's new Gemini 2.0 Flash AI model can be used to remove watermarks from images. As reported by TechCrunch, this isn't completely new. Other AI image models have been able to remove watermarks. However, Gemini 2.0 Flash appears to be better than all other AI models at this particular task.

If you head over to Gemini on the web, you can directly start talking to Google's AI chatbot (via 9to5Google ). Previously, you had to log into your Google account before you could chat with Gemini. However, you will not get the full Gemini experience without logging in to your Google account.
