Google is adding digital watermarks to images edited with Magic editor AI. The watermark applies specifically to images that are altered using the Reimagine feature found in Magic Editor on Pixel 9 devices.Announced in 2024, Reimagine utilizes generative AI to alter images.
Starting this week, Google Photos will begin using synthid to mark images edited with generative AI using Reimagine in Magic Editor. SynthID is a technology that embeds an imperceptible, digital watermark directly into AI-generated images, audio, text, or video.
Google has recently announced that it will also watermark the images edited using AI. The company will use SynthID to mark images edited with generative AI using Reimagine in Magic Editor. This system is already used with fully created images via the Google model to generate images known as Imagen.
These watermarks help track the adjustments as it guarantees the descriptive data of the image, and can only be verified via a tool “about this image provided by Google.”
Watermark technologies are an vital step in the field of fighting artificial intelligence, but some experts see that they are not sufficient alone, as companies need a variety of technical methods to ensure the credibility of digital content on a large scale.
Google began to put notifications in describing files in its Google Photos service since last October to clarify if the photos had been subjected to artificial intelligence modifications.

How does the new digital watermarking technology in Magic Editor AI work,and what is its primary purpose?
Google Representative:
The digital watermarking technology in Magic Editor AI embeds an imperceptible,digital watermark directly into AI-generated images,audio,text,or video. This technology, known as SynthID, ensures that adjustments made to the images can be tracked and verified. The purpose is to provide a reliable way to verify the authenticity of the image data.
Editor:
How does the Reimagine feature in Magic Editor contribute to the effectiveness of these digital watermarks?
Google Representative:
the Reimagine feature, introduced in 2024, uses generative AI to alter images. By embedding the SynthID technology directly into these images, it becomes possible to track and verify any modifications made with the reimagine feature. This ensures that the descriptive data of the images remains credible and can only be verified with a tool provided by Google.
Editor:
How will Google Photos integrate this technology to verify AI-modified images?
Google Representative:
Starting this week, Google Photos will begin using SynthID to mark images edited with generative AI using the Reimagine feature in Magic Editor. This will help users track modifications made to their images, and only Google’s tool ”about this image” can verify these watermarks.
Editor:
Why is this technology significant in the context of combating misinformation and protecting digital content?
Google Representative:
These watermark technologies are vital in the fight against misinformation and protect digital content by providing a reliable way to verify its authenticity. Tho, experts agree that this alone is not sufficient; companies need a variety of technical methods to ensure the credibility of digital content on a large scale.
Editor:
What notifications and changes have been made in google Photos to inform users about AI modifications?
Google Representative:
Google began to put notifications in describing files in its Google Photos service since last October to clarify if the photos had been subjected to artificial intelligence modifications. this clarity helps users understand the extent of the modifications and their impact.
Conclusion
The integration of SynthID and digital watermarking in Google’s Magic Editor AI is a significant step forward in ensuring the authenticity and credibility of AI-modified images. This technology, combined with other technical methods, will play a critical role in combating misinformation and protecting digital content.
