About this check

How SynthID works

SynthID embeds a statistical pattern directly into generated output — token selection in text, pixel-level adjustments in images, the spectrogram in audio. Because it lives in the content rather than alongside it, it survives compression, cropping and re-encoding far better than metadata does.

Why detection is restricted

A watermark that anyone can detect is a watermark anyone can learn to remove. Google keeps the detector closed, which makes the scheme robust and makes independent verification impossible at the same time. That trade-off is inherent, not an oversight.

What this page does

It runs every check that can run, reports SynthID as 'Not verifiable', and tells you plainly why. If Google opens a verification interface, this page starts returning real SynthID results with no change on your side.
