Benchmark Methodology
Gemini 3 Pro images were tested across 8 AI detectors using a curated dataset of AI-generated and real photographs. The model uses 1 watermark type (SynthID).
Each detector classifies images as AI-generated or real. We measure the detection rate — the percentage of Gemini 3 Pro images correctly identified as AI-generated. Higher rates mean the detector catches Gemini 3 Pro content more reliably.

SynthID Watermarking
All images generated by Gemini include SynthID, Google's proprietary invisible watermarking:
How SynthID Works
- Embedded at the pixel level during generation
- Invisible to human perception
- Uses two neural networks (encoder/decoder)
- Survives common image transformations
SynthID Durability
SynthID is designed to survive:
- JPEG and WebP compression
- Cropping and resizing
- Color adjustments and filters
- Screenshots and re-uploads
- Format conversions
Detection Methods
- Google's official SynthID detector
- Third-party compatible tools
- Confidence-based scoring system
- Multi-level detection thresholds
Detecting Gemini Images
Gemini images are highly detectable due to SynthID:
Detection Rates
| Condition | Detection Rate |
|---|---|
| Unmodified | 95-99% |
| Light compression | 90-95% |
| Heavy compression | 80-90% |
| Cropped/resized | 85-95% |
| Filtered/edited | 75-90% |
| Screenshot | 80-90% |
Detection Tools
- Google's SynthID API
- Hive Moderation
- Our detection service
- Various research tools
Confidence Levels
SynthID reports detection in confidence levels:
- High confidence: Strong watermark detected
- Medium confidence: Watermark likely present
- Low confidence: Possible watermark
- Not detected: No watermark found
