Best & Worst Detectors for Gemini 3 Pro

Services Using Gemini 3 Pro

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.

What is Google Gemini Image Generation?

Google Gemini is Google's multimodal AI assistant that includes powerful image generation capabilities powered by Imagen technology. Available through the Gemini app, web interface, and API, it offers text-to-image generation integrated with Google's conversational AI.

What makes Gemini unique is its tight integration with Google's ecosystem and its implementation of SynthID, Google's advanced invisible watermarking technology for AI-generated content.

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

ConditionDetection Rate
Unmodified95-99%
Light compression90-95%
Heavy compression80-90%
Cropped/resized85-95%
Filtered/edited75-90%
Screenshot80-90%

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

Removing SynthID from Gemini Images

SynthID is designed to be resilient, but removal is possible:

Removal Methods

  1. Image Reconstruction

    • Use image-to-image with another AI model
    • ControlNet-based regeneration
    • Style transfer techniques
  2. Spectral Processing

    • Analyze frequency domain
    • Target SynthID patterns
    • Preserve visual quality
  3. Neural Filtering

    • AI-trained watermark removal
    • Pattern-aware processing
    • Quality preservation
