Full Steps
Start with a clear original
For clear text and faces, start with your highest-quality original and upload a JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 15 MiB and 20 MP. For occasional uploads, you can try up to three images a day for free, subject to availability; an account balance allows batches of up to 20 images.
Wait for the result
After upload, the tool processes your image automatically and retains its original dimensions. Once uploading is complete, you may close the tab and return in the same browser to follow progress; keep your original for a detailed comparison later.
Inspect text, faces and texture
View the downloaded image at full size and inspect lettering, faces and textures beside the original. Save your copy within one hour of completion; if a quality warning is shown, read it and review the affected details before using the image.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is stripping metadata enough to remove SynthID?
Removing metadata alone leaves the pixel-level SynthID watermark unaddressed. Our tool processes those pixels and removes embedded metadata; use the separate checker to review supported provenance signals if needed.
What affects the time an image takes?
Starting up for the first image, queue activity and dense text can all increase processing time. Watch the individual image status and download once ready.
