Verify Image Exports and SynthID Results

1. Keep the original

Save the source exactly as generated or exported. Record its source and previous edits. Keep every transformed copy separately; removed metadata and original encoding cannot be recovered from a cleaned download.

2. Establish a detector baseline

Test the original with an official verification surface. If it was not positive, the pair cannot demonstrate watermark removal. Visual AI classifiers are not interchangeable with watermark detectors.

3. Make one controlled export

Use metadata mode as a container-cleanup control. For an experimental copy, record resampling, format and quality. Compare the original on the left with the output on the right. JPEG uses a white background for transparency.

4. Retest under the same conditions

Test the exported copy with the same detector. Record the exact verdict and date. External verification can upload files to that provider; the local workspace does not do this automatically. One negative result is not a universal removal guarantee.

5. Match the evidence to the bytes

Download the JSON report with its SHA-256 input and output hashes, actual settings and supported metadata fields. A hash identifies bytes, not watermark status. Reports can contain original location or prompt data, so review them before sharing.

6. Inspect quality

Check fine text, gradients, color, transparency and orientation at full resolution. Keep the source, export, report and detector evidence together. When verification is unavailable, leave the result unverified.
