How to get rid of Gemini logo on Nano Banana pro images?
That corner 'Gemini sparkle' logo appears for free and Google AI Pro users in the Gemini app. To remove it legitimately, subscribe to Google AI Ultra (which generates images without it), or create your images in Google AI Studio or the Gemini API, which don't add it. Cropping also removes it. The invisible SynthID watermark always stays.
Why — the first-principles explanation
The visible logo on Nano Banana Pro images is the Gemini 'sparkle' — a branding-and-disclosure mark Google overlays in the corner. It is tied to your access tier, not to the image itself, which is exactly why it can be avoided by changing how you generate.
Google removes the sparkle for Google AI Ultra subscribers, so upgrading is the official fix if you work in the app. If you don't want to subscribe, generate through Google AI Studio or the Gemini API instead: those developer surfaces return images without the visible sparkle (they still embed invisible SynthID). Same Pro model, no corner logo.
Because the sparkle is just overlaid pixels in a corner, cropping the image also removes it — at the cost of a little frame area. That's a quick manual option when you only need one clean image.
What you cannot remove is the invisible SynthID watermark, which rides in every image to prove AI origin and is built to survive edits. That's by design and isn't the visible logo people are asking about. The clean summary: upgrade to Ultra, or switch to AI Studio/API, or crop — any of these drops the visible Gemini logo, while SynthID stays put.
An example that makes it click
The Gemini logo is like the little date-stamp some cameras burn into the corner of a photo. If you flip a setting (upgrade to Ultra) or use a different camera mode (AI Studio or the API), the stamp never appears. And if you already have a stamped photo, you can just crop the corner off. But every photo also has hidden EXIF data proving which camera took it — that's SynthID, and it stays no matter what. The visible stamp is optional; the hidden record isn't.
How to do it
- To avoid the logo in the app, subscribe to Google AI Ultra, which generates images without the visible sparkle.
- Or generate your Pro images in Google AI Studio, which doesn't add the sparkle.
- Or use the Gemini API, whose output also omits the visible sparkle.
- For a one-off, crop the corner to remove the visible logo (you lose a little frame).
- Understand the invisible SynthID watermark remains in every image and cannot be reliably removed.
Key facts
- The visible Gemini sparkle appears for free and Google AI Pro users in the Gemini app.
- Google AI Ultra subscribers generate images without the visible sparkle.
- Images from Google AI Studio and the Gemini API omit the visible sparkle.
- Cropping removes the visible corner logo but reduces image area.
- The invisible SynthID watermark remains on all images and is designed to survive edits (as of 2026-07).

Seeing that little Gemini logo in the corner of your Nano Banana Pro images? That's the Gemini sparkle, and it shows up for free and Google AI Pro users in the Gemini app. The good news: it's tied to your plan, not the image, so it's easy to avoid. The official fix is to subscribe to Google AI Ultra, which generates images without it. Don't want to pay more? Create your images in Google AI Studio or through the Gemini API instead — those don't add the sparkle at all. And if you already have a stamped image, you can just crop the corner, though you'll lose a little of the frame. One thing you can't remove, though, is the invisible SynthID watermark that's baked into every image to show it's AI-made — that's by design and it stays. So to lose the visible logo: go Ultra, switch to AI Studio or the API, or crop.
