How to remove a Gemini sparkle watermark in the browser (no account)

Gemini stills and Veo / Flow clips often come with a small sparkle in the corner. Google is rolling out a Media watermark toggle, but it only applies to new generations — and in India it often needs Ultra. Files you already exported keep the mark.

This is the path I use.

1. Export the original file

Download the PNG/JPG from Gemini (or the MP4 from Veo / Flow). Don’t screenshot the player. Don’t send it through WhatsApp first.

2. Instant, in the browser

If it’s a still, you don’t need an account.

  1. Open unmark.ink
  2. Drop the image (Instant)
  3. Download the PNG

Cleanup runs in the tab. That’s the free path.

3. Video is different

A Veo or Google Flow clip has the sparkle on every frame. Instant won’t do that. Drop the MP4 on the same site; Cloud keeps it in Library until you download.

4. What this is not

Unmark is built for the Google sparkle, not every logo, caption, or stock bug. If you need a transparent cutout after the sparkle is gone, there’s a background-removal tool under Tools.

Why I built it

I was shipping Gemini stills to clients and cropping the corner off. That’s a bad crop. A small in-browser tool was enough for stills; video needed a saved job.

I’m the maker. If Instant misses a 9:16 export, comment with the model and I’ll look.

Try Instant: https://www.unmark.ink
