Every image made with Gemini 2.5 Flash comes with an invisible digital watermark called SynthID.
Instagram is full of new AI photo trends, and two of them are making big waves, which are the Nano Banana 3D portraits and the retro saree edits. Both use Google’s Gemini Nano model and are giving people fresh, creative ways to edit their selfies.
The Nano Banana feature turns normal selfies into cute, cartoon-like 3D portraits, and these edits make faces look shiny, with big eyes and toy-like features, almost like small figurines.
The style is fun and playful. Many people are using it for profile pictures, memes, and mood boards, making it one of the most popular filters online right now.
Alongside Nano Banana, another style has gone viral, which is the retro saree edit. This trend turns photos into 90s-style vintage portraits.
The AI gives the subject a saree, retro curls, and flowers in the hair. Warm lighting and deep shadows make the image look cinematic, like an old Bollywood poster, and it’s nostalgic but modern at the same time.
Since AI photos can sometimes look too real, Google has added safety steps. Every image made with Gemini 2.5 Flash comes with an invisible digital watermark called SynthID.
“All images created or edited with Gemini 2.5 Flash Image include an invisible SynthID digital watermark to clearly identify them as AI-generated. Build with confidence and provide transparency for your users,” says information on aistudio.google.com.
This watermark can’t be seen with the naked eye, but special tools can detect it. It helps confirm that an image was AI-made and prevents misuse or deepfakes.
AI edits are fun, but it’s important to protect your privacy. Here’s how:
