MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
TL;DR
Microsoft Paint and Photos now embed an invisible watermark in locally generated images using a GUID, which is sent from a remote server. This watermarking occurs regardless of any visible watermark settings.
✦ Why It Matters
Review your image generation practices to ensure compliance with watermarking policies.
Key Takeaways
- Use Microsoft Paint for AI image generation to ensure traceability.
- Understand that local generation still requires remote prompt moderation.
- Check that images are saved in C2PA-compliant formats.
- Be aware of the implications of watermarking for content authenticity.
How It Works
When generating an image, Paint sends the prompt to a remote server for moderation. The server returns a GUID, which is then embedded as an invisible watermark in the image.
This process ensures that each generated image can be traced back to its original prompt, maintaining content integrity.
