I still don't think there's a single GitHub repo that actually removes real SynthID watermarks from Nano Banana 2/NBPro outputs. Most of them are just some research projects that haven't achieved this. The only methods so far I've seen are weird tricks with transparency/overlaying the original image if you're using edits, and also using a diffusion model to regenerate the NB-generated image at low noise levels, but this also modifies the original.

Right I think that’s why you probably need to start with very low levels of denoising and experiment with different approaches.

Set up as a ComfyUI workflow that does a few things: it tries SDXL, Flux, and a couple of different denoising methods at the lowest possible strength (progressively incrementing) to avoid changing the image too much, while also running a SynthID check each time, and repeating this in a loop until the watermark is essentially gone.

At the same time, you’d probably want to add some kind of threshold based on a perceptual hash aka the maximum perceptual quality difference you’re willing to accept.
