Topaz Video AI focuses specifically on video footage enhancement with temporal consistency to maintain smooth playback while improving visual quality, including features like 4K upscaling and slow motion generation. Gigapixel AI is a specialized upscaling tool capable of enlarging images up to 16x their original pixel count, making it ideal for large-format printing or recovering detail from low-resolution source files.
Topaz AI's desktop applications (Photo AI, Video AI, Gigapixel) process images locally on your computer using your own GPU and CPU, meaning your images never leave your machine. This provides faster processing for large batches and full privacy. Additionally, Topaz Labs offers a separate suite of cloud-based apps for quick fixes and enhancements accessible from any device, including tools like Express, Unblur, Faces, and Sharpen.
Bloom and Astra are newer creative tools from Topaz Labs. Bloom offers creative upscaling up to 8x, going beyond simple resolution increase to intelligently reimagine and enhance visual details in a more generative way. Astra provides creative video upscaling with similar generative enhancement capabilities for moving footage. Both represent Topaz Labs' expansion from purely corrective enhancement into AI-powered creative visual improvement.

This includes API access for integrating Topaz AI's enhancement capabilities directly into production pipelines, custom solutions tailored to specific business needs, and the Starlight platform for enterprise workflows. These options are designed for studios, agencies, and businesses that need to process large volumes of images and video at scale with consistent quality.
Topaz Gigapixel AI can upscale images up to 16x their original pixel count, which is among the highest in the industry. For example, a 2-megapixel image could theoretically be enlarged to 32 megapixels. The AI models create believable detail that appears naturally generated rather than artificially interpolated, making it suitable for large-format printing, cropping recovery, and preparing low-resolution assets for high-resolution displays or publications.
