Topaz Labs

Photo and video upscaling suite

PaidAI media generationtopazlabs.com

What it is

Long-running enhancement specialist covering upscaling, denoise, sharpen, frame interpolation and deinterlacing across desktop apps (Gigapixel, Photo, Video) and cloud tools (Astra, Bloom, Image Web). Adobe agreed to acquire Topaz Labs in June 2026.

Why it earns a slot

The professional standard for restoring real footage and photographs rather than inventing new ones - denoising archival video, taking 1080p masters to 4K, rescuing soft scans. Desktop apps render locally, so there is no upload cap or per-image cloud fee.

Know before you commit

Perpetual licences were discontinued in September 2025; it is subscription-only now and old keys stop receiving model updates. Standard plans limit commercial use to organisations under $1M annual revenue - full commercial rights require a Pro tier.

Getting started

No public self-serve API; enterprise and custom integrations run through sales.
