Core Capabilities

Topaz Photo AI is a master of Image Enhancement. Its entire purpose is to take your existing photos and elevate them to their maximum potential. It does not generate new images from text prompts or edit video. Think of it as a digital darkroom on steroids, focused exclusively on perfecting image quality.

• Upscaling: Dramatically increase the resolution of your photos for large prints or heavy cropping.
• Noise Reduction: Eliminate digital noise from high-ISO or low-light shots.
• Sharpening: Correct motion blur and missed focus to reveal crisp details.
• Face Recovery: Reconstruct details in blurry faces within portraits and group photos.

Unlock a World of Incredible Features

• ✨ Autopilot: The smart brain of the operation. Autopilot analyzes your entire image, detects subjects and faces, and automatically identifies issues like noise or softness. It then applies the perfect blend of filters and settings for a one-click enhancement.
• 🚀 Upscale & Enhance Resolution: Breathe new life into old photos or crop with confidence. Enlarge images by up to 600% while the AI intelligently fills in real, believable detail, avoiding that blocky, pixelated look of traditional upscaling.
• 🤫 Remove Noise: Say goodbye to grainy images. The advanced AI model removes distracting digital noise while preserving and even enhancing fine details, resulting in incredibly clean and natural-looking photos.
• 🔪 Sharpen: Rescue out-of-focus shots! Whether it’s slight motion blur or a soft lens, Topaz Photo AI can de-blur your image to bring out tack-sharp edges and textures you never knew were there.
• 🧑 Face Recovery AI: A truly magical feature for portrait and event photographers. Autopilot detects small or blurry faces in your shot and applies a specialized AI model to reconstruct features with stunning clarity and realism.
• 💻 Standalone or Plugin: Flexibility is key. Use Topaz Photo AI as a powerful standalone application for batch processing or integrate it directly into your existing workflow as a plugin for Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop.
