Topaz Labs

Topaz Labs builds AI tools that helps clean up and enhance photo and video content. If you’ve got footage that’s too noisy, slightly out of focus, or lower res than it should be, this software steps in to fix it—fast. The interface is dead simple. Drop in your file, and the app recommends a set of adjustments like sharpening, denoising, or upscaling. You can fine-tune the results, but most of the time the default is surprisingly on point.

Topaz Photo AI combines features from their earlier tools into one app. It handles sharpening, noise reduction, and upscaling in a single workflow. Topaz Video AI does the same for motion content, with tools for stabilization, frame interpolation, resolution bumps, and motion smoothing. It’s built for editors working with legacy footage, user-generated content, or underproduced assets that still need to look polished. And if you just need upscaling without the extras, Gigapixel AI is still available for image enlargement with strong edge clarity.

The software isn’t lightweight and you’ll need decent hardware to run it efficiently. Export times can lag, especially on large video files. And while the results are usually strong, there’s always a bit of AI weirdness if you push things too far. But if you’re regularly cleaning up assets from clients or trying to salvage less-than-perfect content, Topaz Labs can save time and stress in post.
