What is Topaz Gigapixel?
Topaz Gigapixel is an AI image upscaler from Topaz Labs. It enlarges photos and graphics by up to 16x and tries to add realistic detail instead of only interpolating pixels. It replaces Gigapixel AI, which first launched in 2019.
The app runs on Windows 10/11 and macOS 12–15. You can use it on its own or as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. You pick from a set of enhancement models, including Standard, High Fidelity, Low Res, Text & Shapes, Art & CG, Recover, Redefine and Face Recovery, plus the generative Wonder models. Rendering can happen on your own computer or in the cloud, and batch processing handles large sets of images.
Gigapixel suits photographers, restoration work, print production, and studios that need larger, cleaner files. The Personal plan allows commercial use only for organizations with under $1M in annual revenue. Pro adds full commercial use and seat management.
