Topaz Labs is an AI-powered image and video enhancement company with over 20 years of experience in the industry. Trusted by more than 3 million users and used by some of the largest companies in the United States, Topaz Labs develops specialized AI models that produce results that look genuinely natural rather than artificially processed. The company offers both professional desktop applications and browser-based tools, making industry-leading enhancement technology accessible to everyone from everyday users to professional filmmakers and editors.

What does Topaz Labs do?

Topaz Labs builds AI-powered tools for enhancing, restoring, and upscaling images and video. Its products span the full range of visual media — from removing noise and sharpening photos to upscaling old footage to 4K and boosting video frame rates. The key distinction is that Topaz Labs' AI models don't simply apply filters or stretch existing content — they reconstruct images and video frame by frame, recovering and recreating genuine detail that would otherwise be lost. The product lineup includes desktop applications and a suite of browser-based tools for quick online enhancement without any software to download.

What is Topaz Labs' video enhancer?

Topaz Labs' Video Enhancer is a browser-based AI tool for improving the quality, clarity, and resolution of any video — directly in your browser, with no software download required. It combines upscaling, sharpening, and frame rate enhancement into a single workflow, allowing you to transform low-resolution, blurry, or choppy footage into sharp, high-quality output at up to 4K resolution. The tool is used by everyday users recovering old family footage, content creators polishing videos for YouTube, businesses improving marketing materials, and videographers turning previously unusable clips into high-quality assets.

How does Topaz Labs' video enhancer work?

Topaz Labs' Video Enhancer uses a deep learning model trained on millions of real-world video frames. Rather than simply stretching existing pixels — which is how most basic tools work and why they produce blurry or distorted results — the AI analyzes each frame and intelligently reconstructs fine detail, motion, and texture at the target resolution. You upload your video, choose your settings including output resolution, AI model preset, optional sharpening, and optional frame rate boost, preview a short clip before the full render, and then download the finished video. All processing runs in the cloud, so there is no burden on your local machine.

What makes Topaz Labs' video enhancer better?

Most video enhancement tools apply a single broad filter or stretch footage to a larger size, which adds resolution without adding genuine quality. Topaz Labs' Video Enhancer takes a fundamentally different approach: its AI models reconstruct video frame by frame, recreating the fine detail and natural motion that was originally captured rather than approximating it. The tool combines upscaling, sharpening, frame rate boost, and noise reduction in a single pass, so multiple problems are solved without needing separate tools. It is backed by over 20 years of AI research and development specifically focused on image and video quality — a depth of expertise that generic enhancement tools do not have.

What types of videos can I enhance?

Topaz Labs' Video Enhancer works on a wide range of footage. Videos at 360p, 480p, or 720p are strong candidates for upscaling to 1080p or 4K. Blurry, choppy, or low-frame-rate videos also benefit significantly from the tool's sharpening and frame interpolation capabilities. Old archival footage, home videos, marketing content, and creator clips are all common use cases.

What AI presets are available?

Topaz Labs' Video Enhancer includes tailor-made AI model presets designed for different types of footage, including Old Video, Art & CG, and Standard. Selecting the preset that best matches your content helps the AI apply the most appropriate reconstruction approach and deliver the most natural-looking result.

Creative Video Upscaler - Enhance GenAI Video to 4K

How to apply creative upscaling to your GenAI videos

Creative upscaling for videos is where not only is the video's resolution increased, but the subjects within the video are generatively enhanced as well. This means details and textures within the video are enhanced and reimagined, resulting in a polished, max-quality video that is ready for use.

1. Upload video file
First, upload any video you want to enhance. Creative upscaling works best on generative AI videos that were natively generated at 480p, 720p, or 1080p.

Trustpilot Review

"I'm redoing some old videos through Topaz. I windsurf and in some of the footage I'm 1km away and pixellated.
After redoing the whole clip through Topaz the bad bits have gone from 40% ok to 80% and quite passable. The whole video looks heaps better."

"easy to learn, watched a couple of youtube videos to see what it could do. I was convinced and bought the package. I found that AI video could greatly improve 8mm film that I had captured, took out the grain, sharpened up the image and stabilized the jitters."
