Trustpilot Review

"The software works will with my old videos and pictures and even new videos and pictures can pop even more with topaz. I can sorta do the same in adobe products but it takes longer and certain features like the Al upscale are unmatched with topaz."

Customer
Trustpilot Review

"Easy to use program with very good results. I particularly like the upscale and denoise feature which I think is second to none, when it comes to fixing less than ideal photos it can mean the difference between keeping or deleting. Very happy with purchase."

Louis H
Trustpilot Review

"I use Topaz Photo every day, and while I wish there were a few more tools like I have in Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, I'm quite happy with the simplicity and results."

Etienne
Trustpilot Review

"Exceeded my expectations. Used it to upscale some low resolution 1400px images upscales 4x. The results were almost flawless. Very happy and cant wait to see the results on some of my fine art that I will be upscaling and printing."

1 In October 2025, the Windows 10 OS will stop receiving any further Windows Support or updates. Therefore, we strongly recommend updating to Windows 11 to avoid issues and incompatibilities with Topaz Photo. If you remain on Windows 10, make sure to be on the latest Windows 10 updates (minimum build 19045).

2 Snapdragon Processors are now supported in Topaz Photo. See the Snapdragon section for specific information.

3 For large upscales, 24GB of RAM (system memory) or more may be needed, especially if you do not have a dedicated graphics card.

4 These generative enhancements: Super Focus, Dust & Scratch and Standard Max AI are memory-intensive generative models that require 8GB of VRAM to run. They may work with 6GB of VRAM, but will be slow and it is recommended that you have 8GB of VRAM for them to work correctly.

5 If you only have an Integrated graphics card and no Dedicated graphics card, Topaz Photo will work only if you meet the RAM requirement of 16Gb of RAM. However, even with the required amount of RAM, the lack of VRAM will make processing slow (especially large Upscales), and the computer will not work with memory-intensive Generative AI models.

6 Topaz Photo will take 30GB of space in "/ProgramData" folder, 2GB in "/Program Files" and will need an extra 5GB of free available disk space for temp files. We recommend keeping the default install location on the C: drive to avoid plugin conflicts and issues. If Topaz Photo is installed on another drive than C: - it still requires at least 5GB of free extra space on C: to function properly. If there is less than 5GB of space on C:, an in-app warning will appear prompting you to free up space.

1  We highly recommend to be on macOS 14 (Sonoma) or 15 (Sequoia) to be able to use all of the Topaz Photo enhancements. Our Generative AI models require macOS 14 or higher and will not work on macOS 11 (Big Sur), 12 (Monterey) or 13 (Ventura). If you update to the newest macOS 26 (Tahoe) there may be incompatibilities and issues that we are looking into. Make sure to write to support@topazlabs.com to report any issues with the new macOS.

2 For large upscales, 24GB of RAM or more may be needed.

3 We recommend keeping the default install location in the Applications folder to avoid conflicts and issues. Do not place Topaz Photo in a sub-folder within Finder > Applications, or it will cause plugin conflicts.
