Topaz Labs

Topaz is the counterpoint to creative upscalers like Magnific: where Magnific invents beautiful detail, Topaz recovers real detail — trained to respect what was actually captured. Photo AI cleans high-ISO noise, upscalers add resolution without rewriting faces, and Video AI performs deinterlacing, stabilization and frame interpolation that rescue decades-old footage. The result is defensible: newsrooms, courts, archivists and print professionals use output that must remain evidence.

The tradeoffs: everything runs locally on serious GPUs (ownership of data, but hardware cost), pricing is per-app with upgrade cycles, and processing is slow compared to cloud one-clicks. Against Magnific the rule is simple — Topaz when the truth matters, Magnific when the impression does. For photographers, video restoration houses and anyone with archives to rescue, Topaz is the professional standard.
