Topaz Gigapixel is an AI image upscaler that makes photos larger and sharper without losing the detail of the original. It is trained on millions of images and runs on Mac and Windows as a plugin or a standalone app. Nine enhancement models cover upscaling, lossless zoom, restoration and face recovery, and images can be enlarged about 6x. Rendering is unlimited both locally and in the cloud. Gigapixel is included in the Topaz Studio bundle at $399 per year, alongside the other Topaz apps.
Photographers who print large, crop heavily or work with older files form the core audience, along with publishers, event and wedding shooters, fine art studios and anyone restoring archives. Local rendering keeps files on the user's own computer, which matters for confidential or proprietary material, while cloud rendering offers a faster route for quick fixes. Enterprise users can ask about custom solutions and an API for production workflows.
Typical jobs include enlarging a low-resolution client image for a poster, recovering faces in small group photos, restoring scanned prints, and replacing small JPEG submissions with larger versions for a publishing workflow. A wedding photographer can crop tight on a candid shot and rebuild detail afterwards, while a designer can prepare web graphics for high-resolution displays. Because it works as a plugin, it can sit inside an existing photo-editing workflow instead of forcing a separate step. Studio plans add cloud image concurrency and monthly cloud video credits, and the Pro tier extends the export limit to 100MP.
