Topaz Labs deployed Project Starlight in February 2025, a diffusion-model-based video enhancement tool that upscales and restores degraded video to HD quality with frame-to-frame motion consistency.
Project Starlight is described by Topaz Labs as the first diffusion AI model applied to video enhancement rather than video generation. It analyzes hundreds of surrounding frames to restore each frame, achieving temporal consistency — smooth motion without visible flickering between frames. The model has over 6 billion parameters and currently runs via cloud rendering because of its computational demands. It is available as a research preview accessible to any Topaz account holder, with paid cloud credits for longer clips. Starlight models are also included in the Topaz Video subscription and in the Astra web app.
Topaz Labs offers Topaz Gigapixel, an AI-powered image upscaling application that takes low-resolution images as input and produces enlarged images with AI-generated detail, available since 2019.
Topaz Gigapixel AI was described by Topaz Labs as the first commercially available AI image upscaler, launched in 2019. It includes nine AI enhancement models including standard upscaling, face recovery, and generative models (Recover and Redefine) that use diffusion AI to reconstruct or reimagine image details. The tool can upscale images up to 16x and supports use as a standalone app or as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. A commercial-tier product, Gigapixel Pro, is available for studio and enterprise teams.
Topaz Labs offers Topaz Photo, an AI-powered photo editing application that takes images as input and produces sharpened, denoised, or upscaled versions using deep learning models trained on millions of images.
Topaz Photo includes 11 AI-powered tools covering sharpening, denoising, upscaling, face recovery, background removal, colorization, and an autopilot mode that automatically detects and applies suggested enhancements. The software runs locally on Mac and Windows or via cloud rendering, and functions as a standalone app or as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Models are trained on millions of images to identify and correct specific quality issues such as noise, blur, and low resolution.
