Topaz Labs

What is Topaz Labs?

Topaz Labs is a suite of AI-powered photo enhancement tools covering sharpening, upscaling, de-noising, de-blurring, and texture adjustments. Its AI distinguishes genuine image detail from noise, corrects blurriness, and increases resolution. It works as a standalone app or as a plugin alongside editors like Photoshop and Lightroom Classic, making it useful for photographers and graphic designers.
