Topaz Video AI
  • Upscale models: Increase resolution for delivery targets such as 4K when the source is low resolution or heavily compressed
  • Denoise controls: Reduce noise from low light footage so detail stays clearer without lengthy manual noise reduction passes
  • Restore detail: Improve clarity on older or soft footage and boost perceived sharpness when focus is slightly off in capture
  • Stabilize footage: Smooth handheld shake in post so clips look steadier without reshooting or complex tracking setup work
  • Frame rate conversion: Interpolate frames for slow motion and format changes when you need smoother motion playback output
  • Desktop workflow: Runs locally on Mac and Windows so you can process sensitive media without uploading to cloud editors or services
