Topaz Gigapixel AI Pro

Overview

What this release is

Gigapixel does one thing and does it better than a general editor's resize command: it makes a small image large without turning it to mush. A conventional enlargement simply spreads the existing pixels, so the result is soft. Gigapixel instead uses trained models to infer the detail that a higher resolution capture would have held, rebuilding edges, texture, and structure as it scales.

The gain is most obvious on the hard cases. An old scan, a heavily cropped frame, or a low resolution export can be pushed to several times its original size and come out looking like it was shot larger, with hair, foliage, and fabric reconstructed rather than blurred. For print work from small originals, that is the difference between usable and not.

The model selection is what keeps the results honest. Separate models are tuned for faces, for landscapes and general photography, for compressed low quality sources, and for line art, so the program applies the reconstruction appropriate to the content instead of one blunt filter. Face recovery in particular rebuilds features that a generic upscaler would invent badly.

Batch processing handles a whole folder in one run, and the Pro build enables the full model set and the largest output sizes from first launch without a trial limit.
