Each workflow has its own settings that appear in the processing panel. Settings vary depending on the workflow selected. Once you select your settings, click or hit Command + Enter to start processing. Your browser needs to stay open during the upload, but once processing begins, you are free to close it. You can go ahead and create another batch while you wait.

Once an asset has finished processing you can immediately begin reviewing it without waiting for the rest of your batch to complete.

The main panel offers three ways to compare your original and enhanced asset:

 — Drag the divider across the image to reveal the before and after side by side.

 — View the original and enhanced result in two separate panels at the same time.

 — View just the processed result on its own.

Use the filmstrip on the right to jump between assets in your batch. Or use the My Files page to see all your source and enhanced images.

At the bottom of the results view, click

Getting Started with Topaz Image Web

The ultimate set-it-and-forget-it workflow. Autopilot automatically analyzes your image and determines the best combination of enhancement, noise reduction, sharpening, and upscaling to apply — all in a single run. No model selection or manual adjustments needed. Simply upload your image and let Autopilot handle the rest.

 — Toggle on to preserve and enhance facial detail in the final result.

Use Unblur when your image lacks sharpness due to focus issues or camera movement. Select the blur type that best matches your image and choose whether to apply correction to the subject only or the entire image.

 — Soft Focus, Out of Focus, or Motion Blur

Use Sharpen when your image looks soft, out of focus, or lacks detail. Select the sharpening model that best fits your image and choose whether to apply sharpening to the subject only or the entire image.

 — Standard, Strong, Lens Blur, Wildlife, or Portrait

 — Toggle on to preserve and enhance facial detail

Use Denoise Standard when your image has visible noise or grain from low light conditions or high ISO captures. Select the strength level that best matches the amount of noise in your image.

Use Relight when your image has lighting or exposure issues. Select the option that best describes the lighting problem in your image and Express will apply the appropriate correction.

 — Overexposed, Underexposed, Low Contrast, or Balanced

Use Standard Upscale when you want to increase the resolution of your image while keeping it true to the original. Unlike Creative Upscale, Standard Upscale preserves the existing detail and structure of your image without generating new or additional elements. Best for photos, graphics, and print work where accuracy and fidelity to the source matter most.

 — Standard, High Fidelity, CGI, Natural Enhance, or Low Resolution

Use Photo Restoration to bring old, damaged, or faded photos back to life. Each step in the restoration process can be toggled on or off depending on what your photo needs — from removing dust and scratches to correcting lighting, recovering facial detail, and adding color to black and white images.

 — Toggle on to automatically remove dust, scratches, and surface blemishes

 — Toggle on to correct exposure and lighting balance

 — Toggle on to automatically colorize black and white images

Use Face Enhancer to restore and enhance facial detail in your images. Face recovery is powered by the Natural model, which focuses on realistic, true-to-source facial enhancement. Toggle Adjust Lighting on to also correct the exposure and lighting balance alongside the face recovery.

 — Toggle on to restore and enhance facial detail with natural, realistic results

Use Creative Upscale to enlarge and transform AI-generated images, artwork, and illustrations. Unlike Standard Upscale which preserves the original, Creative Upscale uses generative models to add new detail, texture, and visual complexity to your image. Choose the model that best fits how much transformation you want — from natural realism to bold creative output. Face detail is enhanced using the Detailer model for sharper, more lifelike results.

 — Bloom Realism, Bloom Precision, Bloom Creative, or Bloom Redefine

 — Toggle on to enhance facial detail and realism

Use Denoise Auto when you want a hands-off approach to noise reduction. The workflow automatically analyzes the noise levels in your image — including subject noise, background noise, and overall noise — and applies the appropriate level of correction to each area separately. No manual strength adjustment needed.

Use Background Remover to cleanly isolate your subject from its background. Simply upload your image and Express will automatically detect and remove the background, leaving you with a clean cutout ready for compositing, design, or further editing.

Use Colorizer to automatically add natural, realistic color to black and white or faded images. Adjust the strength to control how bold or subtle the colorization appears.

Image Workflows

Topaz Image Web image models are organized by family based on their primary function. Each family is designed to solve a different type of image enhancement challenge.

Precision upscaling models designed to enlarge images while preserving original source characteristics, detail, and structure.

The recommended starting point for most upscaling projects. Delivers clean, reliable enlargement across a wide range of image types while maintaining true-to-input detail and structure. Ideal for photos, graphics, and print.

High-Fidelity Upscaling for Professional Photos

Precision upscaling designed for images that are already high resolution and well captured. Focuses on enlarging images while preserving fine detail, natural texture, and structural accuracy. Best used when the source image quality is strong and the goal is clean, accurate enlargement.

Improved Fidelity Upscaling with Advanced Recovery

An improvement on Upscale High Fidelity with enhanced resolution scaling and minimal detail loss or artifacting. Reduces plasticky appearance and excess artifacts while maintaining a clean, natural output. Performs best on medium to high quality images including modern photos, RAW images, and smartphone photography.

Recovery-Focused Upscaling for Low Quality Sources

Optimized for images that start with limited detail, heavy compression, or small dimensions. Focuses on intelligent reconstruction to recover usable detail from challenging sources without modifying the source characteristics.

Precision Upscaling for Artwork and Computer Graphics

Tailored for non-photographic imagery such as illustrations, digital art, renders, and stylized graphics. Preserves clean edges, flat color regions, and intentional line work without introducing photographic texture.

Generative Upscaling for Low Quality Images

A generative upscaling model designed to repair and improve small to medium sized low-resolution images. Intelligently reconstructs missing detail while prioritizing realism and avoiding unnecessary changes to objects, textures, or overall image structure.

Natural Detail Enhancement for Faces, Fur, and Fabric

Enhances images with natural and realistic detail, particularly effective on faces, fur, and fabric. Offers adjustable enhancement strength for control over how much detail is added.

Allows targeted enhancement of specific regions within an image using a mask. Only masked regions receive full enhancement while other areas receive lighter processing. Useful for workflows where selective control is needed.

Creative upscaling models designed for GenAI images and artwork, adding new detail, texture, and visual elements beyond traditional enhancement.

Creative Upscaling for AI-Generated Images

A generative upscaling model built for native GenAI images. Enlarges AI-generated artwork, illustrations, and CG renders by up to 6× while creatively introducing new detail, texture, and visual elements. Supports optional prompt input and adjustable creativity levels ranging from subtle to bold.

Realistic Detail Enhancement for AI-Generated Images

Removes the plastic, artificial feel of AI-generated images by restoring natural detail and texture across skin, hair, fabrics, metals, and other materials. Upscales native GenAI images by up to 6× while producing more grounded, believable results.

A precision-focused variant within the Bloom family. Delivers high quality upscaling with optional face enhancement and color correction controls. Supports scale factors up to 6×.

Generative Diffusion Upscaling with Prompt-Based Control

A generative image enhancement model that adds new detail and rebuilds structure when original image information is missing or degraded. The only local, prompt-driven generative image model available. Supports image prompts, creativity controls, and region-preserving masks for targeted enhancement. Especially valuable for CGI, VFX, and creative workflows.

Advanced Generative Realism for All Image Types

A generative upscaling model delivering higher quality results with more natural detail and improved realism across a wide range of image types. Handles both high-quality inputs and heavily degraded or compressed images. Supports Low, Medium, and High enhancement levels for greater control. Performs well on portraits, landscapes, wildlife, and complex textures such as fabrics, metallics, and skin.

Specialized sharpening models designed to reduce blur and improve clarity across different types of blur and source conditions.

An all-purpose sharpening model designed for images with mild lens softness or slight motion blur. Recommended starting point for most photography sharpening workflows. Produces clear images with crisp detail without darkening or brightening pixel edges.

Applies maximum reconstruction strength for severely blurred or out-of-focus images where standard sharpening is insufficient. Best used selectively to avoid artifacts.

Automatically selects the best sharpening approach for the image using intelligent model selection. Best used when you want a fast, one-click result without manually choosing a sharpening model.

Designed to correct optical defocus and lens-related blur. Targets defocus and lens imperfections rather than motion blur. Delivers consistent sharpening across heavily blurred regions.

Optimized to correct directional streaking and smearing caused by camera shake or subject movement during exposure. Best suited for action or handheld captures.

Trained to enhance fine detail in images of people, prioritizing natural skin texture and facial structure. Avoids harsh edges and unnatural texture. Best suited for portraits and close-up human subjects.

Trained to enhance fine detail in wildlife and nature images while preserving organic textures. Optimized for feathers, fur, scales, and natural patterns. Designed for high-resolution nature photography.

Specialized noise reduction models for reducing noise and grain while preserving detail.

Designed for everyday images with low to medium noise caused by low-light conditions or compression. Preserves fine detail and natural texture. Recommended starting point for most denoising workflows.

Image Models

My Files is your central library for every image and video you've uploaded to the Topaz Labs web app, along with every enhanced render produced from them.

 button at the top right of the page to open your system file picker. You can select a single file, or hold 

 on Mac) to pick several at once. A progress toast will appear while your files upload.

Also any files that were uploaded for processing automatically get stored in the My Files Page.

Files are added to the grid as soon as they finish uploading, before the server has fully indexed them. If a file doesn't appear after a few seconds, refresh the page. If you see an "Upload failed" toast, check that the file is in a supported format, then try again. Very large files can sometimes fail due to transient network errors — if the problem persists, contact Topaz Labs Support with the file name, file size, and the time of the error.

Will my original file be replaced when I run a tool on it?

No. Every render is stored alongside your original source file. The stacked-paper icon on a tile tells you how many renders exist for that file, and the 

) panel inside the preview modal lets you switch between all available versions.

How do I compare my original and enhanced versions?

. For images, you'll see a split-screen comparison slider you can drag to wipe between the original and a selected render. For videos, a comparison player lets you play, pause, and seek both versions. Select any entry in the side panel to switch which render is shown.

How do I re-process a file with a different tool?

Open the file's preview modal, then navigate to the tool of your choice — your file will be available as a recent input. Your original is always preserved, and new renders are added alongside existing ones.

. This saves the most recent successful render to your computer. If the file hasn't been processed yet, the original is downloaded instead.

To download multiple files at once, select them using 

 icon in the bulk actions bar that appears at the bottom of the screen.

. The file's title becomes an editable text field — type a new name and press 

 to cancel. Note that the file extension is preserved automatically; you're only editing the name before it.

File names cannot be empty, cannot contain \ / : * ? " < > |, cannot start or end with a dot or space, and must be 255 characters or fewer in total.

. A confirmation dialog will appear, since deleting a file removes both the source and every render produced from it — this cannot be undone.

To delete multiple files at once, select them and click the 

There are two filters at the top of My Files — a 

 dropdown. Both work together: the grid only shows files that match every active filter. Filter selections are saved in the URL, so you can bookmark or share a filtered view.

Why are some tools missing from the Tool dropdown?

A tool only appears in the dropdown if you have at least one file processed by that tool under the current media tab. If you're on the 

Why did the Timeframe dropdown skip a month?

The Timeframe dropdown is built dynamically from your own activity — it only lists time periods that actually contain files. Months or years with no activity are simply omitted.

Why does the Timeframe filter show a file in a different day than I expected?

Timeframe bucket boundaries use UTC calendar days. A file edited late at night may appear in the next day's bucket depending on your local timezone.

The page is empty even though I have files.

Check whether a filter is restricting your view. The Tool and Timeframe dropdowns each have an 

 option at the top to clear them. Also confirm that the correct media type tab (All files, Images, or Videos) is active.

I can't find a file I uploaded weeks ago.

Check the Timeframe dropdown — your file may be under 

 or an earlier month. Clearing the filter back to 

 will show all files regardless of when they were last worked on.

Make sure the new name doesn't contain any of these characters: \ / : * ? " < > |, isn't empty, doesn't start or end with a dot or space, and is fewer than 255 characters total. An inline error message below the field will tell you which rule was violated.

Deletions are immediate on the server, but another open browser tab may still be showing the old cached view. Refresh any other tabs — the file won't actually be restored.

 with as much detail as possible, including screenshots, file names, and the exact time the issue occurred.

My Files

1. Do I need a Topaz account to use cloud apps?

Yes — you’ll need to create a Topaz account to use Topaz Web.

2. Do I need to keep my browser open while rendering?

No — renders will continue processing even if you close your browser.

3. Will I be notified when my render finishes?

Not currently. You can check progress and completed renders in the app.

4. Why did my render fail or produce incorrect results?

This can happen for a variety of reasons (image type, model limitations, or temporary issues).

Try refreshing the page and running the render again. If the issue persists, please contact support.

6. Can I use the same account on multiple devices?

Yes — your account can be used across multiple devices.

7. Why did my files disappear after refreshing the page?

All completed renders should appear in the 

If something is missing, try refreshing again or checking that the render completed successfully.

8. Where can I download my rendered images?

Yes — you can cancel a render while it is processing.

Files are stored as long as your subscription is active.

If your subscription ends, you’ll have 

WEBP, TIF, and HEIC files are converted and exported as 

13. Why is the maximum upscale limited instead of 8×?

Some models have resolution (MP) limits. If 8× exceeds those limits, you’ll need to use a lower scale.

14. Why are only faces being enhanced instead of the entire image?

Some workflows or models prioritize face recovery. If you want full-image enhancement, select a different workflow or model.

15. Why does “Download All” only download one image?

This is usually a browser permission issue.

Make sure your browser allows multiple file downloads (especially in Chrome settings). If problem still persists, contact support.

Workflows are task-based presets designed around a specific enhancement goal. Some workflows are single model based — like Creative Upscale, where you simply choose which Bloom model to use. Others automatically combine multiple models and steps behind the scenes to get the best result. Select the workflow that matches what you want to achieve and Topaz Image Web handles the rest.
