 A single AI model that does one specific job, e.g. Starlight Precise 2.6 for video upscaling and Wonder 3 for creative image upscaling

 A task-based preset that combines the right models and settings for a specific goal. Pick one and Topaz handles the rest. Some workflows are built on a single model.

 Every time you process one or more files together it becomes a batch, kept in Recents and viewable in My Files.

 Feed the results of one batch into a new workflow, to chain enhancements together.

 Where everything you upload and everything you generate lives, images and video together.

 The currency for cloud processing. One balance, shared across web and the desktop apps.

Quick Start

 at the top of the New page to reach the Image Enhance screen.

Your most recent workflows appear as buttons across the top. Click 

 to open the full list, where you can search by name and see a short description of what each one does.

 opens your existing library, where you can:

Sort by date added, newest or oldest first

Select multiple images at once, then click 

Images you've already enhanced show small icons indicating which settings were used, with the workflow name listed under the filename.

Once your images are attached, the workflow's settings appear beneath them. What you see depends on the workflow. Common controls include scale, creativity level, color preservation, and face recovery. Fully automatic workflows have no settings at all.

When you're ready, click the arrow button or press 

You're taken to the batch page, which shows your file count, the workflow and settings used, and a live progress percentage.

Your images appear in a filmstrip on the right. Click any one to view it. Results become available as they finish, so you can start reviewing before the whole batch is done. The counter at the bottom tracks how many are done, for example 

Your browser needs to stay open while files upload. Once processing starts, you're free to close the tab or start another batch.

Three view modes sit at the bottom of the batch page:

 Just the result. Click and hold to peek at the source image, then release to return to the enhanced version.

 Drag a divider across the image to reveal before and after.

Along the top of the page, the workflow and every setting used are shown as labels. Hover any one to see what it controls. The file panel on the left shows input and output dimensions for the selected image.

Use the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons to tell us how a result turned out.

Image

Topaz for Web includes three main video capabilities (each described below). Use them on their own, or combine them in a single render.

 Improves the quality of your video and increases its resolution, for example from 720p to 4K. Recovers detail, cleans up compression artifacts, and reduces noise along the way.

 Changes the frame rate by generating new frames between your existing ones, either for smoother motion or for slow motion.

 Converts 8-bit SDR footage to true HDR in 10-bit and 16-bit professional delivery formats like ProRes, EXR, and H.265.

You can work with a single video or a batch. Upload several files and they queue up, rendering one after another.

There's no fixed limit on how long a video can be, so for example, you can render 2 hours video.

Topaz for Web currently accepts MP4 files, and we're working to expand the range of video formats we support.

 A recognizable face, text, a logo, a product, a close-up. Use 

. This is the right answer most of the time.

Yes, and there is little detail left to recover.

 Wide shots, landscapes, crowds, stylized or animated work, heavily degraded footage. Use 

, which re-imagine details rather than only recovering what is there.

I just need more resolution, quickly at low cost.

If your footage has text, labels, or logos in it, choose Precise whatever else is true. Text is where Creative models still struggle.

The rest of this section explains the two modes and the models inside them.

There are two ways to enhance and upscale in Topaz for Web: 

. Both improve quality and raise resolution. The difference is how much freedom the model has to change what is in your footage.

 model keep the integrity of your source. It recovers detail that is already there: sharper facial detail and skin texture, cleaner hair, more convincing fabrics and materials, and clearer text, labels, and logos. Because it stays faithful to the input, Precise is the right choice whenever identity matters, such as a recognizable face, a logo, a product, or text on screen, and for restoration work where the result should be the same footage, only sharper and larger.

 models reimagine detail instead of only recovering it. It adds new texture and structure that the source never had, which is what you want on AI-generated, stylized, or heavily degraded footage that no longer holds enough information for a Precise model to work with. The trade-off is fidelity: at higher creativity, faces and fine text can shift.

Once you have picked a mode, choose a model and an output resolution.

Our highest-quality Precise model, and the one to reach for first. It upscales up to 4K and renders faces, skin texture, hair, fabrics, and materials convincingly, with real clarity on text, labels, and logos. Best on footage that already has strong composition but looks soft, plastic, or slightly artificial, and on archival material that still holds enough detail to recover.

 control with five levels sets how aggressively the model renders detail. Level 5 is full strength. Lower levels ease off, which helps on tightly packed detail under strong light (skin texture, hair, fabric, fur) where full strength can read as artificial.

Credit usage: 5 credits for 1080p output, 20 credits for 4K output (based on a 10-second clip at 30 FPS).

The versatile, general-purpose option, for upscaling, denoising, and sharpening low to medium quality sources. It performs especially well on old, grainy, or heavily compressed video, works on both progressive and interlaced footage, and gives you adjustable parameters for fine-tuning: compression recovery, detail enhancement, sharpening, noise reduction, de-halo, and anti-aliasing or de-blur.

Built for speed, producing realistic output and sharp detail in a fraction of the render time. Use it for high-volume work and fast turnarounds where visual fidelity still matters.

Creative diffusion upscaling that adds new detail and texture rather than only recovering what is already there, guided by adjustable 

 controls (both 1 to 5) and an optional text prompt. It performs best on wide shots and large-scale scenes, on stylized and animated work, and on AI-generated footage you want transformed rather than preserved. It also handles live-action restoration well, staying close to the original capture while recovering detail, sharpness, and color accuracy.

At higher creativity, faces and expressions can shift and fine text can break down. For face-focused or text-heavy shots, lower the creativity or use a Precise model instead.

Frame interpolation generates new frames between your existing ones using 

, either to raise the frame rate or to slow the footage down.

Makes motion smoother by raising the frame rate. AI-generated video often arrives at 24 FPS, which can look choppy on a modern display. You can take a clip to 30, 60, 90, or 120 FPS.

Slows the footage down without the stutter you get from simply stretching existing frames. Apollo generates the in-between frames, so a normal-speed clip becomes smooth slow motion.

Choose from 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, or 16x.

 converts 8-bit SDR footage to true HDR and delivers it in professional formats: ProRes 10-bit, EXR 16-bit, or H.265 10-bit. It is a generative diffusion model, so it creates new shadow, highlight, and color detail rather than stretching what is already there, redistributing luminance and color across highlights, mid-tones, and shadows. Results are sharpest where SDR sources usually struggle: text, small faces, and fast motion. Hyperion works in 16-bit end to end and converts to the PQ colour space.

 Hyperion 2.5 does not upscale, enhance, or change the frame rate, and nothing can be applied after it. Its output resolution matches whatever reaches it. If you want a higher resolution or a different frame rate, set those up under Enhance & Upscale and Frame Interpolation in the same render; Hyperion always runs at the end of the chain.

HDR works with Starlight and Astra models only.

 If you have Proteus selected under Enhance & Upscale, switch to a Starlight or Astra model before you enable HDR.

Credit usage: 10 credits for 1080p output, 40 credits for 4K output (based on a 10-second clip at 30 FPS).

Hyperion 2.5 provides you with the following output formats:

 (default): For editing and grading in a professional NLE. BT.2020 primaries. Does not play in the browser, so you get a preview on screen and download the real file.

: For VFX and compositing. Downloads as an image sequence in a zip. BT.2020, linear rather than PQ. Download only.

: For delivery and playback, using the Main10 profile. Plays in the browser.

Standard renders without HDR are delivered as MP4.

All of these can run in one job. A common combination: upload 720p 24 FPS SDR footage, enhance and upscale to 4K with Starlight Precise 2.6, interpolate to 30 FPS, and convert to HDR as ProRes 10-bit. The result is a 4K, 30 FPS, HDR ProRes file.

Each step costs credits, so a combined render costs the sum of the models used.

Topaz for Web has three subscription plans. Image rendering is unlimited on the Image and Pro plans; video rendering uses credits.

 gives you unlimited image rendering, exports up to 32 MP, and no video credits.

 gives you 200 video credits a month, around 16 renders, and no image rendering.

 gives you both: unlimited image rendering, exports up to 256 MP, and 400 video credits a month, around 32 renders.

Pro also runs 8 concurrent jobs where Image and Video run 2, and carries a commercial license for businesses at $1M revenue and above. All three plans can buy one-time credits.

Credits are how video rendering is paid for. Image rendering doesn't use credits. It's unlimited on the Image and Pro plans.

What a video render costs depends on the model, the output resolution, and the length of the clip. For a 10-second clip at 30 FPS:

You'll always see the credit cost before you hit Render.

 Your plan's credits refresh at the start of each billing cycle; anything unused that month doesn't roll forward.

Need more than your monthly credits? You can buy credits in packs. One-time credits 

, and the larger the pack, the lower the per-credit price.

One-time credits are a top-up on your monthly credits and require an active subscription.

Run out of credits mid-project? With auto top-up switched on, your renders keep going instead of stopping.

, not a credit amount. Nothing is ever charged beyond the limit you set.

, at the moment they're needed. A render needing 352 credits buys four blocks at once rather than issuing a stream of small charges.

discounted: 15% on the Video plan, 25% on Pro

, which makes them cheaper than buying one-time packs.

If you reach your monthly maximum, renders pause until you raise the limit or buy credits directly.

Switch auto top-up on or off, and change your maximum, at any time in your account settings.
