Cloud Rendering

Cloud Rendering is the newest application programming interface that Gigapixel features within the app. This feature is intended for users who want to use Gigapixel’s more powerful generative models such as Recover and Redefine but are limited by their computer hardware’s limitations.

Use Cloud Rendering when….

• your computer hardware has limitations for processing Generative AI Models locally on your computer
• our go-to AI upscale models are not producing better results
• images need to be enhanced in a timely fashion
• your workflow cannot be disrupted while waiting for an enhancement to be processed

How to use Cloud Rendering

Check out this tutorial.

1. Select your image and make enhancements
2. Go to “Generative models” and click on Recovery or Redefine
3. Follow the prompts to use each model to preview results
4. If preview results are desirable, find the Right Side Panel and click on the Cloud render button. Please make note of the credits used to process.
5. Your image is sent to the Queue to run in the background while you work
6. Once the render is complete, the image is downloaded to a Local Folder.

Credits

• Credits are the currency used to access Cloud Rendering
• To purchase credits, you can go online to your Topaz Labs account
• Each credit allows you to process a single image up to 24 megapixels output size (e.g. 4000px by 6000px). Generally, JPGs use the least amount of credits whereas TIFFs use much more
• You can maintain a maximum balance of 5x your monthly credit volume. All unused credits roll over each month and never expire. For example, a subscriber on the 1.5k plan can keep a maximum balance of 7,500 credits, as long as they have an active plan.
• If you run out of credits, to avoid service interruption we will automatically reload credits equal to 25% of your plan at the current per-credit price. For example, a subscriber on the 1.5k plan will be auto-reloaded 375 credits and charged $49.75 after running out of credits.

FAQs

Where can I see how many credits I have? There are two ways to find your credit count:

• Go to Gigapixel, in the far right corner look for your account profile photo. Your credits will be shown alongside your user icon.
• Go to your Topaz Labs Account

Can you buy credits if you just use Trial mode? No. You’ll need to purchase a Gigapixel license to access the Cloud Rendering and then purchase credits to use.

Can I get a refund if I accidentally used credits? No. Please reach out to support@topazlabs.com for more help and information.
