Upscale & Resize

Upscaling/Resizing intelligently generates new pixels to increase image size and improve image quality. AI models improves image quality to clean up imperfections due to minor noise and reduces blurry edges to increase detail.

Images can be scaled from a minimum 0.2x to maximum 6x or 32,000 pixels on the longest edge. Scale by 1x to improve image quality without resizing the image.

Resizing & Resolution

Turning on Resizing will automatically upscale to 2x when enabled.

The Resize menu displays the following information:

scale options, with shortcuts for upscaling 2x, 4x, 6x (Max)
width and height dimensions
units for dimensions and a resolution section when Inches (In) or Centimeters (Cm) is selected
estimated output file size

You can manually input the output scale and or width/height dimensions. Click on the PX unit for a dropdown with In or Cm. Select In or Cm to display resolution and enter the output file resolution.

For printing, the most common resolution used is 300 pixels per inch (PPI).

Scale an image by 1x to maintain image size and increase image quality by to clean up imperfections due to minor noise and reduces blurry edges to increase detail.

Images can be downscaled (smaller than the original size) to decrease the image size while maintaining the highest quality possible.

Topaz Photo AI will upscale your image width and height up to 6x in one pass. The maximum image size it can output is 32,000 pixels on the longest edge. The largest image that it can output is 32,000 x 32,000 pixels (1024 megapixels).

To upscale an image more than 6x, you can process the image in Topaz Photo AI a second time.
