Photo AI is available as a desktop application on both Mac and Windows computers. There is no mobile version.

Export

Use Topaz Photo AI as a standalone product to control the file name, file format, and export location.

Note: These save options are unavailable when using Topaz Photo AI as a plugin for another application, such as Photoshop or Lightroom Classic. The image is saved back to the host editor.

Queue

The queue provides a visual representation of processed and pending files for saving. Preview the file name, size, and format.

Export Settings

Click the Save Image button once you are satisfied with the edits. Use the export settings to customize the file name, file format, and export location of the final output based on your preferences or intended use of the images.
