Minimum Requirements

Operating SystemWindows 10 or 11
CPUIntel OR AMD Processor (1), with AVX instructions, released after 2016
System Memory (RAM)16GB (2)
Dedicated Graphics CardNVIDIA graphic card - 6GB VRAM (3)
AMD graphic card - 6GB VRAM (3)
Intel ARC graphic card - 6GB VRAM (3)
Integrated Graphics CardIntel UHD 600 Graphics (4)
Intel Iris Xe (4)
Disk Space on C:/37GB of space (5)

(1) Snapdragon Processors are not currently supported. Only Intel and AMD CPUs are supported.

(2) For large upscales, 24GB of RAM (system memory) or more may be needed, especially if you do not have a dedicated graphics card.

(3) Super Focus and Dust & Scratch are memory-intensive generative models that require 8GB of VRAM to run. They may work with 6GB of VRAM, but will be slow and it is recommended that you have 8GB of VRAM for them to work correctly. To learn more, go to the Super Focus System Requirements and the Dust & Scratch requirements.

(4) If you only have an Integrated graphics card and no Dedicated graphics card, Photo AI will work if you meet the RAM requirement of 16Gb of RAM. However, the lack of VRAM will make processing slow (especially large upscales), and the computer will not work with memory-intensive Generative AI models like Super Focus or Dust and Scratch.

(5) Photo AI will take 30GB of space in Program Data folder, 2GB in Program Files, and will need an extra 5GB of free available space for temp files. We recommend keeping the default install location on the C: drive to avoid plugin conflicts and issues. If Photo AI is installed on another drive than C: - it still requires at least 5GB of free extra space on C: to function properly. If there is less than 5GB of space on C:, an in-app warning will appear prompting you to free up space.

Operating SystemWindows 11 - most updated version
CPUIntel OR AMD Processor, with AVX instructions, released after 2020
System Memory 24GB RAM
Dedicated Graphics Card NVIDIA RTX series - 8GB VRAM or more
AMD 5000 series - 8GB VRAM or more
Intel ARC - 8GB VRAM or more
Disk Space on C:/37GB+ of space (1)
