Use Upscale to increase the number of pixels in your image.

There are two methods to resize your image:

 will upscale your image by a multiplier of up to 6x

will upscale your image by using a custom width or height

32,000px on the longest side is the maximum dimension for upscaling, with the largest image possible being 32,000×32,000 (~1 GP).

If you need a different ratio than the original, apply a Crop to the image first

In the "Scale factor" field, type in your multiplier

The dimensions of your image automatically adjust after you set the scale. Custom scales can be specified by up to 2 decimal points.

The default Pixel density is 300. This can be set in your preferences. 

 scale to enhance your image without upscaling.

Custom scale factors below 1x (0.9-0.2x) can be used to downscale images to prepare for web or to help eliminate false resolution. 

From the menus go to your preferences and select "Upscale and resize" under 

You also have the option to define a default pixel density. 

Image batches can be scaled by the longest side. 

To enable longest side, select which images you want to upscale by clicking the check boxes in the file list. 

When multiple images are selected, the Dimensions show 

 indicating that there are multiple values across all images. 

The longest side option does not appear when only one image is selected.

AI Models are the enhancements Topaz Labs has created to determine how to adjust your images, graphics, scans, or artwork.

Choose Auto mode or manually select a model from the panel.

Utilize Face Recovery to improve images where facial attributes could be enhanced. Low resolution, blurry, and unclear details of human faces are best used for this feature.

 detects and recovers human faces. It works best on blurry, low-resolution, or poor-quality faces, but may remove detail from high-quality faces.

 - detects high and low confidence faces to enhance.

After importing an image, analysis scans the entire image, searching for the eyes, nose, and mouth of a human face.

It determines the number of faces recognized and categorizes them into two types: 

: AI analysis distinguishes clear details of the eyes, nose, and mouth, recognizing a face.

 faces that lack detail, are out of focus, or partial faces where the head is turned away.

Face Recovery models do not use generative Al or diffusion models. It is trained from digital images from digital cameras. Certain types of images, such as old scanned photographs, are not always easily recognized.

Face Recovery is disabled for Redefine Creativity values 3-6 in order to maintain the best creative results from the model

In the Preview, the image shows boxes around faces that the AI has detected. Click on the desired boxes that need enhancement.

A dark gray box indicates a High Confidence result.
A light gray box indicates a Low Confidence result.

Click on any boxes you wish to enhance, and the selected faces will appear blue.

After the AI model finishes enhancing, use

This AI model now adds another layer of enhancement possibilities that Gen. 1 did not offer. 

Our models are designed to preserve the original image, but since Face Recovery is specifically designed to reconstruct damaged faces, the model will sometimes change expressions slightly or may smooth skin, hair, or small facial details.

This version not only improves upon Gen. 1, but also offers two modes: 

 mode closely mirrors the original Face Recovery model, but with improved overall quality. For scenarios with very low resolution or tiny faces, 

 mode generates additional details that might be missing from the original image, producing high-quality results even from very low-resolution inputs. It’s incredible what can be achieved with just a few pixels. Note that the Creative mode does not use a diffusion-based generative model, so if you prefer traditional machine-learning models, Gen. 1 Face Recovery is still a great option.

The example below showcases the difference between Gen. 1 & Gen. 2, Realistic & Creative. Notice that certain facial features are altered differently in Creative mode. 

We recommend lowering the face recovery strength to match the original image if the results appear too dramatic

 processes the image in a higher gamma color space. For images with highly saturated colors, this can enhance AI outputs with more details and less color bleed.

Gamma Correction is also best used for very dark, low light images with lots of noise.
