Supported Cameras & Files

Topaz Photo supports a wide variety of RAW and non-RAW image formats.

General limits

Maximum image size: 32,000 pixels on the longest side. Images this large require a machine with recommended specifications.
8-bit and 16-bit images are supported. 32-bit images are not supported.
RGB Color profile is supported, CMYK is not supported.

RAW Camera Support

Topaz Photo supports RAW files from dedicated digital cameras (DSLR, mirrorless, medium format, etc.)** that are included in the LibRaw 202403 snapshot list, along with additional camera models supported directly by Topaz.

If your digital camera's native RAW format is not yet supported, you can still edit your images by converting them to the universal .DNG format (see steps below)

** Mobile Phone DNG files or Drone DNG files are not dedicated digital cameras and are not currently supported. Convert the file to TIFF, JPEG, or PNG before importing.

Unsupported RAW camera?

If your camera's native RAW format is not yet supported, you can still edit your images by converting them to the universal .DNG format. The .DNG format preserves your RAW image data and will work in Topaz Photo.

If using Lightroom Classic

Import the file using the Copy as DNG option.
Then use the File > PLug in Extras Plugin path to send the DNG to Topaz Photo.

Without Lightroom Classic

Convert your RAW files using the free Adobe DNG Converter. The converter can convert a batch of files very quickly.
Once the file is in .DNG format, you can import it in Topaz Photo for editing.

Note on Support Timelines: Native camera support is added alongside bug fixes and other improvements. Since the .DNG format provides a fully supported RAW workflow, native camera support is prioritized behind issues with greater impact or no available workaround. We do not provide timelines for future camera support until updates are ready.

Other RAW Workarounds

If needed, you can also:

Convert the RAW file to TIFF or JPEG before importing.
Use Topaz Photo as a plugin from a supported editor such as Photoshop or Affinity Photo, which will convert the file to a non-RAW format.

However, we recommend using the .DNG workflow whenever possible, as it preserves your RAW image data and allows you to take full advantage of RAW editing in Topaz Photo.

Supported Non-RAW File Types

Topaz Photo supports these non-RAW file formats:

HEIC
JPG / JPEG
PNG
TIF / TIFF
WEBP
