Topaz Video AI is a desktop app that uses neural networks to improve video quality, from upscaling and stabilization to noise reduction.
What you can do with Topaz Video AI
The software processes footage frame by frame to reduce defects and recover detail. Common workflows include:
- Upscale video up to 16K while improving sharpness and perceived detail
- Stabilize shaky footage for smoother motion
- Remove noise and compression artifacts
- Increase frame rate with interpolation for smoother playback or slow motion
- Convert SDR to HDR to expand dynamic range and improve contrast/brightness

A typical setup looks like this:
- Download the installer from the official Topaz Labs website and install the app
