Frequently Asked Questions
What is Topaz Gigapixel for macOS? ▾
Topaz Gigapixel is the industry-leading AI image upscaling software for Mac by Topaz Labs — the first commercially available AI image upscaler, available since 2019. It uses 9 specialized AI models trained on millions of images to upscale photos up to 6x while adding accurate, natural detail — not just interpolated pixels. Available as a standalone Mac app and as a plugin for Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. Offers unlimited local rendering (files stay on your Mac) and unlimited cloud rendering on monthly plans. Trusted by Nike, Google, Netflix, Coca-Cola, NVIDIA, Tesla, and millions of photographers, artists, and designers worldwide. Compatible with macOS 12 Monterey or later with native Apple Silicon support.
What is the difference between local and cloud rendering? ▾
Local rendering processes your images entirely on your Mac using your CPU, GPU, and Apple Neural Engine — your files never leave your computer, making it ideal for confidential or proprietary material. Cloud rendering offloads the processing to Topaz Labs’ servers — delivering the fastest processing times with the latest AI models, and taking the load off your Mac’s hardware. Both local and cloud rendering are unlimited with monthly subscription plans on macOS. Cloud rendering requires an internet connection and a Topaz Labs account.
Which AI model should I use in Topaz Gigapixel on Mac? ▾
The best model depends on your image type. Use Standard for most general photos. Use High Fidelity when you need maximum accuracy to the original. Use Low Resolution for small, compressed, or heavily degraded images. Use CGI for 3D renders and game screenshots. Use Lines for illustrations, diagrams, and logos. Use Art & CG for fine art and digital paintings. Use Recover Faces specifically for photos where faces are small, blurry, or in the background. Use Redefine when you want creative enhancement beyond the original. Use the new Precision model for AI-generated images, live action footage, and animation content on macOS.
