About Topaz Video AI

AICentral Editorial ReviewVerified Test
Evaluated by Hamza Khaliq · Updated for 2026
Test Verdict
4.8 / 5.0

Topaz Video AI, now presented by Topaz Labs as Topaz Video, is desktop software that uses AI models to upscale, denoise, sharpen, stabilize and restore footage. It can raise old SD or low-quality clips to HD or 4K, interpolate frames for smooth slow motion, and convert SDR to HDR.

The app offers more than 20 enhancement models, including Proteus, Iris, Artemis, Gaia, Chronos and the Starlight family for difficult faces and degraded footage. It runs as a standalone app or plugin on Windows and Mac, with local rendering and optional cloud credits for the heaviest models.

It is used by video editors, archivists, photographers turning stills into motion and creators who need to clean up AI-generated or old footage. Quality is high but rendering is hardware-intensive.

Pricing

Topaz sells Video as a subscription. The official page lists Topaz Video at $59 per month with unlimited local rendering and 25 monthly cloud credits, and no perpetual license is shown.

Higher bundles include Topaz Studio at $69 per month or $399 per year with all Topaz apps and 300 cloud credits, and Studio Pro at $75 per month billed over 12 months with 600 credits. A browser-based Topaz for Web Video plan is listed from $29 (promo $19) per month or $299 (promo $199) per year.

There is no permanent free plan; Topaz has historically offered a trial with watermarked exports. Older Video AI versions were sold as one-year licenses, so confirm current terms.
