Incredibly slow, poor results
One of the worst apps I’ve downloaded in a long time.
I’ve been using topaz photo for years on my MacBook and have been very satisfied. On my iPhone 17promax the processing of images takes 3-5 minutes. And the result not particularly good.

I love upscaling with Topaz
The quality it’s unreal
No trial period? Really?
Guys, before I’m paying it should be good to know what for? Even if it would be only one pic to try or one week or one day. Just see the quality of algorithms
Exceptional
I got Topaz about two years ago, when it was a separate suite. I had thought about switching over to Magnific, because it was the only upscaler of its kind, especially useful for generative media.
However, once they consolidated into a suite, it’s like the team went into slipstream mode, no doubt aided by AI.
The upscaler is so much better, and I recently tested the ones for video, and not only was I able to execute it locally (and privately), but the quality was far beyond what I expected.
Not only was the 1080p better, but the upscaler to 4K did a KNOCKOUT job of mimicking and retaining detail that had been lost in the film to HD Cam transfer.
I then ran it through Hyperion HDR, and the quality was truly remarkable.
The baked-in plugins for Adobe, Da Vinci Resolve, etc., are also a plus for editors of video, compositors, and imagery.
When you get the desktop suite, you thankfully get the mobile application across your account, instead of getting ripped off (we’ll see, after Adobe finishes buying them…).
For now, it’s definitely one of the best options in the market, for professionals and tinkerers alike.

Great Capabilities.
When I bought this subscription, I could upscale up to 8X. But within a few months I was reduced to 6x, then in another few weeks, 4x only and that’s where I’m at now. It’s a great program, with tons of capabilities. I would have preferred to NOT have been downgraded twice within a just 4 months.
Can’t be run offline anymore
They have made improvements in image quality. but they have taken away the ability to use offline.
They have also changed what the subscription was in the middle of the contract. Like no longer being able to upscale past 32mp unless “upgrading” to a different subscription.
Look for free alternatives. Everything Topaz has done since being bought by adobe has been incredibly sleazy. Breaching their own terms on their contact, makes for an easy chargeback.

Don’t trust it.
Changes faces into monsters no matter what I tried
Nur noch mit Abo benutzbar!
Früher konnte man noch 10 Bilder pro Monat kostenlos optimieren. Das war anscheinend nur ein Lockangebot, denn jetzt funktioniert die App nur noch wenn man Abo-Gebühren bezahlt…

Great at first then turned to slop like every other app
This app worked for the first two weeks to upscale images. I paid for the annual subscription at $109. I didn’t have an issue as long as I was I getting great results. Then one day I go to upscale my images and it says I need to upgrade to a high package. The image I tried to scale exceeded the 32 mp plan limit apparently. I emailed support thinking it had to do with running out of some sort of monthly credits for upscales. No you can have unlimited upscales so long as they do not exceed 32mp. I find this strange because every image i uploaded at first worked fine scaled all the way to 8x. All of sudden every image exceeds 32mp, and I can’t upscale more than 2x. It seems as thought this happened overnight and the only real solution is upgrade to the Pro plan for $300+. I’m not a professional, I don’t need all that. I will be cancelling and deleting this app since it no longer works like it should. Disappointing because this was the best app I found for upscaling that wasn’t outrageously priced for an annul subscription.

BEWARE!
I found this app to be anything but what it claims to be … no better, in fact somewhat worse, than freebies otherwise tried out. After ten minutes it was obvious so I cancelled and requested a refund which was denied because my reason for doing so did not qualify for a refund. IMO not reputable.
The Best App for Wildlife
This app is the best app I’ve ever used for photos- specifically for wildlife photos. The photos look so natural and the app is easy to use. It really enhances the print quality. I love the Upscale and Unblur features. Workflows are very easy and the updates make the app even easier to use. I’ve used for non- wildlife photos as well and it works great. Well done!

App for paying
Waste of My Time and Money
Awful. Slow is an understatement, and then I get an error when it finally finishes and I try to save. There was no free trial and $18 for a month . . such a waste of my time and money.
Wow
It freezes everything out. It uploads it appears like it’s fixing the picture, but I can’t do anything with the picture. I can’t download it. I can’t go back in the app it freezes. You fixed it so good it doesn’t work.
Disappointed
Long time Topaz user, the pc/Mac products are amazing but after signing up for a month I found this had very minimal effects on recovering focus. The autopilot mode took 10mins, there were no noticeable differences on the before/after previews. Subscription reluctantly cancelled.
Crashes ALL the time since update
Since update from Gigapixel AI this app crashes every time it is in the middle of updating a photo. Not only that but I got double charged last month for $6.99 and $49.99. I hate the new interface and the options don’t make sense.
Stick to ChatGPT
I used iPhone and it was Absolutely horrendous quality! I used generative restore on the standard setting on a blurry picture of a woman and not only did it take forever, but the result was disgusting. It was so bad! Like so many levels bad. It was as if it was 2022 and ai was barely coming out.
I used a blurry image of a woman and besides the cheap quality it BUTCHERED her face!!!! Her face and skin look like anime all airbrushed and cheap quality and unrealistic and her teeth don’t even look like teeth they look like red artifacts resembling shark fangs or ugly braces and even her pliltrum has red artifacts as if her upper lip was torn. Got her looking like a horror game character from 2002.
Looking at her mouth pisses me off still.
ChatGPT used to do that years ago sometimes but not anymore.
It’s 2026. I’m getting a refund asap deleting this trash. Even if it was free. It would still be trash.

Nur mit Abo möglich?!
Für alles soll man heutzutage Abos abschließen. Ich will die App aber eigentlich nur für 10-30 € kaufen um ein paar alte Fotos auf dem Handy hoch zu skalieren. Alles andere wäre doch viel zu teuer. Und dann versuchen Sie, einem direkt das Jahresabo anzudrehen. Schrecklich!
Absolutely useless
Don’t waste your money
😡
The app just doesn’t work. Again. For the umpteenth time.
Photos won’t load. Buttons do absolutely nothing when tapped.
I’m paying you money. If you’re happy just taking it and doing nothing in return — you’re heading straight downhill. 😡
