Topaz Image Upscale

Topaz offers both fidelity-oriented standard upscalers and generative models that rebuild missing detail. Choose by source type and acceptable change: Standard V2 is the general baseline, Low Resolution V2 handles compressed or small inputs, CGI and Text & Shapes protect graphic structure, while Bloom, Recover, Redefine, Standard Max, and Wonder can reconstruct more aggressively. Face and transparent-image variants solve narrower problems and should be used only when the source matches them.

How to use this model

  1. 1

    Classify the source first: photo, low-resolution image, CGI, text-heavy graphic, transparent asset, portrait, or severely degraded material.

  2. 2

    Start with a standard fidelity model when possible; choose a generative model only when missing detail must be reconstructed.

  3. 3

    Set output dimensions for the actual target and avoid unnecessary enlargement beyond the intended use.

  4. 4

    Use face recovery, subject detection, prompt, creativity, or texture only on models that expose those controls.

  5. 5

    Compare at 100% and check faces, text, edges, repeated texture, and whether generative detail changed the subject.

Recover 3Available

Recover 3

Recover 3 is a generative image recovery model designed to reconstruct missing detail in low-resolution, damaged, or out-of-focus images, with a particular strength in restoring realistic facial features and natural textures. Now in its third generation, Recover 3 delivers significantly improved detail reconstruction, texture fidelity, and realism compared to earlier versions. Recover 3 intelligently rebuilds hair, skin, fabric, foliage, and other organic detail where original image information is limited or lost. It is especially effective for old photographs, heavily compressed images, and small or blurry faces, producing results that feel photographic rather than artificial.

Properties

  • Supports Image Upscale workflows.

Best for

  • Reconstructs missing facial features and fine textures with improved realism and stability over earlier Recover models.
  • Prioritizes believable skin, hair, and material textures while avoiding over-sharpened or plastic artifacts.
  • Realistic and Creative recovery options to balance fidelity versus detail generation, depending on source quality.

Standard Max

Standard Max is a generative model that delivers high-quality, natural results while remaining efficient enough to run on a wide range of devices. It achieves detail and realism comparable to generative upscaling models, without the heavy hardware requirements or long processing times typically associated with them. Standard Max delivers strong results across all image types and resolutions, and is especially effective on low-resolution images where it restores photorealistic detail with clean textures and minimal artifacts. It also performs reliably on medium and high-quality sources, making it a versatile and dependable choice for everyday upscaling.

Wonder 2Available

Wonder 2

Wonder 2 is the second-generation Wonder model and the most advanced realism-focused image enhancement model in the family. It is designed to handle extremely challenging, low-resolution images and produces outputs that look clean, natural, and professional. Wonder 2 restores sharper, more natural detail across the image, resolving plasticky or airbrushed artifacts to produce clean, realistic results. It recovers skin texture, facial features, hair, fabric, and environmental detail while minimizing artifacts and avoiding unnecessary changes to the source during upscaling.

Properties

  • Supports Image Upscale workflows.

Best for

  • Enhancement for difficult or low-quality images
  • Restoring sharper, more natural detail with strong artifact prevention
  • Preserving text, logos, and fine details when source quality allows

Wonder 3Available

Wonder 3

Wonder 3 is an updated generative upscaling model designed to deliver significantly higher quality results with more natural detail and improved realism across a wide range of image types. It supports both high-quality inputs and heavily degraded or compressed images, with selectable Low, Medium, and High enhancement levels for greater control across varying input conditions. Wonder 3 performs across all resolution levels and is well suited for portraits, landscapes, wildlife, and complex textures such as fabrics, metallics, feathers, and skin. It also improves on Wonder 2 by resolving challenging edge cases and reducing the plasticky appearance and artifacts seen in earlier versions.

Properties

  • Supports Image Upscale workflows.

Best for

  • Natural detail and improved realism
  • Handling both high-quality inputs and heavily degraded images with consistent performance.
  • Preserving text, logos, and fine details when source quality allows

Recover FacesRetired

Recover Faces

Recover Faces is a specialized facial reconstruction model designed to restore recognizable facial detail from low-resolution, damaged, or heavily compressed images. When facial information is missing or unreadable, Recover Faces reconstructs plausible features rather than strictly preserving original pixels. This model is typically combined with another enhancement.Face Recovery includes both Realistic and Creative variants, allowing users to balance fidelity and recovery strength based on source quality. Because these models are reconstructive by design, results may include subtle changes to expressions or smoothing of skin, hair, or fine facial details in order to produce a coherent, usable face. Recover Faces is intended for portraits and people-focused imagery where standard upscaling cannot recover meaningful facial structure.

Properties

  • Supports Image Upscale workflows.

Best for

  • Reconstructing facial detail from extremely low-resolution or damaged images
  • Automatically detecting and processing multiple faces within a single image
  • Enables usable portrait results where traditional upscaling fails

Avoid for

  • Larger images (user `Detail Faces` for that

Tips

  • Intelligent facial Restoration for low-resolution images
