Topaz · image upscaling

18 models for different jobs.

The choice of model changes the result more than the scale factor does. One reads the sign; another invents it. One keeps the face; another draws a different person. The crops below are where that shows.

Every crop is cut pixel-for-pixel from the result, with nothing resampled away. All upscales are 4x, and each comparison zooms.

Detail Faces keeps the film grain — the face still reads as a photograph. Standard V2 polishes the skin to plastic. Recover 3 is sharper but smooths the features. One detail matters: only Detail Faces left the shot black and white; the other two quietly converted it to RGB and tinted the skin.

Bloom 2 gives the most texture — freckles, pores, moisture on the skin. Standard V2 erases them. Bloom Creative brightens and adds blush; the face looks retouched. Bloom Realism stays closest to the source in tone — while the same model coarsens the animal’s fur. The choice depends on the material.

Bloom 2 separates the scale marks on the lens and the grain of the leatherette — Standard V2 smooths them away. On the nameplate the models diverge further: Standard V2 and Bloom 2 leave the lettering as it is, Bloom Realism writes “CHB 2”, and Bloom Creative invents a plausible “SloKak” while rebuilding the body — the pentaprism grows taller and squarer, turning the camera into a different model.

Standard V2 photographises the drawing: the feathers gain false volume and the straw hazes over. Text & Shapes overdoes the outline. Art & CGI is the most even — flat fills stay flat and the hatching stays separated.

Transparency Upscale separates the merged filaments: real transparency appears between the parachutes. Standard V2 keeps the murky haze of the source. The specialised model earns its place where semi-transparent elements overlap; on large, already-separated alpha the two produce the same thing.

Best for

  • High-fidelity upscaling for already high-resolution sources
  • Preserving fine detail and original texture during enlargement

Avoid for

  • Low-res photos

Topaz Recover 3Available

Topaz 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.

Tips

  • Generative diffusion model that excels at recovering rich, natural detail

Topaz Wonder 3Available

Topaz 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

Tips

  • Most advanced generative realism model for upscaling images

Topaz Face Recovery 3Retired

Topaz Face Recovery 3

Face Recovery 3 reconstructs plausible facial detail in low-resolution, damaged, or compressed portraits. Optional grain and reference-face guidance provide additional control, but the recovered identity and tiny features should still be reviewed because reconstruction creates plausible detail rather than retrieving missing pixels.

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

Topaz Recover FacesRetired

Topaz 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
