When using these methods, you can simply enter the exact width or height that you need the final image to have and the software will scale the image accordingly while maintaining the aspect ratio. If you precisely the width or height of the final image, then I suggest using the resizing by width or height method. You can either use one of the pre-defined factors or even type in your own.

By default, the software allows you to multiply the resolution of the image anywhere from 0.5x up to 6x the size of the image. You simply click on the factor by which you want to increase or decrease the size of the image. Once you launch the software, you will notice that the software provides three different resize modes that you can use to resize any image. But that’s not something that bothers me too much. You cannot launch it from within any of your favorite photo editing software as a plug-in. And if you have a whole lot of images that you want to enlarge at one, that’s easy too – thanks to the batch processing feature that’s built into this software. Like with any other software from Topaz Labs, the interface is clean, intuitive, and quite easy to understand and use. That’s due to the software recreating the details with the help of its AI feature.

Īs you’ll see further in my review, the results that we get out of the software are stunningly detailed and in some cases even better than the original photo. This has been possible through training and exposure to millions of test images. It increases the actual sharpness of the upscaled photo by recovering real detail in the image. But, Topaz claims that Gigapixel works differently. Most of the traditional upscaling methods work by interpolating the existing information and by increasing edge contrast to make the image appear sharp. Topaz Gigapixel AI is a one-stop solution when it comes to enlarging full-sized images either for larger prints or for restoring your older low-resolution images. It’s a one-payment full photo editing suite that allows some very quick and powerful edits. If editing is taking you too long then check out Topaz Studio 2 (see our review here).

Topaz creates products by talking to users, finding their problems, and solving them.
