Topaz Photo

What it is for

Topaz Photo is a desktop photo enhance / denoise / sharpen desk: you open a Texas Theater still, compare Original vs Enhanced, and Personal is about $12–$19/month on the live promo cards. Use it when the job is a noisy or soft photo you start at a public $, not when you need Cleanup.pictures’ brush inpaint only.

Soft-note: the 2026-10-23 pricing page is multi-SKU (Web Image, Topaz Photo Personal / Pro, Studio, Video, Gigapixel). Cite the Photo line you check out. Distinct from Cleanup.pictures, Midjourney, and Leonardo.

What makes it unique: the cover is Topaz’s official Quick Start UI (1-texas-theater-arts.jpg, split Original / Enhanced, Autopilot + Sharpen / Denoise, filmstrip, Export image) from the Quick Start docs still — not a wordmark. The Texas S itself is ops of the preview.

Key features

• Preview split — Original vs Enhanced on the Texas Theater sign (cover still; Quick Start). One desk. Cover TEXAS sits here.
• Autopilot — the right-rail toggle that suggests Sharpen / Denoise (cover). Autopilot, not a Personal tile.
• Sharpen / Denoise — enhancements on the sidebar (cover; functions). Enhancements, not a $19.50 meter.
• Filmstrip — batch thumbnails + Select all (cover). A batch, not Get Started.
• Crop & Straighten — crop button under the mini preview (crop docs). A crop, not Enterprise.
• Export image — top-right export (cover). An export, not Studio.

Buy / Start trial are CTAs (not desks). Personal / Pro / Studio tiles stay in Pricing. Generative “Wonder” extras stay off Key features as AI extras.

Who it's for

Best fit: photographers who will pay the live Personal promo (about $19.50/mo for the first 3 months, then $39/mo) while they sharpen a first Texas-style still — not Studio $199.50 first-year unless they need the suite, and not a free forever editor (there isn’t one).

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from topazlabs.com/pricing. Soft-note: October promo cards print a struck-through list $ plus a first-term $; other Topaz Video / Gigapixel / Studio SKUs sit on the same page.

• Web Image — promo $12/mo (struck $19). Browser SKU, not the desktop Photo app.
• Topaz Photo Personal — promo $19.50/mo for the first 3 months, then $39/mo (struck $39). Desktop enhance / denoise / sharpen.
• Topaz Photo Pro — higher Personal sibling (promo cards we fetched also print $34.50/mo first 3 months then $69/mo on a Pro-shaped tile). Confirm the card labeled Pro at checkout.
• Studio — promo $199.50/yr first year, then $399/yr.
• Other SKUs — Video / Gigapixel / Web Video sit on the same page (e.g. Video promo tiles around $29–$59/mo). Soft-note only; this listing is Topaz Photo.
• Trial — app export is gated on a license; confirm the current trial on the product page.

Confirm checkout; promos expire. Do not invent a perpetual $12 Photo desktop $.

Limitations / costs

• There is no permanent $0 export. After any trial you pay a Photo or Studio SKU.
• The page is multi-SKU. Web Image $12 is not desktop Photo Personal.
• An enhance desk, not Cleanup.pictures’ Free $0 brush. For that inpaint see Cleanup.pictures.
• The product is not OSS. We omit a GitHub CTA rather than invent a product repo.

Alternatives

• Cleanup.pictures — a brush inpaint when you want Free $0 / Pro $5, not Topaz’s Texas Theater split.
• Midjourney — a generate studio when you want Basic $10, not denoise/sharpen of a RAW.
• Leonardo — an image studio when you want Free 150 fast tokens/day, not a local Photo app.
