Why creators choose Topaz Upscale
Upscale without quality loss
Topaz Upscale intelligently enlarges images while adding fine detail and sharpness. It's not just a resize. The model learns what detail should be there and reconstructs it, so the enlarged image looks like a larger original photo rather than an interpolated blur. A smartphone photo enlarged to poster size looks sharp and detailed.
Denoise and sharpen in one pass
Low-light photos, compressed web images, or images from smartphones often have noise or compression artifacts. Topaz Upscale cleans that up while sharpening fine detail. The result looks cleaner and crisper than the original. Grain disappears. Texture becomes clear. Details that compression obscured become visible.
Batch enhance existing assets fast
You have a library of photos that need sharpening or were shot at low resolution. Run them through Topaz Upscale and they're ready for use. Fast enough to process dozens of images without long waits, making batch enhancement feasible for production workflows.
Print-ready enhancement
Enlarge images for print, billboards, or large displays without the quality degradation of simple upscaling. Topaz Upscale adds perceived detail so enlarged images hold their impact. A 1K photo enlarged to 4K looks professional on large displays.
How to use Topaz Upscale in Craze
You upload an image and Craze enhances it.
- Start a project and upload the image you want to enhance. It can be a photo, a screenshot, a scanned document, or any image type.
- Ask for Topaz Upscale and Craze processes it. The model denoise, sharpens, and upscales the image to a higher resolution.
- Download the enhanced result or add it to your project.
It's fast. Most images process in seconds, so upscaling is part of your workflow, not a bottleneck.

Who Topaz Upscale is for
Smartphone and mobile photographers
Enhance photos shot on phones. Sharpen detail, reduce low-light noise, and enlarge for display or print. Mobile photos often have compressed files or low light artifacts that Topaz Upscale cleans up beautifully. A smartphone photo becomes print-ready.
Archival and scanned image restoration
Enlarge old photos, scanned documents, or low-resolution archival images. Topaz Upscale adds perceived detail and clarity, making old images usable in modern contexts. A scanned photo from a newspaper becomes usable for printing.
E-commerce and product imagery
Enhance product photos, especially if they're low-res or need to be enlarged for larger displays. Sharper, cleaner product images sell better. A web-sourced product photo becomes sharp enough for a catalog.
Web and social media enhancement
Take web-sourced images and enhance them for use in your own projects. Sharpen, denoise, and enlarge low-quality sources into presentable assets. A compressed web graphic becomes sharp and usable.
Archive and restoration workflows
Restore historical photography, repair low-quality scans, and make legacy media usable for modern publication. Topaz Upscale adds detail and removes artifacts, bringing old photos back to life.
Topaz Upscale workflow in production
Topaz Upscale is often the final step before delivery. Generate or shoot images at lower resolution to save time and cost, then upscale with Topaz when you're ready to deliver. Or upscale archived images to modern resolutions. On Craze, upscaling is fast and affordable enough for iterative work. Generate content with your model of choice, then upscale before putting it into your timeline or exporting for display.
Topaz Upscale vs SeedVR2 Upscale
Both upscale images. SeedVR2 Upscale offers 2x, 3x, and 4x image scaling at factor-dependent rates; Craze does not expose its video route. Topaz Upscale specializes in image enhancement. For background removal, pair with BRIA RMBG 2.0 or consider upscaling after cleanup.
