Introducing Topaz Image Enhance on WaveSpeedAI

Supercharge Your Images with Topaz Image Enhance on WaveSpeedAI

Photography and digital imaging have entered a new era. Whether you’re a professional photographer needing print-ready enlargements, a content creator working with legacy footage, or a digital artist looking to upscale AI-generated artwork, the quality of your final output depends heavily on the tools you use. Today, we’re excited to announce that Topaz Image Enhance is now available on WaveSpeedAI, bringing professional-grade AI upscaling to our platform.

What is Topaz Image Enhance?

Topaz Image Enhance is powered by Topaz Labs’ industry-leading AI technology—the same technology that has made Topaz a household name among professional photographers and video editors worldwide. Unlike traditional upscaling methods that simply stretch pixels and create blurry, artifact-ridden results, Topaz Image Enhance uses deep learning to intelligently analyze your images and reconstruct missing details.

The difference is remarkable. Traditional interpolation-based upscaling treats every pixel the same way, resulting in soft, muddy images. Topaz’s AI models understand the actual content of your images—recognizing faces, textures, edges, and fine details—and add pixels where they make visual sense. The result is larger images that often look better than the originals, with enhanced sharpness and clarity that reveals details you never knew existed.

Key Features

• AI-Powered Detail Recovery: Topaz Image Enhance doesn’t just enlarge—it enhances. The AI models intelligently add realistic detail during upscaling, recovering information that traditional methods would lose.

• Five Specialized Enhancement Models: Choose the right tool for your content:

  • Standard V2: General-purpose upscaling optimized for most photographs
  • Low Resolution V2: Specifically designed for very small or heavily compressed source images
  • CGI: Optimized for computer-generated images, 3D renders, and digital art
  • High Fidelity V2: Maximum detail preservation for already high-quality sources
  • Text Refine: Specialized for images containing text, documents, and screenshots

• Flexible Output Options: Specify exact width and height for your target dimensions, with optional crop-to-fill functionality for precise layout requirements.

• Multiple Output Formats: Export as JPEG for optimized file sizes or PNG for lossless quality with transparency support.

• Face Preservation: Critical for portrait photography—the AI specifically recognizes and preserves facial details during enhancement, avoiding the common “plastic” look that plagues lesser upscalers.

Real-World Use Cases

Print Production

Transform web-resolution images into print-ready artwork. Photographers regularly use Topaz technology to upscale images for large format printing—transforming a modest 12-megapixel image into wall-worthy art without the softness or artifacts you’d get from Photoshop’s standard resize.

Legacy Photo Recovery

Breathe new life into old digital photos. Images from early digital cameras, old phone photos, or scanned prints can be dramatically improved. The Low Resolution V2 model excels at recovering detail from heavily compressed or very small source files.

CGI and Digital Art Enhancement

Game developers, 3D artists, and digital illustrators can upscale renders and artwork while preserving the unique characteristics of computer-generated imagery. The CGI model understands the specific patterns and textures common in digital art.

Document and Screenshot Enhancement

Need to include a screenshot in a presentation or print a document scan? The Text Refine model preserves text clarity and readability during upscaling—essential for business and professional applications.

Social Media and E-Commerce

Platforms increasingly demand higher resolution images. Upscale product photos for detailed zoom views, or enhance older content to meet modern display requirements.

AI-Generated Image Enhancement

If you’re using AI image generators on WaveSpeedAI, Topaz Image Enhance pairs perfectly to upscale your creations to production-ready resolutions while adding the fine detail that makes images look truly photographic.

Getting Started on WaveSpeedAI

Using Topaz Image Enhance on WaveSpeedAI is straightforward. Here’s a quick example using the WaveSpeed Python SDK:

import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "topaz/image/enhance",
    {
        "image": "https://your-image-url.com/photo.jpg",
        "width": 2160,
        "height": 2160,
        "model": "Standard V2"
    },
)

print(output["outputs"][0])

The API accepts your source image (via URL or direct upload), your target dimensions, and your chosen enhancement model. Within seconds, you’ll receive a professionally enhanced, upscaled image ready for any application.
