Topaz Video Denoise removes noise and grain from video while preserving natural texture, fine detail, and overall image quality for low-light footage, compressed video, archival restoration, and production workflows. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Topaz Video Denoise reduces video noise using a selected Nyx model.


Why Choose This?

  • Video noise reduction — Reduce noise and grain in footage.
  • Model selection — Choose from the available processing models.
  • Resolution options — Select an output resolution tier.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
videoYesThe video to process.
modelNoProcessing model. Options: Nyx, Nyx Fast, Nyx XL, Nyx High Fidelity. Default: Nyx.
resolutionNoThe resolution to process and output the video at. The source aspect ratio is preserved. Options: 720p, 1080p, 2k, 4k. Default: 1080p.

How to Use

  1. Upload your video — Provide a file or URL.
  2. Choose a model — Select the processing option for your input.
  3. Select a resolution — Choose the desired output tier.
  4. Submit — Process and download the result.

Pricing

Pricing is calculated upfront from the source video duration and selected resolution and processing model. The source duration is rounded up to the next whole second, capped at 300 seconds for billing. The minimum charge is $0.10, and the total is rounded up to the next $0.10.

Example Costs

For a 10-second source video:

Model720p1080p2k4k
Nyx / Nyx XL$0.10$0.20$0.30$0.50
Nyx Fast$0.10$0.10$0.20$0.30
Nyx High Fidelity$0.10$0.10$0.30$0.30

Examples use the selected resolution and a billing basis of 30 source frames per second. Other durations have different totals; the displayed price is calculated before submission.


Notes

  • Use source clips up to 300 seconds.
  • The source aspect ratio is retained when selecting a resolution.

Parameters

Task Submission Parameters

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
videostringYes-The video to process.
modelstringNoNyxNyx, Nyx Fast, Nyx XL, Nyx High FidelityThe Topaz model to use. Nyx: High-quality denoising with natural texture preservation (default). Nyx Fast: Fast denoising for high-volume workflows, half the price of Nyx. Nyx XL: High-intensity denoising for extreme noise. Nyx High Fidelity: Precision denoising for demanding pipelines.
resolutionstringNo1080p720p, 1080p, 2k, 4kThe resolution to process and output the video at. The source aspect ratio is preserved.

Every model also accepts the global request options enable_sync_mode and enable_base64_output; see their pages for details.
