Three or four stars, depending on the AI models and images you use. Some AI models applied to certain images work very well, but sometimes no combination is satisfying, even with manual settings.

Good to know: 1° updates are included in the purchase for only one year; 2° the quality of the templates has varied considerably over time (I mean NOT consistently improved).

In short, a very good software only if your own images are suitable for it...

Beware of the changing licensing of this product. The company behind Gigapixel, Topaz Labs recently changed their licensing, so now there is a separate "Pro" version of the product, so they did a bait and switch kind of thing - earlier license is nowhere to be found, and the new "updated" license puts some limits on commercial use of the product, so it could be seen that they encourage you to buy this new "Pro" version. I and others asked about this on their forum, and they weren't very transparent about this at all, and the old license is nowhere to be found.

Gigapixel AI does more than just the usual unsharp masking of other programs, it actually reveals additional details and not just sharpens what is there.

Gigapixel AI is not perfect; it requires some experimenting with the different AI models and settings, but with a little experimentation, it can greatly improve any image.

Also, keep in mind this program requires a high-level updated cpu and graphics card to successfully use the AI functions.

P.S. Gigapixel AI is also good at "reducing" large photos and keeping the details.

What most impressed me was the "Face recovery Tool" option. This tool is designed specifically for detecting and improving "faces" in images. This option greatly improves the detail from low-resolution or pixelated "faces". The developers of the program promise that future versions will also allow recovery of more than just "faces".

It does a super job but it take sometime if you don't have External GPU like nvidia and it uses your CPU.

Excuse me, does this software actually "Constantly" need to be connected to the internet for its Neural Networking Deep Learning? I mean like fetching Database from its own server to enhance image

No it doesn't need internet, i just tested it with the wifi off and it finish the picture. It probably download all requirement files to work during installation.

The program works well even off the internet. The only time my copy updates is when I generate enhancement options that may require additional model files or when a model update is available.

What is Topaz Gigapixel?

Topaz Gigapixel is a software that upscales and enhances images up to 16 times their original size, making it suitable for large-scale prints and billboard-sized projects. It allows users to crop, zoom, and maximize photos, images, and AI-rendered art, and can upscale and enhance an image with one click. The software can render realistic skin textures, fabrics, feathers, and hair due to its training with millions of images. It also offers the flexibility to either maintain high fidelity to the original image or encourage user creativity. The software can transform low-resolution or blurry images into high-resolution photographs, preserving the original image's essence and details. It is particularly effective for small images under 1,000 pixels, restoring them to a usable state. Its Face Recovery Gen2 feature can clear away pixelation, dust, and distractions to reveal true facial details with one click.
