Adobe Acquires Topaz Labs, AI Company Offering Photo & Video Enhancements

Together, they will provide tools "to achieve exceptional quality across every format and workflow."

Adobe announced its acquisition of Topaz Labs, a company specializing in AI tools for photo and video enhancement. Two of its most popular solutions are Astra for video upscaling and Wonder for image editing. The studio has received an Emmy for its impressive video technology.

"Topaz Labs provides a broad array of advanced AI models for video and image enhancement that analyze and improve existing visual content by sharpening detail, removing noise, restoring footage and increasing resolution, making them essential for any workflow that combines real-world capture with AI-generated imagery," Adobe said in the press release.

Together, the two companies will expand Adobe's video and image model offerings with "state-of-the-art AI enhancement models" in Adobe Firefly, Firefly Services, and Creative Cloud apps.

"Topaz Labs will also bring its proprietary Neurostream technology that enables large, complex AI models to run locally on consumer devices, democratizing advanced image and video models previously limited to high-end systems or cloud-only usage and positioning Adobe to tap into the growing opportunity for efficient, on-device AI video."

Topaz Labs products will remain available as standalone offerings on the company’s website. The deal is expected to be finalized in the second half of 2026.
