Adobe acquires Topaz Labs, one of the most beloved AI tools for enhancing photos and videos
Summary
Adobe plans to buy Topaz Labs to keep creators inside its ecosystem for photo and video enhancement tasks. Topaz Labs is known for AI tools that upscale video and improve images, including models that run locally on standard laptop and desktop GPUs. The deal fills a workflow gap for Adobe users who currently leave Creative Cloud to denoise images or increase clip resolution. Adobe expects the transaction to close in the second half of 2026, and it will keep Topaz Labs services available separately for now.
