Quick Start

Photo AI is available as a desktop application on both Mac and Windows computers. There is no mobile version at the moment due to the resource-intensive nature of AI models.

Installation

Connect the computer to the internet to install, activate, and update. Using Photo AI does not require it.

Our model files are double-zipped to safeguard proprietary data. This may trigger alerts from certain security applications that impede model file downloads. Consider temporarily disabling antivirus, firewall, VPN, or proxy before installation.

Click the installer below to install Photo AI on your computer:

If you do not own the newest version of Topaz Photo AI, download the latest version you own from the My Products page in your Topaz Labs account.
