Topaz Labs

Develops AI-powered image and video enhancement software, including upscaling, denoising, and sharpening tools for photographers and video professionals.

Topaz Labs was founded in 2005 (some sources cite 2008) by Dr. Feng "Albert" Yang, an entrepreneur with a background in video and signal processing who had previously co-founded semiconductor company Fortemedia. The company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Topaz Labs builds a suite of desktop applications that use deep learning to enhance photos and video, including Gigapixel AI (image upscaling), Photo AI, Video AI, and DeNoise AI. Its tools are widely used by photographers, videographers, and post-production studios to upscale and restore imagery. The company has operated largely bootstrapped, funding growth through product revenue rather than large venture rounds, and is led today by CEO Eric Yang.
