Topaz Gigapixel prices by plan
These are the list prices from the Topaz Labs pricing page, checked in October 2026 and shown without promotions. Topaz runs sales often, so the number at checkout can be lower.
| Topaz plan | Listed price per year | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Gigapixel Personal | $149 | Gigapixel on your own computer, for personal use |
| Gigapixel Pro | $499 | Gigapixel with the commercial license and seat management |
| Topaz Studio | $399 | Gigapixel together with the other Topaz photo apps |
| Topaz Studio Pro | $799 | The same bundle with commercial use and team features |
Topaz also offers monthly billing at a higher effective rate, and the monthly figure changes with the offer, so read it on their pricing page before you decide. Older perpetual licenses are no longer sold. The software now needs an active subscription for updates.
What Gigapixel costs over one, two and three years
A yearly subscription looks small until you add it up. The table converts each plan into a monthly figure and a three year total, next to UnblurPicture billed yearly.
| Plan | Per month | After 1 year | After 3 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gigapixel Personal | about $12.42 | $149 | $447 |
| Gigapixel Pro | about $41.58 | $499 | $1,497 |
| Topaz Studio | about $33.25 | $399 | $1,197 |
| UnblurPicture Personal, yearly | $9 | $108 | $324 |
| UnblurPicture Pro, yearly | $24 | $288 | $864 |
| UnblurPicture Studio, yearly | $74 | $888 | $2,664 |
The comparison that matters is Gigapixel Pro against UnblurPicture Pro. Both include a commercial license. One runs on your computer and the other runs in a browser, so the real difference is where the work happens and what you do with the files afterwards.
Who should pay for Gigapixel and who should not
Gigapixel is a serious product, and for some people it is the right spend.
- Photographers who shoot RAW and want to enlarge in a desktop workflow, offline, with files that never leave the computer.
- Studios with a fast graphics card that process hundreds of large files a day and want local rendering.
- Anyone whose client contract forbids cloud processing.
It is the wrong spend for others. A seller with a few hundred product photos, an agent with a folder of listing JPGs, a print on demand shop with AI art, or a small studio fixing client files on an old laptop is paying for a heavy install and a GPU requirement they do not need. These buyers need a bigger, sharper file with a commercial license, and they need it today. For that, a browser tool is faster to start and cheaper per year.
A cheaper alternative to Gigapixel for print and listings
UnblurPicture enlarges 2x or 4x, sharpens in the same pass and writes 300 DPI into the export. Pro takes batches of 20 photos, outputs PNG, JPG or TIFF up to 8,000 px on the long edge, and includes the commercial license. Studio adds batches of 100, a REST API and three seats. There is nothing to install, and the processing runs on our servers, so an old laptop is fine.
| UnblurPicture Pro | Gigapixel Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per year | $288 | $499 |
| Runs on | Any browser | Mac or Windows with a capable GPU |
| Maximum upscale | 4x, up to 8,000 px | Larger factors on your own hardware |
| Unblur and sharpen in the same pass | Yes | Separate models, strongest with the Photo app |
| RAW files | No, export to TIFF or JPG first | Yes |
| Works offline | No | Yes |
| Commercial license | Yes | Yes |
| Batch | 20 per batch, ZIP download | Yes, limited by your computer |
Gigapixel wins on RAW support, very large enlargements and offline work. UnblurPicture wins on price, setup time and the fact that blur is fixed while the photo is enlarged. A fuller side by side with the rest of the Topaz line is in our Topaz Photo AI alternative guide, and the best AI image upscaler roundup compares four tools by price and use.
How far each tool takes a real file
Say you sell wall art and have a 2,000 px render. At 300 DPI that prints at about 6.7 inches wide. Enlarged 4x it becomes 8,000 px, which prints at 26.7 inches at 300 DPI or 40 inches at 200 DPI. Both Gigapixel and UnblurPicture can get there. If the art is going on posters, shirts or canvas, the increase DPI of image page shows the size table, and print shops that quote large format jobs can price the physical sign with sign estimating software.
Try it on one file before you cancel anything
- Take the file Gigapixel would have handled, ideally a JPG that is small or a little soft.
- Upload it and choose the preset closest to the photo, such as Phone photo or Product photo.
- Pick 2x or 4x and compare before and after with the zoom loupe at 100 percent.
- Download the 300 DPI file and open it in your normal workflow.
You get one preview before paying, so the test costs nothing. If the result holds up on your own files, the yearly Pro plan saves you $211 a year against Gigapixel Pro.
Gigapixel AI price questions
How much does Topaz Gigapixel AI cost?
In October 2026 Topaz Labs lists Gigapixel Personal at $149 a year and Gigapixel Pro at $499 a year. The Studio bundle is $399 a year and Studio Pro is $799. Perpetual licenses are no longer sold, and sale prices vary, so confirm the number on the Topaz pricing page.
Is Gigapixel AI a one time purchase?
No longer. Topaz moved its apps to subscriptions, so you pay yearly or monthly to keep access and get updates. Older perpetual licenses bought before the change keep working on the versions they covered, but new buyers pay a subscription.
Is Gigapixel AI worth the price?
It is worth it if you enlarge RAW files on a powerful computer and need offline processing. It is hard to justify for occasional JPG enlargements, where a browser upscaler at $9 to $24 a month billed yearly gives a similar result for print and listings.
What is a cheaper alternative to Gigapixel AI?
UnblurPicture Pro costs $288 a year, against $499 for Gigapixel Pro, and includes a commercial license, 4x upscaling to 8,000 px and TIFF export. It runs in a browser, so no install or graphics card is needed. Gigapixel remains stronger for RAW and offline work.
Does Gigapixel AI have a commercial license?
Yes, the Pro plan is the one meant for commercial work, and Personal is for personal use. UnblurPicture follows the same split, with the commercial license on Pro and Studio. If you sell prints or edit photos for clients, check the license before buying either.
