# Introduction

Access the world's most powerful AI media enhancement APIs designed for true scale and automation. Our enhancement models are used by 3M+ users worldwide and trusted by teams at Google, Tesla, Nike, and Nvidia as their last-mile solution for improving the quality of their images and videos.

All of our AI models are developed in-house by our team of PhD researchers in Dallas, Texas. Topaz AI models focus on unparalleled:

* **Quality**: Industry-defining quality fit for professional use cases ranging from Hollywood to AAA game studios to pro photographers.
* **Fidelity**: Preserve the original details and identities in source media with Topaz Labs models better than any other offering in the industry.
* **Efficiency**: Low per-unit cost with maximum speed for enhancing thousands or even millions of files at a time.

### What Makes the Topaz Labs API Unique?

Automation requires a different way of thinking about enhancement. For years, creatives have had access to the best interactive applications to refine their images and videos — manually adjusting parameters until they hit that sweet spot. At scale, there isn't room for that. You need a solution that moves as fast as you do without sacrificing quality.

Topaz models have default, automatic settings, which can produce the highest quality outcome with no manual tuning.

### Model Types

Topaz Labs offers three AI model familes:

* **Precision**: Models designed to improve quality while preserving original source characteristics.
* **Generative**: Models designed to improve quality by intelligently adding detail and texture while preserving artistic intent.
* **Creative**: Models designed to add new levels of detail that can transform objects, identity, and stylization.

Additionally, we offer various other families of models, such as Sharpen, Denoise, Utilities, and more.
