Topaz API
Both Topaz Labs upscalers behind one REST API and one balance. Video upscaling from $0.002 per output second up to 4K, and image upscaling at $0.003 per megapixel up to 16x — billed per job, no subscription. New accounts start with $0.20 of free balance, enough to test both upscalers on real files. Each model below has its own page with a live browser playground, full parameter docs, and current rates.

Topaz API FAQ
- How much does the Topaz API cost?
- On Unifically, Topaz Video Upscale is billed per second of output video, tiered by resolution: $0.002/sec at 480p, $0.01/sec at 1080p, and $0.04/sec at 4K. Topaz Image Upscale is $0.003 per megapixel of output — a 4K-sized result is roughly eight megapixels, about $0.025. Both are pay-per-use with no subscription; live rates are on the pricing page.
- Can I try the Topaz upscalers free?
- Yes. New Unifically accounts start with $0.20 of free balance — enough for several image upscales at $0.003 per megapixel, or about 20 seconds of 1080p video upscaling. That works like a free trial with no subscription to cancel, and both models run in browser playgrounds so you can test a real file before writing any code.
- What can the Topaz Video Upscale API do?
- It upscales video 1.25x to 4x up to a 4K cap, and can optionally retime FPS to 24, 25, 30, 45, 50, or 60. Source FPS is preserved by default. Uploads run up to 500 MB and 300 seconds.
- What can the Topaz Image Upscale API do?
- It upscales images from 1x to 16x with denoise, sharpen, and face enhancement controls, and comes with presets tuned for photos, text, and anime.
- Can I upscale AI-generated media with Topaz?
- Yes. A common pipeline is generating with a video or image model on the same API, then passing the output to a Topaz upscaler in a second call — one API key and one balance cover both steps.
- Do I need a subscription to use the Topaz API?
- No. Unifically is pay-per-use: you top up a balance and each job deducts its exact cost. There is no monthly fee or credit expiry, and Topaz shares one API key and balance with 100+ other video, image, and audio models.
