SAN JOSE, CA — June 25, 2026 — Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE), a global technology leader that unlocks creativity, productivity and customer experiences through innovative tools and platforms, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Topaz Labs, an AI company specializing in industry-leading video and image enhancement models.
From first-time creators to creative professionals and businesses, Adobe powers breakthrough AI tools and technology at every step of the creative process. Adobe’s Creative AI portfolio brings together industry-leading AI models from Adobe Firefly, an all-in-one creative AI studio, and Adobe Creative Cloud applications, including Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, and more, to give creative professionals pixel-level control and precision tools.
As AI rapidly reshapes video and image production, creators are increasingly working in hybrid workflows that combine traditionally shot footage with AI-generated content, and are expected to deliver high-quality results across an increasingly diverse range of formats, devices, and production methods. Topaz Labs offers a wide range of advanced AI models for video and image enhancement. These models analyze and improve existing visual content by sharpening details, removing noise, restoring footage, and increasing resolution, making them essential to workflows that combine real-world capture with AI-generated imagery.
Topaz Labs develops professional-quality AI video and image enhancement models and tools. Trusted by creative professionals such as Asteria Film Co, award-winning filmmaker Robert Stone and corporations, these tools deliver superior fidelity and high-quality results across professional film production, documentary restoration, social content creation, photography, and archival workflows. The company has developed proprietary AI models that support professional video use cases such as upscaling, sharpening, stabilization, frame interpolation, denoising, and video restoration.
“Adobe Firefly, Firefly Services, and Creative Cloud provide the industry’s best creative tools and top AI models for creators and brands, and we’re excited to work with Topaz Labs to build on the strong demand for these products,” said David Wadhwani, president of Adobe’s Creativity & Productivity business. “Creators are creating more content by combining the images and videos they capture and generate. With Topaz Labs, we give all creators the quality and control to easily produce that content at higher quality and resolution.”
Eric Yang, CEO of Topaz Labs, said: “We’ve always believed that technology should contribute to human creativity, not replace it, and Adobe is no different. Together, we believe we can dramatically expand the possibilities for filmmakers and creators around the world.”
With Topaz Labs, Adobe expands its offering of video and image models with cutting-edge AI-enhanced models from Adobe Firefly, Firefly Services, and Creative Cloud apps, giving creators, designers, video professionals, photographers, and businesses the tools to achieve superior quality in any format and workflow. With millions of customers, Topaz Labs and its Emmy Award-winning AI technology is integrated across Adobe’s Creative AI portfolio, giving creatives the ability to enhance footage, restore and remaster archival content, and blend AI-generated and traditionally captured content into seamless final products. Topaz Labs is also introducing its proprietary Neurostream technology, which allows large and complex AI models to run locally on consumer devices, democratizing advanced image and video models previously limited to use only on high-end systems or the cloud, and enabling Adobe to take advantage of the growing opportunity for efficient on-device AI video.
After the transaction closes, Topaz Labs customers of all sizes can expect continued support and investment in future innovations, and Topaz Labs products will continue to be available as standalone products through the company’s website. Following closure, Topaz Labs CEO Eric Yang will continue to lead the Topaz Labs team.
