Adobe said Wednesday it has agreed to acquire Topaz Labs, a company known for AI-powered image and video enhancement software, in a move designed to strengthen its creative AI offerings across consumer and enterprise products.

The deal is intended to bring Topaz Labs' enhancement models into Adobe Firefly, Firefly Services and Creative Cloud apps such as Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere. Adobe said the combination will help creators and businesses improve footage, restore archival material and raise the quality of mixed workflows that blend captured and AI-generated content.

Topaz Labs has built tools focused on sharpening detail, reducing noise, increasing resolution and restoring video and photos. Adobe said those capabilities have become increasingly important as creative professionals work across more formats and production methods, especially in video, where generative AI is changing how projects are assembled and finished.

The company also highlighted Topaz Labs' ability to run large AI models directly on devices through its Neurostream technology. Adobe said that expertise could help it deliver faster and more responsive experiences while making advanced AI more practical and cost-effective for customers.

Topaz Labs' products are used by millions of customers, including creative professionals and large companies. Adobe said the company has developed professional-grade tools for use cases such as upscaling, stabilization, frame interpolation, noise removal and footage restoration. Adobe plans to integrate those capabilities across its creative AI portfolio while keeping Topaz Labs products available as standalone offerings after the transaction closes.

In a statement, Adobe creativity and productivity president David Wadhwani said the company has seen strong demand for its AI tools and that Topaz Labs would add more quality and control for people making content with both generated and captured media. Topaz Labs chief executive Eric Yang said the company has spent more than two decades focused on improving the appearance of images and video, and that Adobe shares its view that technology should support human creativity rather than replace it.

Adobe said Topaz Labs will continue to be led by Yang after the acquisition closes. The companies said customers should expect continued support and future investment in Topaz Labs products.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, pending regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Financial terms were not disclosed in the announcement.

The deal reflects Adobe's broader push to expand its AI capabilities for creative work. The company has made Firefly a central part of its product strategy as more creators and businesses adopt AI tools for image generation, editing and production. By adding Topaz Labs, Adobe is betting that enhancement technology, especially tools that improve real-world footage and still images, will become a key layer in hybrid creative workflows.

Adobe said the acquisition also builds on demand from enterprises using its Firefly Services APIs and other creative tools. For those customers, the company said the addition of Topaz Labs could help standardize quality across different content formats and production pipelines, from social media and photography to filmmaking and archive remastering.
