Hello!
We’re thrilled to introduce another major update to Gigapixel with version 8.1.0
You can now print your upscaled images through Gigaprint™ in this version of Gigapixel! Gigaprint will use the upscaling settings automatically upscale your image to create the highest quality print possible given your selected image size at an incredible 406 PPI. We are thrilled to support shipping to most countries around the world with this version of Gigaprint.
IMPORTANT: Gigaprints make excellent Christmas gifts, but make sure to send in your order before December 16th for it to arrive in time for Christmas!
Behind the scenes our team has also been fixing a number of bugs with Cloud Rendering, the Redefine model, and more. We have much in store for you after the holiday season, so please stay tuned!

Announcing Gigaprint™ with WhiteWall
You can now order prints of your photos directly from Gigapixel’s new Gigaprint™ mode. We’re excited to announce our partnership with WhiteWall to provide the highest quality prints possible with Gigaprint, and to deliver them to Topaz Labs customers around the world.
Gigaprint will allow you to get the highest quality print possible at up to 406 PPI, with a high degree of color accuracy and pixel-perfect upscaling to match the final printed size and medium. We send the upscaled image directly to WhiteWall, and after a quality check by the photo lab it goes straight to the printing production line without alterations, file conversions, or further upscaling.
With Gigaprint, you can first determine the best upscaling model and settings in the Edit mode, and then switch to the Gigaprint mode to select your size and create an amazing print.
Print Assistant inside Gigapixel’s Gigaprint will help you get the best quality print possible. The print assistant allows you to preview the simulated colors of your printed image on your monitor, auto-upscales your image to the right dimensions, checks for a high quality print resolution, and visualizes out-of-gamut areas of your image. In the preview window, the image shown is soft-proofed using WhiteWall’s production-ready ICC printing profile. This allows you to view the colors of the final image for maximum accuracy.
Gigaprint is available all around the world! You’re able to select your shipping country, and to pick from print sizes based on your location in either inches or centimeters. There’s a number of sizes available, and we will be expanding the available print options in the future!
Gigaprint™ Your Photos on Acrylic
We are launching Gigaprint™ starting with their ultraHD Acrylic Photo Paper option. This is a stunning Fuji Crystal Professional Archive Maxima photo paper set under 1/16" of acrylic glass and backed by aluminum rails. When you open up the box, you’re going to be impressed by the results.
All prints are currently shipped flat and pre-assembled with WhiteWall and Topaz branding and in sturdy packaging to protect your prints. They will arrive super fast, generally in less than 9 days via air freight straight from the production line.
Lastly, every Gigaprint comes with a sturdy aluminum rail backing for easy hanging of even the largest prints.
There’s more coming from the WhiteWall and Topaz partnership, so stay tuned!
Gigaprint™ FAQs
Will you offer more printing options other than the acrylic photo paper prints? Yes, but for the holiday season only this option is currently available.
Will you offer more printing sizes? We currently offer a limited selection of print sizes for different aspect ratios. We’ll be adding more size options soon. If you think there’s a particular size we should add - please let us know in the comments or email us at prints@topazlabs.com

How much does a Gigaprint cost? Do you have a pricing list? You can view all the pricing by selecting a size in the app, or by checking out the pricing sheet here.
How does the print come packaged? The quality of the packaging provided by WhiteWall is excellent. Depending on the size of the print, there will be a wooden frame, bubble wrap, and packaging foam with corner protectors to prevent any damage to your print.
Will you offer refunds for Gigaprint? No, since we are working with a third party to provide this service, we cannot offer refunds for Gigaprint orders. This includes upscaling artifacts, so please make sure to examine your print preview prior to ordering. However - if there’s an issue with your print such as damage during shipping, please reach out to us at prints@topazlabs.com so we can help.
Do you keep my printed file? Only temporarily. We will store your print image for up to 7 days after which it is automatically deleted from our system. During this time, only our support team and WhiteWall’s print team can access your image for production purposes. Your uploaded image will not be used for any other purposes and will never be used for training our AI models.
Which file formats are supported? JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files are supported by Gigaprint. We recommend printing using TIFF files for the best results.
What’s the shipping time? Prints will generally arrive within 9 days via air freight, string from the production line. Please make sure to place your order by December 16th for your print to arrive in time for Christmas.
What’s Next for Gigapixel?
This release marks an important milestone for Gigapixel.
It’s been an incredible year for Gigapixel. We launched 2 new generative AI models this year with Recovery and Redefine. We launched the Text & Shapes model and Low Res v2, Face Recovery v2, Cloud Rendering, Gigaprint, and more! Going all the way from Gigapixel 6 to Gigapixel 8, we re-introduced comparison mode and even enabled upscaling in high colorspaces up to ProPhoto.
But there’s still so much more left to do.
Next year we’re going to expand your ability to get incredible upscaling results using Gigapixel. You can expect major updates to performance, quality, and stability, especially for our newer models and features such as Redefine and Cloud Rendering.
We will share more information in an upcoming roadmap post, but expect to see more exciting new AI models and capabilities, as well as some long-requested quality of life and workflow updates to the application.
Stay tuned for more!
