Bloom.

Bloom is Topaz Labs’ creative upscaling tool designed to improve the quality of AI-generated images. It focuses on enhancing clarity, texture, and realism while staying true to the spirit of the original image.

Bloom is typically used as a quality and realism pass, not as an image generator.

Creative upscaling for images is an advanced AI-driven technique that fundamentally rethinks traditional image resizing. It not only scales images—particularly AI-generated art and digital artwork—up to 8x their initial resolution but also intelligently enriches them by introducing new levels of detail and enhancing their immersive qualities.

Bloom is best used when:

- You like the composition or detail of an AI-generated image
- The image looks low quality, flat, or artificial
- You want the image to feel more real, usable, or professional

Common use cases include:

- Improving realism in AI-generated images
- Enhancing textures such as skin, hair, fabric, foliage, and environments
- Preparing images for video or further post-production
- Cleaning up AI artifacts before exporting to other tools

Bloom is often used mid-workflow, not always as a final step.

Bloom is built primarily for **AI creators and digital artists** working with AI-generated images.

Many users work in professional creative fields such as:

- AI content creation
- Concept development and pitch visuals
- Image-to-video workflows
- Product & Portrait Photography
- Marketing and design assets

Photographers can use Bloom, but for traditional photo enhancement and restoration, Topaz generally recommends *Topaz Photo or Topaz Gigapixel* unless creative upscaling is specifically desired.

Creativity Levels control how much Bloom is allowed to reinterpret or enhance an image.

- Lower Creativity Levels prioritize structure, identity, and fidelity to the original image
- Higher Creativity Levels allow stronger texture, lighting, and material enhancement

Different images respond differently, and users often experiment to find the best balance for each image.

Realism is designed to add natural-looking texture and detail to images that feel artificial or flat.

It is most useful when:

- AI images lack believable texture or lighting
- Surfaces feel smooth or synthetic
- The image needs to feel more natural or grounded

Realism is an enhancement tool, not a strict preservation mode. At stronger settings, it may reinterpret fine details.

Wonder 2 is designed to preserve existing detail and structure.

It works best when:

- The image already contains strong detail
- Accuracy and consistency matter more than enhancement
- Working with humans, faces, or repeated characters
- Keeping logos & text consistent

Wonder 2 focuses on clarity and polish rather than adding new detail.

At higher Creative Levels or when using Realism, Bloom may reinterpret fine details such as faces, skin texture, or small objects.

For sensitive areas:

- Use lower Creative Levels
- Use Precise mode when preservation is critical

Yes. You can guide Bloom with a prompt to reinforce context or intent.

Prompts work best when used to support the image rather than redefine it.

Bloom can generate up to four variations in a single run so you can compare results and choose the best output for your use case.

This is helpful because different variations may handle detail and texture differently.

Bloom is designed to improve image quality, but results depend on:

- The source image
- The settings used
- The level of enhancement applied

Bloom supports creative upscaling up to 8×.

Some plans include a cloud export size limit, commonly encountered around 32–33 megapixels.
