Adobe to acquire Topaz Labs

By PR admin | Published: June 25, 2026

Adobe announced that it is acquiring Topaz Labs, the company behind popular AI-powered image and video enhancement tools:

No financial terms were disclosed.
The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
Topaz Labs’ standalone products will continue to be available after the acquisition.
Topaz CEO Eric Yang will continue leading the team.
Adobe highlighted Topaz’s Neurostream technology, which allows large AI models to run efficiently on-device (locally on laptops/desktops) rather than relying solely on the cloud. This enables faster performance, lower costs, and better privacy.
