As demand for high quality video content continues to surge across marketing, entertainment, and digital platforms, creators are seeking more powerful yet accessible tools to enhance visual fidelity. Wondershare has announced a strategic collaboration with Topaz Labs aimed at bringing industry leading AI video enhancement capabilities into its creative software ecosystem, marking a significant milestone for AI driven video production.
Wondershare, a global provider of creative and productivity solutions, said the initial phase of the collaboration integrates Topaz Labs’ diffusion driven enhancement model, Starlight, into Wondershare UniConverter. The integration debuts in UniConverter version 17 and will expand to additional Wondershare products including Filmora, SelfyzAI, and Repairit in future updates. The move is designed to give everyday creators access to advanced enhancement technology typically reserved for high end production workflows.
The partnership comes as the global video production market continues rapid expansion. Valued at nearly 99 billion dollars in 2023, the market is projected to grow to more than 746 billion dollars by 2030. As video creation accelerates across social media, streaming, and marketing channels, creators are increasingly working with a wide range of source materials that require higher resolution, clarity, and consistency.

Topaz Labs’ Starlight model is described as the world’s first diffusion based AI solution built specifically for video enhancement. Unlike traditional approaches, Starlight delivers full temporal consistency across frames while performing multiple restoration tasks simultaneously. Through its integration with UniConverter, users can upscale, denoise, deblur, de-alias, and sharpen video within a single workflow, improving footage quality up to HD or 4K resolution even from sources below 480p.
A key advantage of the integration is its cloud based compute architecture, which removes the need for high end GPUs. This allows creators using standard consumer devices to achieve professional grade results quickly. The enhanced UniConverter workflow supports a broad range of use cases, including restoring legacy footage, improving low resolution online videos, refining animated content, and upgrading AI generated visuals for reuse across channels.

Wondershare said the collaboration reflects its long term vision of building a robust, AI driven creative ecosystem by working closely with technology innovators. “Wondershare has always been committed to empowering creators by bringing advanced technologies into accessible, easy-to-use tools,” said Sam Zhang, Vice President of Wondershare. “We are delighted to collaborate with Topaz Labs, whose leadership in AI video enhancement aligns closely with our mission. This partnership marks an exciting step forward, and we will continue exploring new collaborations and innovations that help creators produce exceptional content with greater efficiency and confidence.”
Topaz Labs also highlighted the strategic alignment between the two companies. “For years, Wondershare has been a leader in video editing and production technology,” said Dr. Suraj Raghuraman, Head of AI Engine at Topaz Labs. “Much like our team here at Topaz, Wondershare has built a reputation for innovation and quality in their tools, so we’re thrilled to partner with them to bring world-class video enhancement to UniConverter, and soon to other Wondershare products as well.”
For marketers and creative teams, the collaboration signals how AI video enhancement is becoming a core capability rather than a niche feature. By embedding advanced models directly into widely used creative software, Wondershare is lowering the barrier to high fidelity video production.
