PixADair: AI Astrophoto Tools
Night Sky Photo Editor
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Crop, denoise, sharpen and upscale deep-sky astrophotos and FITS captures with Topaz Labs AI. Now laid out for the iPhone Duo folding display, on both screens.
PixADair is a multi-tool astrophotography editor powered by AI from Topaz Labs. Denoise, sharpen, upscale, and crop — then compare every change at full resolution.
Shooting the night sky means pushing your camera to its limits — high ISO, long exposures, and the noise that comes with them. PixADair gives you a complete toolkit to bring out the detail hidden underneath.
FOUR AI-POWERED TOOLS
Chain edits together in any order — each step is saved so you can go back and branch off at any point.
Denoise — three models (Normal, Strong, Extreme) tuned for different exposure levels
Sharpen — five modes including refocus, lens blur correction, and motion blur recovery
Upscale — enlarge 2x, 4x, or 6x with three fidelity models
Crop — frame your composition with region-matched before & after comparison
BEFORE & AFTER COMPARISON
Inspect every pixel. The interactive slider lets you drag between any edit step in full screen. Pinch to zoom up to 10x and pan around to compare fine detail across your entire edit history.
FLEXIBLE OUTPUT
Export as PNG, JPEG, or TIFF — whatever your editing workflow needs. Save directly to your photo library with one tap.
YOUR KEY, YOUR CONTROL
PixADair uses a bring-your-own-key model with the Topaz Labs API. There's no subscription, no account to create with us, and no middleman between you and the AI. You pay Topaz directly for only the processing you use — nothing more. Your images are sent straight to Topaz and never touch our servers.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Add your Topaz Labs API key in settings (once)
2. Import a photo from your library or share it from any app
3. Chain tools — denoise, sharpen, upscale, crop — in any order
4. Compare edits with the interactive slider, then save
Processing happens in the cloud, so your device stays fast and responsive.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Support for iPhone Duo. When the phone is unfolded, the image you're editing and the editing controls are shown in separate panes, so nothing sits on the fold when the phone is half open. Hold it like a book and the image is on the left with the controls on the right; hold it upright and the image is above the controls.
Better layouts on iPad and in landscape. Wide screens show the image on one side and the history, save and tools on the other, and on short screens the image no longer pushes the controls off the bottom.
The toolbar buttons now have VoiceOver labels.
