Photon FAQ

How do I install Photon?

Photon is the first iZotope product to install via the Boris FX Hub, the future installation tool for all iZotope products. Your purchase email will give you all the instructions you need.

Does Photon upload my audio to the cloud?

No. Everything is processed locally on your machine. Your files never leave your device, so there are no uploads, no cutoffs, and no interruptions.

Is Photon part of the RX family?

No. Photon is a separate product line with its own team and release cadence, built around handling audio problems for you – including pulling dialogue, music, effects, speakers, and instruments out of a finished file. Photon is a different tool for a different mindset – quick fixes through cutting-edge models running locally on your GPU, not surgical puzzle solving.
