The image is processed on Nero’s secured EU-based Cloud GPUs.Usually 10× faster than GTX1080 and 100× faster than CPU.
Works on any PC, even without a dedicated GPU.
Requires Nero Credits per process (2 credits per image).
Available in the Pro version.
💡 Tip: Cloud mode is ideal for large batches or high-resolution projects where speed is important.
