About Refsee



Refsee is an AI-powered video reference search and creative workspace built for filmmakers, directors, designers, creative agencies, and production teams. It helps users discover visual references from advertisements, films, music videos, and motion-design content by searching for scenes based on concepts such as objects, colors, composition, actions, styles, and moods.

Beyond video search, Refsee provides AI creative tools that allow users to turn visual references into original content. Users can generate images, create AI videos, build AI avatars, edit visuals, and develop creative concepts from existing references. The platform also includes moodboards, public sharing, GIF creation, search filters, likes, and creator profiles to organize and present visual ideas.
