Refocused vs TensorPix

Refocused is desktop software for enhancing and restoring video with AI models that process footage on the user's machine. Its seven model families cover super-resolution, diffusion restoration, interpolation, denoising, depth estimation, and segmentation. The Refocus model provides motion-aware 4× super-resolution, and a flagship workflow chains it with Regenerate-Q. In the Refine workspace, users can apply tracked object masks, select by depth threshold, reprocess specific regions, and create synthetic depth-of-field focus. Compare offers synchronized A/B playback and up to 8× zoom for inspecting frames. Output can reach 8K and includes 10-bit ProRes, HDR, and image sequences; listed formats include H.265/H.264, ProRes, VP9, AV1, PNG, JPEG, and TIFF. Processing works offline after installation and activation, though license validation and model updates periodically need internet access. A free trial includes full processing and all models, with watermarked output. The Full license is $64.99 as a one-time purchase and includes unlimited local processing, up to five devices, and one year of updates.

TensorPix is an online service for enhancing and upscaling video and image quality with AI. Its Video Quality Enhancer can upscale video to 4K, with cloud processing; the stated maximum upscale factor is 4×. Other tools include a real estate video maker, social video creator, compressor, AI image generator, 4K AI video generator, and enhancement API. The real estate workflow converts listing photos into videos in 10 minutes. Supported inputs include MP4, MOV, AVI, MXF, and MKV containers, with codecs such as H264, H265, Apple ProRes, DNxHD, VP9, and AV1. Enhanced video output uses H264 or H265 in MOV, MP4, or MKV. The REST API integrates products into apps and professional editing tools, but API access requires a subscription plan. TensorPix says user data is not used to train its AI, that it claims no copyright over uploaded or enhanced media, and that files are deleted when users delete them. The free plan is free; paid plans start with Standard at $5.50 a month, billed annually.
