One library, two ways to publish

Inside your app—or your content.

Use the same consistent exercise animations in a product UI or drop them over your own footage. The transparent master is built for both.

Fitness apps

Ship clear exercise demos inside workout flows, exercise details and coaching products—on any UI background.

Videos & social content

Layer the clips over Reels, Shorts, YouTube videos, course slides and posts without filming every variation yourself.

Muscle overlay kits

Turn workout volume into a muscle heatmap.

The full set covers 37 muscle areas per character (18 front + 19 back), with transparent layers for independent left/right highlights. Control colour and intensity in your UI.

Transparent, not boxed in

Every clip loops on a transparent background, so it sits on your dark theme, your brand colour, or a card — no white rectangle to hide.

WebP, not GIF

Animated WebP keeps a real alpha channel and full colour at a fraction of the file size. GIF gives you neither — it dithers to 256 colours and fringes the edges. You can still export GIF or MP4 from it whenever you need one: the transparent master converts to any background, not the other way round.

Consistent by construction

One faceless figure, one material, one camera. The clips match each other and match the stills, because they come from the same pipeline.

What's in the animation library

FAQ

Are there free exercise animations I can download?

Yes. The free RepDB preview bundle is a hand-picked sample from the paid library: every exercise in it comes with a full-quality looping animation for the male and female character, matching stills, and exercise data in English, German, Spanish and French. No signup, no watermark. It is licensed CC BY-NC 4.0 — fine for evaluation and non-commercial projects; a paid app or monetized content needs Standard.

Are the workout animations loopable?

Yes. Every clip is a seamless loop — the last frame runs straight back into the first — and the WebP file is set to repeat forever, so a plain <img> tag plays it continuously with no player or loop code. 544 of the 701 exercises have a loop; the rest are static holds such as planks, which ship as stills because there is nothing to repeat.

Can I use exercise animations in a home workout app?

Yes. The catalog covers no-equipment moves — push-ups, bodyweight squats, burpees, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, glute bridges — plus dumbbell, kettlebell and resistance-band exercises for home setups. Every record carries an equipment field, so the app can filter to what a user owns. Standard ($499, one-time) includes the commercial license for a paid app, with no revenue cap.

Are there yoga and Pilates animations?

Yes, within a strength-first catalog. Pilates mat exercises such as the roll-down, saw and spine twist, and flowing yoga moves like cat-cow and downward dog to upward dog, loop as animations. Held yoga poses — warrior, tree, downward dog — ship as stills, because a held pose has no movement to repeat. Check the full exercise list before you buy.

Do the exercise animations have a transparent background?

Yes. Every clip is animated WebP with a real alpha channel, so the same file sits on a light or dark theme, a brand colour, a gradient or a card — no white box to hide, and nothing to re-export when the design changes. If your app only ever uses one background, composite it and export a smaller MP4 from the same master.

What format are the exercise animations?

Looping WebP with a transparent background, 960px square, one file per animated exercise at images/animations/<slug>.webp. Modern browsers render it directly with an <img> tag. In native apps, decoding depends on the image component: our React Native example uses expo-image, while the Flutter example loads WebP from the app bundle. No video player is required.

Can I get the exercise animations as GIF or MP4?

Yes — the library ships transparent WebP, and you convert it to GIF or MP4 over any background you choose, instead of being stuck with one that was baked in. Note that FFmpeg cannot read these clips directly (it fails with "image data not found" on frames stored as blended sub-rectangles), so dump the frames with the libwebp anim_dump tool first, then encode the PNG sequence: overlay it on a colour source for MP4, or run it through palettegen/paletteuse for GIF. It is a build step you can run over the whole library, and the transparent WebP stays the source you regenerate from when the UI changes.

Should I use WebP or MP4 for exercise animations in my app?

Keep the transparent WebP as the theme-independent master. Use it directly when backgrounds or themes can change. If your app has one fixed background, composite that background and export an MP4: it is usually much smaller and gives you video controls. Regenerate it from the WebP whenever the UI changes.

How many exercises are animated?

All 544 exercises that involve movement. The other 157 are isometric holds or static poses — planks, hangs, and static stretches — so they intentionally ship as stills because there is no movement to animate. Each record carries an animation flag so you can branch on it in code instead of guessing.

How large are the exercise animation files?

In a measured 200-clip sample, white-background H.264 MP4s averaged about 175 KB at 960 × 960 and 71 KB at 512 × 512. White-background animated WebP averaged 1.12 MB and 545 KB, respectively. Exact sizes vary with clip length and motion. MP4 is smallest with a fixed background; use transparent WebP when you need alpha.

Are these 3D exercise animations?

No. They are rendered 2D clips in a matte-clay style — they read as dimensional, but you are getting flat image files, not models or rigs. If you need something you can pose or re-render yourself, this is not that.

Can I use the animations commercially, in apps and videos?

Yes, with Standard ($499, one-time) — the tier that includes the animations. It comes with a commercial license with no revenue cap for paid apps, and the Media Use Addendum for videos, Reels, Shorts, courses and posts published under your own brand. Stills has the full catalog as images, without animations.
