Four line grids at even angles are cut into squares and thin rhombs, giving an eight-fold tiling that never repeats however far it runs.

Penrose Tiling Background – Aperiodic Rhombus Pattern Loop
About Penrose Tiling
Thin and thick rhombs subdivide at the golden ratio into a pattern that never repeats, then breathe in slow waves across the tiling.

Frequently asked
What is the Penrose Tiling animation?
Thin and thick rhombs subdivide at the golden ratio into a pattern that never repeats, then breathe in slow waves across the tiling. It belongs to the Tessellation Backgrounds category on velements, where you edit it in the browser and download it as a finished video file.
What can you customize in Penrose Tiling?
Every control in the editor, grouped the same way there. Style: background, primary, secondary, accent and thickness. Layout: aspect ratio. Motion: duration, density, variation and speed. Each change appears in the live preview straight away, and editing is free.
How long is Penrose Tiling?
Penrose Tiling runs 15 seconds by default, and you can set any length up to 60 seconds before you export. It loops seamlessly, so you can repeat it on your timeline for as long as the shot needs.
Can you download Penrose Tiling with a transparent background?
Yes. Set the background to Transparent, then export a PNG sequence for Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or Figma: import the first frame as an image sequence and it drops onto a track above your footage with a straight alpha channel. Export WebM with a VP9 alpha channel for the web and for CapCut. MP4 has no alpha channel, so it keeps a solid color or image behind the animation.
Can you use Penrose Tiling in commercial projects?
Yes. Each download comes with a perpetual commercial license in your name for client work, ads and products, and you may sell the edited clip on stock footage sites. Reselling the preset itself as an editable template is not allowed.
