Stuntsby is an online platform and community dedicated to showcasing stunt performances. It serves as a hub where performers, production teams, trainers, and fans can upload and discuss videos across disciplines such as parkour, free running, action choreography, martial arts, automotive stunts, and stunt rigging.

The site provides hosting for user-generated video content, tagging and categorization by stunt type, difficulty, risk level, and location. It includes features for collaboration (projects, messages), safety resources, and educational content like how-to guides and training footage. It offers licensing options for filmmakers and a revenue-sharing model for creators.

Origin and development: The concept emerged in the early 2010s as stunt performers sought a centralized space to share techniques and safety practices. It was designed to emphasize responsible practice, with mandatory safety guidelines, and to promote professional standards within the community.

Impact and reception: Stuntsby has been used by independent performers to gain visibility and connect with clients. Critics note potential risks when high-risk stunts are uploaded without proper supervision, and the platform maintains moderation policies, age restrictions for certain content, and content warnings.
