- another world map
- no cooldown
- free to paint
wplace down? Paint here instead.
Whether wplace.live is down for everyone or only for you, the same idea is open here: a shared map of the real world in ten-meter squares, with a wallet instead of a 30 second cooldown. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for first.
- 5,000 pixels in one save
- No account for your first 50 pixels
- Nothing you paint here resets
The same map, without the wait
Zoom in anywhere on Earth and a grid of ten-meter squares appears over the street. Instead of one pixel every 30 seconds, you hold a wallet and spend from it, so a whole building goes down in one save of up to 5,000 pixels.
- A new wallet holds
- 200pixels, capped at 300 until you level
- It refills
- 1 / 20severy 10 seconds with Pixel Plus
- One save can place
- 5,000pixels, so a whole building goes down at once
- Before you sign up
- 50pixels, and they survive making an account
Painting over somebody's fresh work costs more than painting on empty ground, and your own pixels are always cheap to change. Every difference from wplace, row by row.
Down for everyone, or only for you?
Three checks, fastest first. If wplace loads after any of them, the site was fine.
- Switch to phone data
Phone data instead of wifi rules out your router, your ISP, and a captive portal in one move.
- Open a private window
It disables most extensions. Content blockers and script managers are the usual cause when one browser works and another does not.
- Change your DNS resolver
If the address will not resolve, your resolver has a stale or blocked record for it and the site itself is fine.
An outage stops the site serving. It does not reach back into what has been painted, and refreshing repeatedly does not bring it back sooner.
Start on your own street
- Find your street
Search a place or share your location, then zoom in to 15. The grid appears over the buildings, each square 10 meters across.
- Pick a color and paint
No cooldown between pixels. Stage as many as you like and commit them in one save, so a whole building goes down at once instead of over a week.
- Sign in only when you want to keep it
Your first 50 pixels go down before any of that, and they survive making an account. Google or Discord, no password.
Common questions
Is wplace down right now?
If wplace.live fails on phone data as well as wifi, and in a private window, the outage is on their side rather than yours. Place Pixels is a separate site, so it is open either way.
Why is wplace so slow or laggy?
A shared canvas slows down when many people paint at once. If it is slow on one network and fine on another, the network is the cause rather than the site.
Does wplace delete my art when it goes down?
No. An outage stops the site serving. It does not reach back into what has been painted, and placed pixels come back with the site.
Can I move my wplace art to Place Pixels?
No. Separate sites, separate pixels, no shared account. Repainting it here is one save rather than a week of cooldowns, since a batch can carry 5,000 pixels.
Is Place Pixels free?
Yes. Pixel Plus refills your wallet every 10 seconds instead of 20 and raises capacity, and nothing you can buy reaches the standings.
