🤔 Common Pixel Size Questions
Why only 30 pixels to start?
This prevents spam and ensures thoughtful pixel placement. Your pool grows over time as you engage more with the platform.
Can I speed up regeneration?
No, the 30-second rule is fixed for fairness. However, your maximum pool capacity increases with activity.
What if I run out of pixels?
Simply wait! You'll get +1 pixel every 30 seconds. Use this time to plan your next moves strategically.
Best size for beginners?
Start with 32×32 (8.5 hours) - large enough for recognizable art, small enough to complete in a day.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wplace
Everything you need to know about using our Wplace pixel art converter and the wplace.live platform
✅ Is Wplace permanent? Will it shut down like r/place?
YES! Wplace is completely permanent. Unlike Reddit's r/place which shut down permanently in 2023 after running only temporary events, Wplace is built to last forever. Your pixel art remains on the world map indefinitely with no reset periods or shutdowns.
🎯 How does the Wplace pixel system work? Why only 30 pixels?
You start with 30 pixels and regenerate +1 pixel every 30 seconds automatically. This prevents spam while allowing continuous creation. Your maximum pool grows over time as you use the platform more. The 30-second rule ensures fair access for everyone.
What's the difference between Wplace and r/place?
While r/place was a temporary Reddit experiment on a blank canvas that permanently shut down in 2023, Wplace is permanent and overlaid on the world map. Wplace has over 4 trillion pixels, uses a specific 64-color palette, and allows continuous collaboration without time limits. It's more like a persistent global art canvas.
How much does it cost to use Wplace?
Wplace has 32 free colors you can use at no cost, and 32 premium colors that cost $0.40 each per pixel placed. Our tool shows you real-time cost calculations and lets you optimize by using only free colors or strategically selecting premium ones. You can create amazing pixel art using only free colors!
📐 What pixel size should I choose for my image?
Start with 32×32 (8.5 hours) for beginners - perfect balance of detail and time. Use 16×16 for simple logos, 64×64 for detailed art, or 96×96+ for complex projects. Remember: larger sizes require exponentially more time due to the 30-second pixel placement rule.
What image size works best for Wplace pixel art?
We recommend images under 500x500 pixels for optimal results. Smaller images (64x64 to 256x256) work great for logos and icons. Remember, each pixel takes 30 seconds to place on Wplace, so a 100x100 pixel image would take about 83 hours of continuous placing!

Yes! Our Wplace pixel art converter is completely free to use. You can upload images, convert them, and export coordinates at no cost. The only costs are on wplace.live itself for premium colors ($0.40 per pixel), but you can create amazing art using only the 32 free colors.
