About

Wplace is a website inspired by Reddit's /r/Place subreddit and community game that allows users to draw artwork pixel-by-pixel anywhere on a map of the world. The website, hosted at Wplace.live and developed by Murilo Matsubara, was launched on July 21st, 2025, and boasts over 4 trillion pixels worth of space in its YouTube trailer. The site also features a leaderboard that shows which country and region host the most pixels, which players have placed the most pixels and who is in an alliance. The site was popularized in the days following its release, particularly in Brazil, inspiring users to share their pixel art and others' pixel art on social media. In early August 2025, drawings of Eefo became popular on Wplace.

History

On July 21st, 2025, the Wplace YouTube[1] channel posted a trailer for Wplace.live,[2] garnering over 5,000 views in two weeks. The site appears to be inspired by Reddit's /r/Place subreddit, a subreddit that is occasionally launched that allows participants to place pixels on a growing canvas to create art and battle for real estate on the canvas.

The premise of Wplace is very similar to /r/Place, however, instead of a canvas, participants can draw anywhere on a world map. A leaderboard keeps track of which country has the most pixels and who has placed the most pixels. Additionally, the website does not appear to have an expiration or reset date. The website was developed by Murilo Matsubara.[3]



Online Presence

The /r/WplaceLive[4] subreddit was launched to share artwork on Wplace and discuss the website, garnering over 4,100 members by August 2025.

On August 1st, 2025, Redditor u/OsPuto posted a screenshot to /r/WplaceLive[5] of pixel art drawn in São Paulo, Brazil, showing a detailed image of a leopard biting an alligator, garnering over 885 upvotes in five days.

I was scrolling close to my town, and literally less than 40 miles away, someone made Spamton. It startled me so hard because I live in an extremely rural area," garnering over 4,400 likes in under a day.
