What Is This

This is an interactive map and leaderboard for wplace.live, a collaborative pixel-art canvas covering the whole world. The globe is divided into a 512×512 grid of regions; each region's total painted pixels are ranked here, rolled up to country level, and plotted on the map as a colour-coded heatmap.

Rankings are built from periodic snapshots rather than live data, so what you see reflects the most recent (or selected) snapshot date, not the current live canvas. Use the timeline slider at the bottom of the map to compare snapshots across dates.

Accuracy & Limitations

Note: the source data caps each region at its top 50 individual painters — full totals are only guaranteed for a country's own top 50 regions. Any region outside its country's top 50 is undercounted, so country totals skew low. For example, the United States shows roughly 6.5 billion pixels here versus an actual total closer to 8 billion. Treat all figures as a lower bound, not an exact count.

How To Use

1Click any cell on the map — the hit area scales with zoom, so corners still register when you're zoomed in close.
2Search by name, Region ID, or country name, or sort by rank / Region ID using the chips above the list.
3Click a row (or its locate button) to fly there and highlight it in the list — clicking the map does the same in reverse. The second button opens that region directly on wplace.live.
4Drag the sidebar's right edge to resize it, or hit the ◀ button in the header to collapse it entirely.
5The sun/moon button in the sidebar header switches between light and dark mode. Your choice is remembered on this device.
6The Stats tab breaks down the pixel distribution — trimmed mean, deviation, and percentile spread across all regions.
7Map color follows a log scale — purple/blue is low pixel density, pink/red is high (see the legend, bottom-right).
8Use the timeline slider at the bottom of the map to compare snapshots across different dates. Use ← / → arrow keys to step between dates, or drag the slider. Each CSV is cached after the first load so switching is instant.
9The grid button (top-left of the map) hides the base map and place labels, leaving just the coloured region squares.
10The eye button below it hides just the colour heatmap, keeping the base map and any country highlight — handy for seeing exactly which regions a country spans without the pixel-count colouring in the way.
11Selecting a region draws a red box around it on the map. Clicking a country in the Countries view washes all of that country's regions in white and fits the map to show them.
12Click the trend icon on a region's row (or "Pixel history" in its map popup) to see how that region's pixel count has changed across every available snapshot, in a panel on the right. It has to download any snapshot dates not already cached, so the first time you open it for a fresh session it may take a moment.
13The Δ button switches the map's heatmap from total pixels (which barely changes once a region fills in) to change since the previous snapshot — useful for spotting where activity is happening right now rather than where it happened historically. It needs the prior snapshot downloaded to compare against, so switching modes may take a moment on a fresh session, and it shows nothing on the very first available snapshot (there's nothing earlier to compare it to).
14Both lists have a "Change" sort option alongside Pixels, ranking regions or countries by growth since the previous snapshot instead of their all-time total — the same comparison data the Δ heatmap uses, so switching between the two doesn't re-download anything twice.
15The Countries list also has an "Avg/Region" sort — total pixels divided by that country's own region count, ranking which countries paint their regions most intensely on average rather than which have the highest raw total (which a country can lead just by having more regions). It's an average pixel count, not a bounded occupation percentage, since the actual maximum pixel capacity per region isn't part of this data.
