Wplace.info is a comprehensive resource hub offering four integrated tools — Wplace Professor browser extension, Image-to-Pixel Converter, Color Palette Exporter, and Address Search — to enhance the collaborative pixel art experience on Wplace.live. It provides an ecosystem of tools, guides, tips, and a community showcase for users of all skill levels.
What is Wplace.info?
Wplace.info is a free, web-based platform that aggregates everything needed for pixel art on Wplace.live. It features four core tools: a browser extension for overlay guides and navigation, an image-to-pixel converter that matches Wplace's official color palette, a color palette exporter supporting JSON/CSV/GPL formats, and an address search tool using OpenStreetMap API to find precise coordinates on the world map. The site also offers educational content, community forums, and a droplet economy guide. It is maintained by the Wplace community (no single company is named on the page).
Key Features
- Wplace Professor Browser Extension — Adds adjustable transparent overlays, saved coordinates, zoom controls, and social sharing to Chrome, Edge, and other major browsers for guiding pixel placement on the live canvas.
- Image-to-Pixel Converter — Converts uploaded images (any format) to Wplace.live-compatible pixel art with perfect color matching to the official palette; supports adjustable pixel size (default 8px), grayscale, multiple palette options (free and paid colors), and instant PNG download with real-time preview.
- Wplace Color Palette Exporter — Exports the complete Wplace.live color set (90+ colors, both free and paid) in JSON, CSV, or GPL formats; allows selecting individual colors or groups (free, paid) and importing custom palettes from JSON files.
- Wplace Address Search — Finds any location (address, city, landmark) on the Wplace map using the Nominatim API, returning precise coordinates and zoom level; generates a direct link to Wplace.live with pre-filled coordinates for instant navigation.
- Community Resources — Offers step-by-step tutorials, video demonstrations, a discussion forum, technique workshops, and mentorship programs for all skill levels.
Who is it for?
- Pixel artists — use the Image-to-Pixel Converter to turn reference photos into pixel art guides, and the Wplace Professor extension to overlay those guides while painting on the canvas.
- Developers and designers — use the Color Palette Exporter to transfer Wplace color schemes into design tools (e.g., Photoshop, Aseprite) for offline planning of murals.
- Wplace community members — use the Address Search to find specific map coordinates for collaborative projects, and access the Reddit community for bug reports and feature requests.
- Beginners — follow the step-by-step tutorials and video guides to learn painting, droplet earning, and navigation fundamentals.
What can you do with Wplace.info?
- Plan large-scale murals: Use the Image-to-Pixel Converter to test pixelation and color matching offline, then use Wplace Professor overlays to replicate the design on the live canvas.
- Collaborate across locations: Use Address Search to generate shareable links for specific spots on the world map, enabling team members to find the exact painting area quickly.
- Manage color assets: Export the full free/paid palette for use in external editors, or import custom palettes for localized color testing.
- Speed up painting: Install the Wplace Professor extension to enable overlay guides and apply the hold-SPACE trick for faster pixel placement.
How does Wplace.info work?
The four tools are accessed from the Wplace.info homepage. The Image-to-Pixel Converter: upload an image, adjust pixel size and color options, preview the result, and download a PNG. The Color Palette Exporter: select colors (all, free, paid), choose format (JSON/CSV/GPL), and download. The Address Search: type an address, review the returned coordinates and zoom, click to open Wplace.live at that location. The Wplace Professor extension: install from the Chrome Web Store (or similar), then activate overlay features on the Wplace.live canvas.
Pricing
All tools on Wplace.info are free to use. Some Wplace.live colors require payment in-game (2000 droplets per color to unlock, or purchase droplets via the in-app store). The platform itself has no paid tiers.
