when was wplace created

Wplace (the collaborative pixel art website at wplace.live) was created and launched on 21 July 2025.

Quick Scoop: When was Wplace created?

• Launch date of the site: 21 July 2025.

• It was built as a world-map version of Reddit’s r/place, letting users place pixels collaboratively on a global canvas.

• The creator, Brazilian developer Murilo Matsubara, reportedly spent about three months developing it before launch.

A related detail that sometimes confuses people: the subreddit r/WplaceLive was created earlier, on 22 June 2025, to discuss the project, but the actual Wplace website itself went live on 21 July 2025.

In forum discussions and news coverage through late 2025, Wplace is consistently described as having launched on July 21, 2025, and rapidly becoming a viral pixel-art “paint the world” platform.

TL;DR: Wplace was created and launched on 21 July 2025; community spaces like the subreddit formed slightly earlier that summer to support it.
