Wplace Palette Converter: Image → Map Colors
Wplace map only accepts its own paint colors. A photo or logo is useless as a guide until every pixel is snapped to that set. Match the image, export a PNG, upload it as a reference overlay, then paint by hand on wplace.live.
Xprite's Image to Pixel Art tool does the match in your browser with the built-in Wplace map palette. Files stay on your device. Nothing uploads. Xprite is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Wplace / wplace.live. This page is an unofficial guide.
- Deep link with the palette already selected: Wplace map palette in Pixelate.
- Overlay upload: official Overlays guide on wplace.live.
- After you export: paint by hand. Xprite does not auto-paint and does not export
.wplace.
What “Wplace palette converter” means here
Open an image in Xprite Pixelate, snap the pixels to the Wplace map colors on your device, and download a PNG you can use as a reference overlay.
That is not:
- A bot or userscript that paints the map for you
- Auto-paint or any “Studio / alliance” pipeline
- An official Wplace product, partner tool, or
.wplaceexporter - A promise that wplace.live will keep the same colors forever
The PNG is for positioning and hand painting. It is not an official template pipeline.
Convert an image to Wplace map colors
- Open Image to Pixel Art with the Wplace map palette. Nothing to install. PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
- Choose Convert image and drop or open your file. Processing stays on your device.
- Confirm the palette is Wplace map (the deep link selects it). Change size or other convert settings if you need to.
- Preview, then Export a PNG.
- On wplace.live, upload that PNG as an overlay per the official Overlays guide, place it, and paint the map by hand.
Optional: Edit more opens the result in the Xprite editor for cleanup before you export again.
Colors and hex (open the preset)
The Wplace map preset has 63 paint colors (Transparent from the live picker is left out). Provenance lives in the repo: LICENSES/wplace-map-palette.txt, ATTRIBUTION.md, and the GPL at packages/palette-assets/wplace/wplace-map.gpl (unofficial capture dated 2026-10-25; those files have the source URL and method).
Colors may drift when wplace.live updates its client. Open the tool and read the live preset instead of republishing a full hex table here. This is not an official palette dump.
Honest limits
- Unofficial and unaffiliated: Xprite is not endorsed by or partnered with Wplace / wplace.live. No Wplace logos and no “official / powered by” claims on this page.
- The export is a PNG reference overlay you upload yourself. It is not a guaranteed match to every tile, and it is not a permanent color list.
- No auto-paint, no
.wplaceexport, and no userscripts in Xprite for painting the map. - Overlay upload and hand-paint rules come from wplace.live. Follow their Overlays guide.
