Your canvas, your rules
Pick the size, up to 32 colours with names, a background, the cooldown between pixels, an optional pixel cap per member, who may paint and when it opens and closes.
r/place for Discord: a shared pixel canvas your whole server paints together
Pixel Canvas brings r/place to your server. Staff create a canvas with its own size, palette, cooldown and opening hours. Members place one pixel at a time with /canvas place, zoom around the picture with /canvas view, and a live panel in the channel shows the artwork growing. When it ends, BotGG posts the final image, an animated GIF timelapse and the top painters.

What you get
Zoom and explore
/canvas view shows any part of the canvas with rulers and a grid, with buttons to pan and zoom from 1× to 16×. Colour autocomplete shows a swatch, number, name and hex.
Live panel and timelapse
A panel in the channel refreshes with the whole image, painters, pixels and % painted. Snapshots build a timelapse in the console and a GIF the bot posts at the end.
Undo vandalism
Roll back one member’s pixels, or everything in an area since a time, without losing history. Clear an area, and ban a painter from the canvas with one command.
Who painted what
Inspect any pixel in the console to see its last writes. /canvas me and /canvas top show pixels, rank and cooldown for members.
Events and Flows
Announce the opening with a role ping, and use Flows to react to the start, every Nth pixel, rollbacks and the end, or to paint and control the canvas.
How it works
Create a canvas
Open https://console.botgg.app, choose your server and turn on Pixel Canvas in the Engagement section. Create a canvas with a size preset, a palette, a cooldown, a channel and optional start and end times.
Members paint
Members run
/canvas place x y color: x counts from the left, y from the top. The reply shows a zoomed image around the new pixel and when they can place the next one.Watch it live
The live view in the console refreshes every few seconds, with zoom, a cursor read-out, pixel history and area tools for rollbacks and clears.
Celebrate the result
At the end time the bot posts the final picture, the GIF timelapse and the top 10 painters. The console keeps the timelapse player and its frames.
Built for busy servers and fair play
Every placement checks the cooldown, bans and caps in one safe step, so two members painting at the same moment never break the picture. Rollbacks never delete history: they restore what was there before, and a rollback can itself be undone. No coins are paid for pixels, so the canvas is pure creativity.
Free servers can run 1 canvas at a time with sides of up to 100 pixels. Pro allows 3 canvases at a time with sides of up to 256 pixels.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make r/place on Discord?
Turn on Pixel Canvas in the BotGG console, create a canvas with a size, palette and cooldown, and pick its channel. Members start painting with /canvas place as soon as it opens.
How big can a canvas be?
Each side can be up to 100 pixels on the Free plan and up to 256 pixels on Pro. The size is fixed after you create the canvas.
What if someone griefs the canvas?
Staff can roll back a member’s pixels with /canvas rollback, restore an area to an earlier time in the console, clear an area and ban the painter from the canvas.
Can I get a timelapse of the canvas?
Yes. BotGG takes snapshots while the canvas is open. The console plays them as a timelapse, and the bot posts an animated GIF when the canvas ends.
Can I change the colours later?
You can recolour, rename and add colours up to 32, but not remove them, so pixels already painted keep their colour.
