}}[https://ourworldofpixels.com Our World of Pixels] (OWOP) is a [[Related Sites|sister website]] of OWOT where users place pixels on an infinite canvas. Ever since its creation in 2016, OWOP has been hosted by [[InfraRaven]] on the same server as OWOT. The site was managed by [[Eldit]] along with an inconsistently active team of admins, moderators and developers. Eldit is also the co-owner of [[Uvias]]: the login system for both OWOT and OWOP. In December 2025, ownership of the site was passed from Eldit to [[FP]], who also created OWOT.

OWOP's canvas is largely art-centric, with a diverse array of pixel art (both original and pasted) blanketing the Mainpage. The site is overseen by a group of moderators whose roles include protecting art and banning spammers. The aforementioned mods are widely scrutinized for supposedly authoritarian behavior, with one user recounting how they were banned for speaking at the same time as a moderator; among many other similar cases.

Like OWOT, OWOP has a ~~(formerly) active~~ Discord server which hosts much of the community's culture. There is also an in-site chat.

~~The community seems to be on a sharp decline as of 2025~~, ~~at least on the Discord end. At the very least it was more active back in 2022~~.

Several OWOT users arrived from OWOP, like [[Bzuki]] and [[Jamel]].

=== Creation ===

On October 27th, 2016, OWOP was released by [[Eldit]] as a school project. It was initially located at cursors.me/pixels, but was redirected to yourworldofpixels.com on November 12th — after [[InfraRaven]] was contacted about the project — and then to ourworldofpixels.com by November 17th <ref>https://2s4.me/public/owop_screenshots/</ref>. It was also on the 17th that the site's existence was first advertised to the public.<gallery>

* OWOP is often described as an infinite version of r/place, despite being created in 2016, one year before r/place.

* Lapis, a prominent OWOP user, is also an active scripter in the Discord server for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiDOKZhMXk4 ''Slope''], a popular Flash game whose world record used to be held by a [[YWOT]] user named Kylaxial.

* There's a Minecraft server that's connected to OWOP. All<sup>???</sup> edits from the Mainpage are mirrored to the server.
