Canvas Stats has been updated for 2026!
The site was rewritten to be more efficient and now has a ton more features such as:
- better search
- Advanced search (see who placed pixels at a coordinate or within an area of the canvsa)
- View stats for instances
- More user stats including graphs for users
The biggest feature is Achievements. If you go to your profile on the site and click the "Claim the profile" button, it will unlock any achievements you have earned the 4 years that Canvas has taken place. More achievements will be added as they are suggested. It is guaranteed that everyone will get at least 1.
If you have any ideas for new features for the site, let me know. Currently working on
- more advanced search options
- more options for selecting what to render on the canvas
- list of all achievements and how many users have unlocked each achievement

This year, I placed more pixels than in all three years before that combined (1,177 vs 705)! A lot of those pixels were in defence of a drawing, but I didn't think it was going to be that much. It's still only 8.6% of the pixels my home instance placed (13,583), but that's not surprising considering two others from that instance made the top 10 this year. Very cool stats, thanks for compiling them every year!
