MODERATORS
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 was my first Canvas event, I didn't even know there'd be achievements. Finding that I got an achievement for "Nice Coordinate" (Placed a pixel on a coordinate containing 69) gave me a chuckle.
I'm also happy I made it in the top 100 contributors, which I'm only mentioning here because I have nowhere and no one else to brag about it to. I may be a loner who spends their weekends on their computer, but working on a cool collaborative project like this was a wonderful change of pace.
