How Blue Marble Works
Blue Marble transforms your pixel art creation process by overlaying your design template directly onto the wplace.live canvas. Here's everything you need to know about how this powerful userscript works.
Blue Marble is a sophisticated userscript designed specifically for wplace.live. Its primary purpose is to allow you to take any image and layer it onto the canvas as a transparent overlay, enabling you to trace your pixel art with perfect precision.
Instead of constantly switching between tabs or monitors to reference your design, Blue Marble brings your template directly to the canvas, making pixel art creation effortless and accurate.

Upload Your Template
Start by uploading a PNG or WEBP image that represents your desired pixel art design. Blue Marble will display your template at the exact same size as your original image.
Pro Tip: For best results, convert your template to match the Wplace color palette before uploading. This ensures accurate color representation on the overlay.
