Many terms, references, and in-jokes have been made by the pxls.space community over its lifespan.

Template

A template is an image displayed on top of the canvas to make it easier for a user to create an art piece.

Information on how to create a template can be found here.

Background

A background is often used an infill between art pieces, but may sometimes have its own area on a canvas. The most common type of background is a lattice.

Lattice

A lattice is a type of background characterized by repeating patterns.

  • Green Lattice on canvas 58, with an art piece to expand outwards from.

Fiddle Abuse

Often used to refer to "fiddled" projects that have excessive/bad dithering and/or anti-aliasing. The term originates from the now-deprecated pxlsFiddle, which was originally used as a tool for such conversions.

The term "defiddling" is the act of manually cleaning up an art piece using a photo editing software by removing any out of place pixels generated by whatever method was used to either downscale the image, or convert it to the Pxls palette.

  • An example of a picture of someone that had its colors automatically converted to Pxls' limited palette by a program causing it to lose most of its detail.

Virgin Abuse

WIP

Ego

An ego is a number built on the canvas by a user displaying the amount of all-time pixels they have placed. These can vary in size, but tend to be small due to an ego being a solo project.

  • MonsterChicken's Ego, with the user's name to denote who's ego it is.

  • dankgod's (now VZ) ego, the 0.XXm is sometimes used a stylistic choice to put emphasis on how close a user is to 1 million pixels.

  • SubaruSenpai's Ego, with proximity to their art to denote who's ego it is.
