Pxls Clones

Due to the code for Pxls being open source, several clones have been made by various users/groups. A clone is defined as a separate Pxls instance using the open source code on its own website. This page has an incomprehensive list of clones known in the Pxls community. All of the clones listed below are not currently active.

Streamer event clones

• Conner's Cool Content Canvas

• Sinder Canvas
  • An event held by the VTuber Sinder during her subathon.
• Ironmouse Canvas
  • This was an event held by the VTuber Ironmouse a week into her 2024 subathon. It was controversial because users received extra pixels if they were subscribed or donated to the charity. This completely changed the dynamic compared to many other pixel canvases, and so people deemed it "P2W." Despite backlash and some communities pulling out, the canvas maintained hundreds of users placing at any given moment and helped raise lots of money for the Immune Deficiency Foundation.
