How it works
Buying a piece of the canvas
Four steps: choose your exact block, add it to your cart, pay securely, then upload your artwork. The coordinates you chose are yours for good.
The canvas
One million pixels, ten thousand blocks
It takes 10,000 collaborators to fill this canvas. Five sectors, named after the five oceans, from the Pacific Ocean frame to the Atlantic Ocean at the exact centre. Each has its own price. Hover a sector to see exactly where it runs.
Want a particular spot? On the Xpixel page you choose the exact block: pick a shape, drop in an image and move the mark to the coordinates you want before you buy anything.
Try the canvasStep by step
From a blank block to your name on the wall
Four steps, a couple of minutes.
01
Choose your exact block
Open the canvas, pick a shape and move the mark to the exact X and Y you want. Sold blocks and the ones sitting in other people's carts are greyed out, so you always see what is free. The sector under your mark sets the price.
02
Add it to your cart
One tap adds your block and holds it for you for fifteen minutes. A live countdown shows the time left. Add up to five, each with its own coordinates.
03
Pay securely
Secure card checkout. Your card details never touch Xpixel. The moment payment clears, the block is recorded in your name and your certificate is issued.
04
Upload your artwork
From your dashboard, drop in any image. You see your original at full quality and exactly how it sits in the block. A person reviews it, and then it is part of the canvas. On the physical canvas, each block is painted by hand as a recognisable interpretation of your image, not a 1:1 copy. The artists keep its main shapes, colours and feeling, while the finest details give way to brushwork.
Your dashboard
Everything you own, in one place
The moment you buy, a private dashboard opens. It is where your part of the canvas lives, always up to date.
- Your blocks and their exact coordinates: X, Y, sector and size, shown live on your own copy of the canvas with your blocks highlighted.
- Certificates you can share and verify: every block has one, at its own permanent link, with a QR that proves it.
- Artwork upload and review status: drop in your image, see the exact painted result, track approval.
- Transfers: hand a block to someone else, free, in a few taps.
- The name on your certificate: set what gets printed on the back of the painting.
Transfer
Give a block to someone. For free.
A block is yours to keep, or to give. Gift it to a friend, pass it to a collector, move it between your own accounts. No fee, no cut, and nothing lost in the handover. Buying one as a gift makes a perfect last-minute present: it reaches them by email within minutes.
You send it
Choose the block in your dashboard and enter their email. We send them a six-digit code; you can cancel any time before the last step.
They accept
They accept with the code. Nothing moves yet. The block is still yours until you say so.
You confirm
You confirm once more and the block is theirs at once, with a brand-new certificate in their name. Not finished within 24 hours? It is withdrawn and nothing changes.
Guidelines
What can go on the canvas
Every image gets an automatic safety check first, then a person looks at it before it goes on the canvas.
- Confirmation of your uploaded piece may take up to 24 hours.
- Restrictions apply to content that is harmful, abusive, or promotes cruelty. Any material that incites violence, harassment, or discrimination is strictly prohibited.
