What You'll Learn
Using third-party software to generate images
While YoWorld offers whiteboards and paintboards that allow players to draw or write on them, players have also used third-party software to generate images for their paintboards. This software enables the automatic generation of images on the paintboard using a wider range of colours than those available in the game. This has resulted in the creation of paintboards with images that have not been hand-drawn, and some players even sell these customised whiteboards to other players.
It is important to note that using third-party services is considered a violation of YoWorld's Terms of Service. However, Big Viking Games, the developers of YoWorld, have generally allowed this practice as long as the content being added is appropriate and not used for exploits or to abuse other players.
One example of third-party software for image generation is Canva, an online Text-to-Image application. Canva offers various styles, ratios, and photo editing tools to customise images. It also provides unique graphics, icons, stickers, and illustrations that match your desired style or brand. Another tool mentioned in the YoWorld forums is Fiddler, which is used to load images onto the paintboard.
When using third-party image generation software, it is essential to be mindful of any copyright or trademark infringements. For example, certain public figures have legal rights over their image, and creating AI-generated images of them without permission may be prohibited. Similarly, recognisable characters or brands could be protected by copyright or trademarks.

Uploading images onto the paintboard
Paintboards were released as an upgraded version of whiteboards in YoWorld on June 30, 2015. They feature borderless edges, more tools, and an unlimited selection of colours, including transparency.
To upload images onto your paintboard, you can use third-party software or the browser extension YoWorld Art. Using third-party services is technically a violation of YoWorld’s Terms of Service, but Big Viking Games have chosen to let it slide as long as the content is appropriate and not used to exploit or abuse other players.
If you choose to use third-party software, you can automatically generate images on your paintboard using more colours than are available in the game.
YoWorld Art is a browser extension that enables you to create custom paintboard art. It is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, and ChromeOS and provides a simple and user-friendly interface. However, some users have reported that it has stopped working recently due to game/server updates. To use YoWorld Art, you need to grant it sensitive permissions, including access to all websites, which poses a significant security risk.
- Install the YoWorld Art extension.
- Follow the setup instructions carefully to avoid errors.
- Create your artwork or image outside of YoWorld. Ensure that it is in a JPEG format and less than 35kb in size.
- Open your paintboard in YoWorld and click "Enable Rules".
- Go back to your artwork and copy or upload it to your paintboard.
- Go back to YoWorld and open your paintboard again. Your image should now be loaded onto it.
- Uncheck the "Enable Rules" box and close the paintboard.
- Reopen your paintboard, and now others should be able to see your image!

Checking the Enable Rules box
To put things on your paintboard in YoWorld, you will need to follow a few steps. Firstly, it is important to note that using third-party services to edit your paintboard is technically a violation of YoWorld's Terms of Service. However, Big Viking Games has chosen to allow it as long as the content is appropriate and not used to exploit or abuse other players.
Now, to the step-by-step process. You can use a browser extension called YoWorld Art, which is available on Windows, Mac, Linux, or ChromeOS, to create your own paintboard art. This extension simplifies the process of uploading and managing artwork within the game. After you have pasted the link to your artwork in the extension, click "Enable Redirect" and then go to your paintboard in the game. At this point, it is crucial that your game paintboard is set to transparent. Check the "Enable Rules" box and nothing else, and then open your paintboard in the game. Your image should now be loaded onto the paintboard.
Once you see that the image has been successfully added, go back to the extension settings and uncheck the "Enable Rules" box. Close the extension and then reopen your paintboard in the game. Close it again, and now your paintboard with the added image will be visible to others.
Congratulations, you have successfully added your own image to a paintboard in YoWorld!
