CANONICAL PROJECT FACTS
One billion pixels. One finite public canvas.
The Billion Pixel Homepage is a collaborative internet-art project where people, brands and communities claim exact coordinates, create pixel artwork and leave a permanent public page behind.
What is The Billion Pixel Homepage?
A public internet artwork and finite digital billboard made from exactly 1,000,000,000 colorable pixels arranged on a 40,000 by 25,000 canvas.
How are pixels sold?
Buyers can choose a bundle or enter a custom whole-pixel amount. The minimum is 2,000 pixels. Space is allocated in connected 20 by 20 ownership plots containing 400 independently colorable pixels each, so a custom amount that is not divisible by 400 is rounded up to the next complete plot.
How much do pixels cost?
The first 500,000,000 verified paid pixels are allocated at $1 per plot, equal to $0.0025 per pixel. Later plots cost $2, equal to $0.005 per pixel. An order crossing the threshold is split at the exact boundary.
What can buyers publish?
Ads, logos, political expression, parody, profanity, strange art and unpopular opinions are allowed. The platform does not curate for taste. Only a narrow legal and safety boundary applies.
What does ownership mean?
A purchase grants a digital placement and editing license for specific coordinates. It does not transfer copyright in the overall canvas or create an investment, token or security.
How is a sale verified?
A reservation does not count as sold. Publication and the paid counter update only after the server verifies a signed payment event from Stripe.
Can artwork link to another website?
Yes. Buyers may attach a public website link. User-submitted links are marked as user-generated and do not receive an editorial endorsement.
Does every artwork get its own page?
Yes. Each verified purchase gets a crawlable public coordinate profile with the title, creator name, description, pixel count, coordinates and publication date.
