About babel image archives

Babel Image Archives is a browser archive that programmatically generates 416 by 640 pixel images from 4096 colors. Visitors can search for an image location, browse the Universal Slideshow, look up images by location number, bookmark images through created URLs, and use download links and the Coloroscopy color viewer. Locations are typically almost 1,000,000 digits long, right-click saving does not work, and full traversal would take far beyond a human lifetime.

Pricing is not clearly stated.
