You'll need to use a 64 bit build of QGIS to export an image that large.

  • File 64bits.jpg added

That is the thing, that i have a 64 bits version

Actually looks like there's a hard limit of 32767 for either the width or height. Neither dimension can exceed this size regardless of the RAM available. We'd need to implement some form of "tiled" image exports to get around this.

it this limited implemented for all platforms? I remember that while Windows had always problems in exporting large maps objects/layouts Linux had always performed well.

I have Ubuntu 15.04 with QGIS 2.4 and also receive this error when attempting to export a file of dimensions: 213390 x 106696

My workaround is to export 32 separate tiles and then combine the tiles using GDAL. Would be much easier if I could just export this from QGIS directly.
