Why can't I export a large .ai file to .png?
Question
I am trying to export a large AI file to PNG in Illustrator (Per request) and have been unsuccessful. I believe it's because my file is too large. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on how I can export that large file to PNG?

A quick bypass would be to use inkscape instead. Download it from here: https://inkscape.org/en/
Inkscape can open large .ai files, and also can export them as .png
The only thing that you should do is:
Open your file with inkscape
Go to File > Export as PNG
In the window that pops up, select Page
Then in the same window choose where should the file be saved
And hit export
That's it
