unable to export as png, unknown error message

[bthomas1996]

I've been trying to do some work and when i finally finished and went to export my image as a png i get the error message "the operation can not complete because of an unknown error [!now]" I can export as a jpg fine, this is only when i try to export as a png which is the file i mostly use.

Which system, which version?

What's in the file?

How large is the file?

How do you export and exactly where?

Which options when exporting?

adobe illustrator cc 2018 22.1 i believe

image size 7632x6480 pixels

trying to export to a local folder on my system

I would think that this is the cause of your issue.

Even if JPEG can be exported that doesn't mean PNG will be as well.

I tried significantly reducing the image size and it saved, thank you!

It may be  the complexity of your file but I don't have a proble exporting that size to PNG (Export for Screens or Export As...)
