Obsidian version: v1.1.9
Installer version: v1.1.8

For v1.1.9, perhaps installer v1.1.9 as well:

The Installer has been updated to use Electron v21 (requires downloading the latest Installer from https://obsidian.md ).

Same here. The export as image does not work. I either get broken images or files that can’t even open in macos Preview app.

Attached: screenshot of the canvas, screenshot of the exported image.

1. Does it happen in restricted mode and default theme?
2. what are you computer specs exactly?

some changes will be made in 1.1.14, let me know if it works

On the latest insider build, I’m getting stuck at “rendering tiles” when exporting a full simple canvas (text only, not many cards). Stop button is also non-functional (have to quit to regain control). I’m on an M2 Mac with 16GB of memory.

this sounds like a different problem. Open a new bug report and post ascreen recording of it happening in the sandbox vault.
