# love.graphics.getMaxImageSize

Available since LÖVE 0.9.0
This function is not supported in earlier versions.

Gets the max supported width or height of Images and Canvases.

Attempting to create an Image with a width *or* height greater than this number will create a checkerboard-patterned image instead. Doing the same for a canvas will result in an error.

The returned number depends on the system running the code. It is safe to assume it will never be less than 1024 and will almost always be 2048 or greater.
