Why is the canvas size so limited?

Probably because you didn't resize it with the Canvas settings on the right side.

I did.

So make it bigger?

Clearly I did hence why i said its limited, very much so.

I don't understand - it goes up to 512x512 hexels and exports to 24,216x20,951 pixels at 41 resolution. That is ridiculously-gigantic. Why would you possibly need more?

And if you did have a good excuse for making something bigger than that, you should probably learn about stiching images together.

It doesn't go anywhere near that for me. One of them that I chose went up to 180/100...

I wasn't sure if maybe the templates differed in limitation, but I just tried maximizing the canvas on every available template and they all scale up to 512x512 hexels.

Tested on Hexels v2.54 in Windows 7.

The trixels for example doesnt though. Nowhere near that.

It might be a bug.

Can confirm, Trixels canvas is limited to 170x128 Hx for me.

On a Mac, there is a hidden option that will let you increase the max size of the canvas. You will find it under preferences -> advanced

So there is - however this kind of confirms that Trixels has a bugged canvas then. Even after changing the preferences, Trixels is still limited to 170x128hx

edit:
My bad - you need to restart Hexels after changing the preferences.
After adjusting the preferences, I'm seeing the same thing being discussed here http://steamcommunity.com/app/428340/discussions/0/152393186482777283/
Trixels is limited to 682x512hx when you change the canvas size in preferences to max out at 2048x2048
