Hello Parthiban,

Thanks for your keen interest in Aspose.Slides.

According to your code snippet, slide.getThumbnail(400,300) means that are trying to create an image that is scaled to 400 times in X-direction and 300 times in Y-direction. The Created image will have resolution about 720*400 x 576*300. You need a memory space of more than 100+ GB. So, please try using scaling factors that are well in range, like scale factor up to 10 or more. Please use following code snippet.

slide.getThumbnail(1,1)

Thanks and Regards,
