I've tested Firefox, Safari and IE on Windows.

I guess I left out another detail, too. The app I use to create these
images "fails" halfway through creation of the PNG files, but only if
the length of the image is less than 16000px (the values could be
higher, this is just where I arbitrarily decided to split the files
into two. This app "failing" actually creates a perfect PNG image,
but as mentioned in a previous post, is only viewable to me in Adobe
PhotoShop. It's also worth noting that when the file is open in
PhotoShop, it cannot be saved back into PNG format-only BMP and other
less-desirable formats. The only way PhotoShop can save the file is
to divide it into ~30,000px parts.

I think you've answered my question with the maximum dimension being
32767. I'm just posting this bit to add to the discussion.

Thanks for the help!
