Exporting frames or layers
Fireworks can export each layer or frame in a document as a separate image file, using the
optimization settings specified in the Optimize panel. The name of the layer or frame determines
the filename of each exported file. This export method is sometimes used to export animations.
To export frames or layers as multiple files:
Choose File > Export.
1
Type a filename and choose a destination folder.
2
In the Save As Type pop-up menu, choose one of the following:
3
Frames to Files
Layers to Files
Note: This exports all layers on the current frame.
Choose Trim Images to automatically crop the exported images to fit the objects on each frame.
4
If you want to export frames or layers the same size as the document, deselect Trim Images.
Click Save.
5

You can use the Export Area tool to export a portion of a Fireworks document.
To export a portion of a document:

button, press and hold down the Spacebar, then drag the marquee to another location on the
