People who are fond of design or consider it as their main job do not need a description of the Adobe Fireworks for Windows, because they already know about it firsthand. However, if you have just started to explore the world of design and want to expand your knowledge about graphic editors, then the description of this application will be quite useful to you.

What is this program

Adobe Fireworks is a raster image and vector graphics editor that was originally developed by Macromedia and then acquired by Adobe in 2005. Fireworks is designed as a lightweight tool for creating graphics for web pages. The app includes layer-based editing, smart guides, integration with other Adobe graphics software, and image optimization for formats such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF. When you're done creating your graphics, you can export it to the aforementioned formats along with TIFF, SWF, BMP, and PDF.

JavaScript code support

The application allows you to create JavaScript commands that perform various useful actions, allowing you to save time on repetitive tasks. You can also add format support, such as the ability to import and export .SVG format with JavaScript extensions, which is very convenient for Windows users.
