Adobe® Fireworks® CS5 software enables you to create expressive, highly optimized graphics for the web or virtually any device — from smartphones to kiosks to embedded displays. Produce websites, user interfaces, and rich prototypes that are editable in both vector and bitmap modes.

Wireframe websites
Quickly create wireframes from Fireworks templates. Add text, symbols, and imagery with the robust vector and bitmap toolset. Add pages and customize them quickly with Smart Guides, and export them as clickable PDF mock-ups for approval.

Deliver transparent web graphics
Create graphics with transparent alpha layers that will display correctly on any browser. Optimize your designs with Fireworks and export them as PNG-8 files for true cross-browser transparency.

Comp RIA interfaces
Use vector objects and imported bitmaps to prototype rich Internet application (RIA) interfaces. Apply behaviors to objects to simulate interactivity. Export as Adobe AIR® applications or FXG files for development in Adobe Flash® Catalyst™ and Flash Builder™.

Export standards-compliant CSS layouts with external style sheets for completion into Adobe Dreamweaver®. Take your design into Adobe Flash Professional and preserve layer states and symbols for animation interactivity development.

Open native Adobe Photoshop® and Illustrator® files with high fidelity of layers, effects, blend modes, up to 100 artboards, and even double-byte text. Your ability to edit vectors, bitmaps, and text objects remains intact.

Import objects, pages, or whole documents from Fireworks into Flash Catalyst. Leverage the accessible Fireworks API to create custom FXG export scripts for advanced batch processing. Create skin components such as buttons, menu types, and form elements for use in Flash Builder.
