You use the File > Export command to export a graphic after you have finished optimizing it in the workspace.

If you are working with an existing image that you opened in Fireworks, you can save it rather than export it. For more information, see Saving documents in other formats.

NOTE

To export only certain images in a document, you must first slice your document and then export only the desired slices. For more information, see Exporting selected slices.

To export a Fireworks document as a single image:

  1. Select the file format you would like to use for exporting in the Optimize panel and set format-specific options.
  2. Select File > Export.
  3. Select a location to export the image file to.

    For web graphics, the best location is typically a folder within your local website.

  4. Enter a filename. You do not need to enter a file extension; Fireworks does that for you upon export using the file type you specified in your optimization settings. For more information on optimizing, see About optimizing.
  5. Select Images Only from the Export pop-up menu.
  6. Click Export.
