Creating a new Fireworks document



New documents in Fireworks are saved as Portable Network Graphic (PNG) documents. PNG is the native file format for Fireworks.

Graphics created in Fireworks can be exported to or saved in several web and graphic formats. Regardless of the optimization and export settings you select, the original Fireworks PNG file is preserved to allow easy editing later.
