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:
1. Select File > Export.
2. Type a filename and select a destination folder.
3. In the Export pop-up menu, select one of the following:
Frames to Files exports frames as multiple files.
Layers to Files exports layers as multiple files.
4. Select Trim Images to automatically crop the exported images to fit the objects on each
frame.
If you want to export frames or layers the same size as the document, deselect Trim
Images.
5. Click Export.
NOTE
This exports all layers on the current frame.
