Export a sliced document



By default, when you export a sliced Fireworks document, an HTML file and associated images are exported. The exported HTML file can be viewed in a web browser or imported into other applications for further editing.

Before export, be sure you have the appropriate HTML style selected in the HTML Setup dialog box. See Set HTML export options.

Export all slices

  1. Select File > Export.

  2. Navigate to a folder on your hard drive in which to export.

  3. From the Export pop-up menu, select HTML and Images.

  4. Type a filename in the File Name box (Windows) or Save As box (Mac OS).

  5. From the HTML pop-up menu, select Export HTML File.

  6. From the Slices pop-up menu, select Export Slices.

  7. (Optional) Select Put Images In Subfolder.

  8. Click Save.

Export selected slices

  1. Shift-click to select multiple slices.

  2. Select File > Export.

  3. Select a location in which to store the exported files, such as a folder within your local website.

  4. From the Export pop-up menu, select HTML and Images.

  5. Enter a filename with no extension. An extension is added during export based on the file type.

    If you are exporting multiple slices, Fireworks uses the name you enter as the root name for all exported graphics, excluding those you have custom-named using the Layers panel or the Property inspector.

  6. From the Slices pop-up menu, select Export Slices.

  7. To export only the slices you selected before export, choose Selected Slices Only, and ensure that the Include Areas Without Slices option is not selected.

  8. Click Save.

Update a slice

If you've already exported a sliced document and have subsequently made changes to the original document in Fireworks, you can update just the image or slice that changed. To make it easy to locate the replacement slice, custom-name slices.

  1. Hide the slice and edit the area underneath.

  2. Show the slice again.

  3. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the slice and select Export Selected Slice.

  4. Click Export to export the slice into the same folder as the original slice using the same base name.

  5. Click OK when asked to replace the existing file.

    Note: Avoid resizing the slice beyond its original export size in Fireworks, or you could create unexpected results in the HTML document after the slice is updated.
