Fireworks was made for web designers for rapidly creating website prototypes and application interfaces.

Fireworks support guides, horizontal or vertical lines that act like a real-world ruler to help drawing, content placement and image composition.

A user may place one or more guides on the image at any time and use it as a visual aid.

For instance a guide is useful when a piece of text must be placed in line with another graphical item.

Fireworks can export images to multiple file formats including PNG, JPEG, GIF, Animated GIF, TIFF, SWF, BMP, WBMP and PDF.
