Adobe Fireworks (formerly Macromedia Fireworks) is a bitmap and vector graphics editor which was developed and distributed from 1998 through 2012. Fireworks was made for web designers for rapidly creating website prototypes and application interfaces. Its features included slices, which are segments of an image that are converted to HTML elements, and the ability to add hotspots, which are segments of an image that are converted to hyperlinks. It was originally designed to integrate with other Adobe products such as Adobe Dreamweaver and Adobe Flash. It was originally developed by Macromedia, which Adobe acquired in 2005. It was available as either a standalone product or bundled with Adobe Creative Suite. Older versions were bundled with Macromedia Studio. Adobe discontinued Fireworks in 2013, citing the increasing overlap in functionality with its other products such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Edge.2
