Open Fireworks PNG files without Fireworks and convert them to layered PSD

Hi guys, my name is Ivan and I am developing a web app www.Photopea.com .

 

Recently, I added the support for Fireworks PNG files. You can open your Fireworks PNGs in it. You will see all original raster and vector layers. Text layers are editable. There are layer styles, too. You can save it as a PSD file (and work with it in Photoshop).

 

The conversion is not perfect. But I think it is the only way to open Fireworks PNGs without Adobe Fireworks (e.g. if you are on Linux or iOS). Also, I believe I created the first Fireworks PNG to PSD converter 🙂 you can use Photopea for free, without any sign-in.

      Wow, that is awesome news!

      Unfortunately, the first file I tested threw an error in Photopea. Here is the file:

      Thanks for sharing your file! I fixed the error, your file should work well now.

      Fireworks PNG contains a rasterized version of each layer. So if a feature has no analogy in a PSD format (e.g. an elliptical gradient in a vector shape), Photopea ignores the vector shape and uses the rasterized data to create a simple pixel layer.
