In an upcoming article, I’ll be covering many articles and tutorials which I highly recommend that involve UI design and Fireworks, as well as a few freebies, such as editable Fireworks PNG files, templates, styles, Fireworks resource libraries, and so on. So while we’re looking for alternatives, many of us also have to continue to use Fireworks, and, as every designer out there knows, Fireworks works best with extensions! This article features some of the most useful (and free) Fireworks extensions that will help you work faster and be more effective with Fireworks I have tested many of them myself, to be sure that they work flawlessly.

Nevertheless, since Fireworks runs fine today on the latest Mac OS X and Windows OS, and since it still offers a solid UI-design feature set, many designers continue to use it and rely on it daily.įor those of you who are searching for a similar tool, Sketch 3.0 seems to be a pretty good alternative to Fireworks, but it’s still not quite there yet it’s Mac-only, and while its vector tools are very good and it now has artboards, pages, symbols and styles, it lacks a few of the basic features available in Fireworks. Fireworks is an excellent UI design tool however, Adobe decided to feature-freeze it back in 2013 and (at the same time) did not offer any replacement tool to its users.
