This may substantially change the look of the image. Fireworks doesn't support gradients on strokes, so the stroke color will default to the color of the first stop in the gradient, with an opacity calculated as the average opacities of the first and last nodes.Embedded CSS styles are supported, but must be defined before the elements that use them are defined.Lines with more than 3 dashes are not supported.Some radial gradients may not look correct.Text elements will tend to shift, and may be a slightly different size.Basic blur and drop-shadow effects generally work, but other filters are not supported.Fireworks requires that strokes be at least 1px in diameter, so if an SVG file specifies a sub-pixel stroke width, the stroke will be given a lower opacity to simulate a thinner stroke.Fireworks CS6 is required, as SVG supports separate opacities for fill and stroke.Embedded Base64 images or images at absolute URLs are not supported.

The visual fidelity will often depend on how many of SVG's features the file uses. SVG is an extremely complicated format, and many tools export it in slightly different ways, so what you see in Fireworks after importing a file may look quite different than what you see in the browser.

Groups and elements will inherit their names from the IDs or class names of the corresponding tags in the SVG file. The new document will be resized to try to match the viewport of the source file.Įlements that are grouped in the SVG file will also be grouped in the Fireworks output.
