<div dir="auto">Hey, Steve and Anna!<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Since the topic is to upload images to Canva.com, I'm assuming they'd be treated as such, without any intention of keeping track of their FSW/code.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">If that's the case, I believe that the amount of images reduces drastically.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Instead of 16 symbols for each hand, it could be only one symbol per hand.

Hi AnnaGrace,<br>
<br>
Keep me posted if you find what you need. I believe all of the PNG
images available are of a lower quality that the SVG refinement.<br>
<br>
Using <a href="https://github.com/sutton-signwriting/font-db" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sutton-signwriting/font-db</a> I could write a
script to dump all of the symbols into PNG images.<br>
<br>
For each symbol the command would be:<br>
node fsw/fsw-symbol-png S10000 S10000.png<br>
<br>
Be aware though, there are 37,811 symbol in the ISWA 2010.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Signwriting List --
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I use Canva platform to produce anything graphics. If you
haven't done so, I encourage you to take a look at <a href="http://canva.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">canva.com</a>!
You can create visual posters, worksheets, flyers, brochures,
eBooks, and more! Anyone can upload any image to use on
Canva. There's a free version which offers plenty.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to use Canva to create signwriting documents.
I need to upload signwriting symbols to make this possible.
That means I would need to upload hundreds of symbols in png
files.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My question to you on the SignWriting List is, do you
happen to have a zip folder of png files of individual
signwriting symbols that you can pass on to me?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This would save me many, many hours of work. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And I can teach you how to utilize Canva for signwriting!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With warm regards,</div>
