[Sw-l] png files of all symbols?

[Ms. AnnaGrace]

Hi Mr. Ruon,

You made an excellent point about Canva's capability to mirror (flip) and
rotate the images so that not as many symbols need to be uploaded to Canva.
(www.canva.com)

I appreciate your help!

By the way, what's FSW/code? I'm learning along the way!

Thanks so much,
AnnaGrace
