The BSL fingerspelling alphabet chart
Download a free BSL fingerspelling alphabet chart showing the full British Sign Language alphabet from A–Z. Choose a skin tone, switch to a left-handed version if needed, then download your chart as a PNG image or print-ready A4 PDF. No sign-up needed.
BSL uses a two-handed fingerspelling alphabet. If your left hand is your dominant signing hand, choose the left-handed version so the chart matches the way your hands move.
Prefer a ready-made chart?
Choose one of the six versions below. Each chart shows the full A–Z BSL fingerspelling alphabet on a single A4 page, available as a high-resolution PNG or print-ready PDF.
Try the alphabet, interactively
Once you have the chart printed or pinned up, these free tools let you watch each letter signed, spell your own name or any word, test yourself against the clock and turn topic words into a fingerspelling puzzle. No sign-up needed.

How to use it
Start by learning the letters in your own name. Then practise short words such as hello, mum, dad, cat and dog. Go slowly at first and focus on clear handshapes rather than speed. Keep the chart nearby while using the Fingerspelling Player or Fingerspelling Quiz so you can check your handshapes as you go.
