Ever made spelling mistakes in your Canva designs? It happens to everyone. While Canva doesn’t have its own spell checker, I’ve got some simple fixes that’ll help keep your designs error-free.

Let me show you how to catch those pesky typos before they make it to your final design.

How to Use Your Browser’s Built-in Spell Check 🌐

Most web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge come with spell-check features. Once turned on, they’ll automatically flag spelling errors in your Canva designs.

Setting Up Chrome Spell Check:

1. Sign into your Google account
2. Click the 3-dot menu in the top-right corner
3. Go to Settings > Languages > Basic Spell Check

Using Grammarly Extension for Extra Help 📝

The Grammarly web browser extension is super helpful for Canva users. It checks your writing for grammar and spelling mistakes as you type, giving you instant feedback. This tool is especially useful if you need spell-checking for other projects too.

FAQs

Does Canva have a built-in spell checker?

No, Canva doesn’t have a built-in spellchecking feature that thoroughly scans designs for spelling or grammar errors. While it may underline text in text boxes for potential misspellings, it’s not a comprehensive solution.

Which spell check method is most reliable?

It doesn’t really matter whether you use Grammarly or other tools. However, online tools like Grammarly are more convenient, especially through browser extensions.

Can I spell check multiple text elements at once?

For small text or quick designs, using online spell checkers is handy. You can copy the text from Canva’s text box by selecting it and pressing Ctrl + C.

Will spell checking affect my design layout?

No, when you paste corrected text back into Canva, it won’t affect your design. Just copy the corrected text and replace the text with mistakes in your Canva design.

How accurate is Magic Write for spell checking?

Magic Write is a super easy AI tool for spell checking in Canva, but it’s not the only way to spell check. You might want to use multiple methods for important designs.
