how do you do spellcheck in canva

Canva spellcheck is usually done through Magic Write or your browser’s spell checker, not as a separate always-on Canva feature. The quickest method is to select your text box, open Magic Write , and choose Fix spelling.

How to do it

  1. Open your Canva design and click the text box you want to check.
  1. Highlight the text, then open Magic Write from the text toolbar.
  1. Click Fix spelling and accept the suggested replacement.
  1. If Canva doesn’t catch everything, use your browser’s built-in spell check or a browser extension like Grammarly.

Useful note

Canva’s spell checking works best on selected text, so if you’re checking multiple text boxes, do them one at a time. Some guides also note that browser spell check may need to be enabled first in Chrome settings.

Best workaround

If Canva’s suggestions are limited, copy the text into Google Docs or Word, run spell check there, and paste it back into Canva.
