Write
Draft and proof your copy in docs and email with Grammarly.
Modern design proofing software
Can Grammarly check images? No — Gard can.
Grammarly is excellent at checking text you can edit: docs, emails, browser fields. But the moment copy is rendered into a JPG, PNG, or design export, it goes dark. Gard reads the text inside your images and flags spelling and grammar errors before creative goes live.

From a team that relied on Grammarly alone
Before integrating Gard, we didn't have an image-proofing tool. We relied on Grammarly and used minimal image-based content. Now that our templates are more image-driven, Gard has been invaluable.

Most teams proof their copy in a doc, get it approved, and hand it to design. Then the copy gets re-typed or pasted into Figma, Photoshop, or Canva — and every typo introduced after that point ships invisibly, because no text-based checker can see inside an exported image.
That's exactly where image-based mistakes come from: a late-night edit on the artwork, a mangled paste, a client revision typed straight onto the design. Gard scans the final rendered pixels, so what you check is literally what your audience sees.

Where each tool fits
The workflow: use both
Keep your text checker for the writing stage. Add Gard as the last gate before publishing — when your words have become pixels.
Design
Approved copy goes into Figma, Photoshop, or Canva and gets exported as images.
Gard it
Drop the exports — or a whole watch folder — into Gard. It flags typos in the rendered text with suggested fixes.
Ship
Fix what Gard flags, re-export, and publish knowing the rendered text has been checked.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does Grammarly work on images at all?
Grammarly is built for editable text in documents, emails, and browser fields. It doesn't proofread text that has been rendered into image files like JPG or PNG — that's the gap Gard covers.
Do I have to replace Grammarly with Gard?
No. They're complementary. Grammarly covers the writing stage; Gard covers the design QA stage, scanning the final exported graphics your audience actually sees.
What image formats can Gard check?
Gard scans standard formats including JPEG, PNG, and WebP, in over 50 languages. Upload files, paste a link, batch-scan dozens at once, or set a watch folder on the Pro plan.
