Grammarly Migration Guide: Move Your Writing Tools Seamlessly

Switching to a new Grammarly plan, platform, or account? A smooth migration ensures you keep all your writing history, custom dictionary, and preferences without missing a beat. This guide walks you through every step, from exporting data to re‑importing it on your new setup.

Why Migrate Properly?

• Preserve your writing history: Access past suggestions and reports.
• Keep your custom dictionary: No need to re‑type ignored words.
• Maintain tone and style settings: Consistent feedback across devices.

Preparation Checklist

1. Confirm the email address tied to your current Grammarly account.
2. Identify the target account (new personal, business, or educational plan).
3. Make sure you have a stable internet connection.

Step 1: Export Your Data

1.1 Download Your Writing Reports

Grammarly does not offer a bulk‑export button, but you can manually download each document’s report:

• Open the document in the Grammarly Editor.
• Click More options (⋮) → Download report.
• Save the PDF or .txt file to a folder named Grammarly_Migration.

1.2 Export Your Custom Dictionary

Go to Account Settings → Custom Dictionary. Scroll to the bottom and click Export. This creates a dictionary.txt file you’ll import later.

Step 2: Set Up the New Grammarly Account

1. Sign up or log in to the destination account.
2. Navigate to Account Settings → Subscription and choose the appropriate plan.
3. Verify your email and complete any required billing steps.

Step 3: Import Your Data into the New Account

3.1 Re‑upload Saved Documents

While Grammarly doesn’t support direct bulk import, you can quickly add each saved file:

• Click New Document → Upload.
• Select the previously downloaded PDFs or .txt files.
• Grammarly will analyze the content and generate fresh suggestions based on your new plan’s settings.

3.2 Import the Custom Dictionary

Open Account Settings → Custom Dictionary and click Import. Choose the dictionary.txt file you exported earlier. All ignored words reappear instantly.

Step 4: Replicate Your Preferences

To keep your feedback consistent, manually copy the following settings from the old account:

• Language (American, British, Canadian, Australian)
• Audience type (General, Academic, Business, etc.)
• Formality level
• Writing goals (Correctness, Clarity, Engagement, Delivery)

These are found under Account Settings → Writing Style. Tick the same boxes on the new account.

Step 5: Verify the Migration

1. Open a few recently uploaded documents.
2. Check that custom dictionary words are still ignored.
3. Compare a suggestion from the old account (if you kept the PDF report) with the new one to ensure settings match.

If anything looks off, revisit the settings page or re‑import the custom dictionary.

Best Practices & Tips

• Batch your exports: Set aside 30 minutes to download all reports in one go.
• Use a consistent folder structure: Helps you locate files quickly when re‑uploading.
• Backup your custom dictionary: Keep a copy in cloud storage for future migrations.
• Test on a sample document: Before importing everything, test one file to confirm settings.

FAQ

Can I transfer Grammarly Premium credits to a new account?

No. Credits, coupons, or subscription periods are tied to the original account and cannot be transferred.

What happens to documents stored only in the Grammarly app?

Documents saved locally on your device remain there. Export them manually as described in Step 1 before switching accounts.

Is there an automatic bulk‑export tool?

Currently Grammarly only offers manual export per document. For large libraries, consider using a screen‑scraping script or contacting support for a custom solution.
