How to Create Custom Grammarly Partner Banners that Convert

If you’re an affiliate or a partner of Grammarly, eye‑catching banner ads are the quickest way to drive traffic and boost commissions. Yet many partners resort to generic images that blend into the background. This guide shows you step‑by‑step how to design custom Grammarly partner banners that capture attention, match your brand, and convert visitors into paying users.

Why Custom Banners Matter

Standard Grammarly assets are safe, but they don’t leverage the unique voice of your site. Custom banners let you:

• Align with your design language – colors, fonts, and messaging that feel native.
• Target specific audience segments – students, professionals, writers, or educators.
• Test and optimize – A/B test different calls‑to‑action (CTAs) and layouts for higher conversion rates.

Getting Started: Basics You’ll Need

1. Grammarly Partner Resources

Log in to the Grammarly Partner Dashboard and download the official logo pack, brand guidelines, and any approved images. These resources ensure you stay compliant with Grammarly’s brand policy.

2. Design Tool

Choose a design platform you’re comfortable with—Canva, Adobe Express, Figma, or Photoshop. All three support custom dimensions and export options required for web banners.

3. Dimensions & File Types

Common banner sizes that work across most ad networks:

• Leaderboard: 728 × 90 px
• Medium Rectangle: 300 × 250 px
• Skyscraper: 160 × 600 px
• Mobile Banner: 320 × 50 px

Export as PNG for crisp graphics or as optimized JPEG for faster loading. Keep file size under 150 KB.

Step‑by‑Step Design Process

Step 1: Set Up Your Canvas

Open your chosen design tool, create a new file using one of the dimensions above, and set the background to a high‑contrast color that matches your site’s palette.

Step 2: Add the Grammarly Logo

Place the official Grammarly logo in the top‑left or top‑right corner. Maintain clear space as defined in the brand guidelines—usually the height of the ‘G’.

Step 3: Write a Persuasive Copy

Use concise, benefit‑focused language. Examples:

• “Write Perfectly. Get 20% Off Grammarly Premium.”
• “Boost Your Grades – Free Grammarly Trial for Students.”

Include a strong CTA button: <button>Start Now</button> with a contrasting color.

Step 4: Add Visual Elements

Consider adding:

• Screen mock‑ups of Grammarly’s editor.
• Icons representing “spelling”, “grammar”, and “plagiarism”.
• Short testimonial snippets for social proof.

Step 5: Optimize for Speed

Compress the final image using TinyPNG or ImageOptim. Test the file size, and if it exceeds 150 KB, reduce quality slightly until it loads quickly on both desktop and mobile.

Best Practices for Higher Conversion

• Use action verbs – “Download”, “Upgrade”, “Start”.
• Highlight a clear benefit – “Write error‑free essays”.
• Leverage urgency – “Limited time offer”.
• Maintain visual hierarchy – Bigger headline, smaller sub‑text, bold CTA.
• Test regularly – Rotate designs weekly and track clicks in the Grammarly dashboard.
