How to Add Page Numbers in Canva

Learning how to add page numbers in Canva helps you keep multi-page designs like presentations, ebooks, and reports well organized.

Add page numbers manually

In Canva:

1. Open your design
2. Go to the page where you want the number
3. Press T to add a text box
4. Type the page number (e.g., 1, 2, 3)
5. Position it in a corner or footer

👉 Repeat this on each page with updated numbers

Duplicate pages to save time

1. Add a page number to one page
2. Duplicate the page
3. Update only the number on each page

This speeds up the process for longer designs.

Keep page numbers consistent

• Use the same font and size
• Place numbers in the same position on every page
• Align them properly for a clean look

Why Canva doesn’t auto-number pages

Unlike tools like Google Docs, Canva currently doesn’t offer automatic page numbering, so you need to add them manually.

Quick tip

Create one template page with a page number style, then duplicate it across your design to maintain consistency and save time.
