How to Add Page Numbers in Canva

Quick summary

Canva does not have an automatic page numbering feature, so adding page numbers requires inserting a text element manually on each page of your design. This walkthrough covers every step — from opening your design to formatting and saving — so you can produce polished, consistently numbered documents in Canva.

Steps

1. Create or open an existing Canva design to get started.
2. On the edit toolbar, click the Text option.
3. Choose your preferred text styles and enter the page number in the text box.
4. Place the page number wherever you want it to appear on your design canvas.
5. Format the page number to your preference — adjust the font, size, and colour as needed.
6. If your design has multiple pages, click the Addition icon to duplicate pages so the page number element carries over.
7. Manually update the page numbers on each duplicated page to reflect the correct sequence.
8. Once satisfied, click Share to save and export your finished design.
