Want to organize your Google Slides presentation with numbered slides? Here's how you can add or remove it easily.

Google Slides is a web-based tool developed by Google for creating and sharing presentations. If you've created a presentation with Google Slides, one way to keep things tidy is by adding slide numbers to your presentation.

Slide numbers help you organize your slides, and help your audience keep track of the presentation. In Google Slides, you can enable slide numbers so that Google Slides automatically numbers each slide. Furthermore, you can customize the slide number to match your preferred looks.

You can add slide numbers to your presentation with a couple of clicks in the Insert menu.

In the Slide numbers dialog, select Apply if you want to number all slides. Otherwise, return to Google Slides and select the slides that you want to number and return to Slide numbers to select Apply to selected.

If you check Skip title slides, slides that have the title slide formatting will not be numbered. The title slide is usually the first slide in a Google Slides presentation, and it includes a title and a subtitle.

Once you add slide numbers to your presentation, these numbers will appear in the bottom-right corner by default. The slide numbers are essentially text boxes, so all the customizations that you can apply to text, you can apply to your slide numbers.

In the Format options, you can change the position, angle, and looks of your slide number. For instance, you can give it an angle and also add a drop shadow effect. Changing the color and size of the slide number is done through the toolbar.

You can add more styling, such as bold, italic, or a change of color through the toolbar. Unfortunately, the changes you make to a slide number won't change the numbers in all other slides. If you want to achieve a uniform look, you'll have to change every slide number manually.

If you don't want to have slide numbers in your presentation, you can remove them the same way you added them.

The slide numbers are gone now.

Slides can get out of hand, especially if you've got too many of them, and they all look alike from afar. One method for organizing your presentation, for both your own and the audience's sake, is numbering the slides.

Now you know how you can number all slides, or just a select few, and then customize them to your liking.
