About This Feature
Overview
WPS Image Tools are a set of built-in image handling features for document editing on iOS. After an image is inserted into a document, you can continue adjusting layout, processing image content, and saving the image from the same editing flow. Common capabilities include:
- Crop images to keep only the area you need.
- Edit images with enhancement, filters, cutout, annotation, and repair options.
- Extract text from images and translate image content when needed.
- Adjust text wrapping, object order, and horizontal alignment for cleaner page layout.
- Replace, delete, rotate, and save images for everyday image management.
These tools are useful for organizing image-rich documents, refining photos added to a file, extracting text from screenshots or posters, adjusting page layout, and saving document images to the local photo library.

| Capability Summary | In iOS documents, WPS provides image crop, image editing, text extraction, image translation, replace, delete, rotate, text wrapping, object layering, horizontal alignment, and save image. | Microsoft Word support pages describe picture layout controls such as Wrap Text, Position, In Line with Text, Top and Bottom, and Behind Text. | Google Docs Editors help for iPhone and iPad describes resizing and rotating images in Docs, and cropping or masking images in Google Slides. | Notion help describes adding, resizing, cropping, aligning, replacing, deleting, and downloading images or media blocks. | Adobe Acrobat content highlights OCR for turning image text into usable text for translation-related workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: one image tool set covers document layout, image processing, text extraction, translation, and saving in one iOS editing flow. Distinct: image text extraction and image translation are available directly from the document image workflow. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on picture layout and positioning, and does not present image translation or the same document-image replacement flow on that page. | Compared with WPS: the iOS help page focuses on resize and rotate in Docs, plus crop or mask in Slides; it does not describe image text extraction or image translation in the same help flow. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on media block management and page layout, and the help page does not describe image text extraction or image translation. | Compared with WPS: Adobe emphasizes OCR and translation-related processing, while picture wrapping, object order, and horizontal alignment inside a document are not the focus of that page. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to handle image content, image text, and page layout during document editing on iOS, WPS keeps these actions in a more centralized workflow. Other products can fit specific needs such as layout-only editing, media block management, or OCR-focused processing, depending on the task.
Use Cases
