| Capability Summary | Supports inserting images from the gallery, camera, and stock library in WPS Docs on Android; stock library images are membership-related. | Word help includes picture-related help and image insertion learning content for documents. | Google Docs on Android supports adding an image and choosing where to get the image from. | Notion supports uploading images, embedding images by URL, and adding stock photos in media blocks. | Acrobat supports adding images to PDFs, mainly for PDF editing workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS brings gallery, camera, and stock library image insertion together in one mobile document workflow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides picture help and document image workflows, but the reviewed page does not present the same Android-focused three-way entry in one flow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports Android image insertion, but the official page mainly describes a general add-image flow rather than a membership-based stock library path. | Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented more toward page blocks and media organization than mobile document layout editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is more focused on adding images inside PDFs than editing text documents on Android. |
