About This Feature
Overview
Page Background helps you adjust the visual appearance of document pages for clearer presentation, visual distinction, and layout styling. In WPS Writer on Android, you can set a page background color, use a custom background image, and remove the current page background.
Core tasks include:
- Set a page background color for quick visual styling in everyday documents.

This feature is useful for internal business documents, event drafts, study materials, and mobile document styling.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you set a page background color, use a custom background image, and remove the page background in document editing mode. | Microsoft Word officially supports page color, watermarks, and page borders for document background-related design. | Google Docs officially supports text and image watermarks, but watermark editing is mainly documented for computer use and requires pages format. | Notion officially supports page covers, icons, text color, and background color styling, focusing more on page presentation than print-style page backgrounds. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports adding watermarks to PDFs and provides background and watermark-related editing for PDF workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides direct Android access to page background color, background image, and remove background actions, which fits quick mobile document styling. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents broader background-related controls, but the official workflow is centered on desktop design menus. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes watermark features, and its Android help page directs users to a computer for adding, editing, or removing watermarks. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to cover images and content styling rather than traditional document page background editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on PDF watermark and background processing than Writer-style document page background editing. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to adjust document page backgrounds directly on Android, WPS offers a workflow that is closer to mobile editing. Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat provide broader desktop-oriented background or watermark controls, while Google Docs and Notion focus on their own page-format and content-styling scenarios.
