About This Feature
Overview
Screenshot is a built-in tool in WPS Office for iOS for capturing the current document view, adding simple pen marks, and then saving, sending, or copying the result.
Core capabilities include:
- Capture the current document area: Select the part of the page you want to keep.
- Add pen marks: Make simple annotations right after capture.
- Export the screenshot result: Save it locally, send it, or copy it after finishing.
It works well for saving key document content, sharing page details, and keeping temporary visual notes during mobile work.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides an in-document screenshot entry on iOS, lets you select an area, add pen marks, and then save, send, or copy the result. | Microsoft Office supports inserting a full window screenshot or a screen clipping in desktop apps, with a focus on placing the capture into a file. | Google Docs emphasizes online document creation, collaboration, and cross-device editing, but its product page does not describe a built-in document screenshot tool. | Notion supports uploading, embedding, and organizing images and files, which is useful for managing screenshot assets, but it does not describe an in-document screenshot entry. | Adobe explains how to convert a screenshot into PDF, with a focus on post-capture saving and conversion. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: On iOS, WPS keeps capture, simple annotation, and export in one document flow, which is convenient for quick mobile handling. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation here focuses on desktop insertion into Office files rather than an iOS in-document screenshot flow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses more on collaboration and editing, so screenshot use usually depends on system capture or image insertion. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for storing and arranging existing images or files than for taking a screenshot directly inside a document. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on converting screenshots after capture than on an in-document capture workflow. |
| Official Source | — | Insert a screenshot or screen clipping | Google Docs product page | Images, files & media | Convert screenshot to PDF |
Overall Conclusion: If you want to capture part of a document on iOS and immediately mark it up or share it, WPS keeps the workflow more concentrated inside the document view. The other products in this comparison focus more on desktop insertion, online collaboration, media management, or post-capture file conversion.
