About This Feature
Overview
Export as Image is a WPS Writer feature on iOS that turns document content into image output for sharing. It is useful when you want to send formatted content through social apps, messaging tools, or collaboration channels without changing the page layout.
Key capabilities include:
- Exporting document content from the Share entry with long-image output or page-by-page output.
- Exporting document content from the More entry and then saving or sharing the generated images.
- Editing display elements such as page numbers, background, watermark, and card content before export.
This feature fits mobile sharing, layout-preserving delivery, and quick image-based distribution of document content.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS can export Writer documents as a long image or page-by-page images, and lets you edit page numbers, background, watermark, and card elements before saving or sharing. | Microsoft officially supports saving pictures, shapes, charts, text boxes, and other graphics as separate image files, but it does not provide a standard direct workflow for exporting a full Word document as images. | Google Docs community guidance states that Docs cannot directly save a document as PNG or JPG. | Notion officially supports exporting content as PDF, HTML, and CSV, but does not provide an official direct page-to-image export workflow. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports converting PDFs to image formats such as JPEG, PNG, and TIFF, which works well for PDF-based image export. |
| Official Source | — | Save a picture or other graphic as a separate file | Save Google document as an image (png, jpg)? | Export your content | Convert PDFs to image formats |
Advantage: It completes document-to-image export directly on mobile without requiring a PDF-first workflow or another tool.
Overall Conclusion
If you need to turn a Writer document into shareable images directly on iOS, WPS offers a more direct mobile workflow. Adobe is a clearer fit when your process starts from PDF, while Microsoft, Google, and Notion usually require extra steps or a different export path for full-document image output.

Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable users | Main need | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sharing content on social platforms | Students, creators, and everyday users | Document pages are not convenient to show directly in chats or social feeds | Use Share as Long Image to generate an image and send it directly |
| 2 | Sending multi-page content page by page | Collaboration users | Recipients may prefer to review content one page at a time | Choose page-by-page output and then save or share the results |
| 3 | Preserving layout in delivery | Users who need fixed formatting | A document may display differently on another device or app | Exporting as images keeps the visible layout more consistent |
| 4 | Saving document content as local image files | Mobile office users | They need a quick way to keep document content in Photos or local storage | Tap Save to store the generated images locally |
| 5 | Adjusting the visual result before export | Users who care about presentation | Default export appearance may not match the sharing need | Edit page numbers, background, watermark, and card elements before export |
