About This Feature
Overview
Delete Image is a PDF editing feature in WPS that removes a selected image object from a PDF page. After you select an image, you can delete it from the Picture Edit tab, the right-click menu, or the keyboard.
Core tasks include:
- Delete an image from the Picture Edit tab: useful for a standard toolbar-based workflow.
- Delete an image from the right-click menu: useful for direct page editing.
- Delete an image with Delete or Backspace: useful for keyboard-focused editing.
This feature is useful when you need to clean up extra images, revise visual content in a PDF, or remove an image that was inserted by mistake. It helps you remove a specific image without changing other text or objects on the page.
