About This Feature
Overview
Image Alignment is a WPS PDF editing feature for arranging selected images by page position or shared alignment direction. You can apply left align, center align, right align, top align, middle align, or bottom align to a single image. You can also select multiple images and apply the same alignment option to organize the page layout more efficiently.
Core tasks include:
- Align a single image: Move the current image to a selected alignment position.
- Align multiple images in batch: Apply one alignment option to several selected images for a more consistent layout.
This feature is useful for cover pages, reports, image-heavy PDF layouts, and other pages where image placement needs to stay consistent.

| Capability Summary | In WPS PDF, after you select an image, you can use the Align button on the Picture Edit tab to apply left, center, right, top, middle, or bottom alignment. You can also hold Ctrl to select multiple images and align them together. | Word lets you select one or more pictures, shapes, and other objects, then use Align commands and distribution options. | Google Docs provides left, center, and right alignment shortcuts, but the public help content does not show a dedicated multi-image alignment panel. | Notion lets you align image, file, and media blocks to the left, center, or right. | Acrobat lets you modify images in PDFs and align multiple objects by their edges. |

Advantage: WPS provides a direct image alignment entry inside the PDF editing workflow for both single-image and multi-image alignment tasks.
Overall Conclusion
If you need to align images directly while editing a PDF, WPS keeps the workflow focused inside the PDF editor and supports both single-image and multi-image alignment. Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat also provide object alignment tools, but their public guidance is centered on document objects or broader PDF object editing. Google Docs and Notion cover more basic alignment scenarios in their published help content.
