| Official Source | — | Insert pictures | Insert or delete images & videos | Images and media | Add images and objects to PDFs |
Advantage: The entry is part of the PDF editing workflow, which is convenient for direct PDF page updates; It supports multiple local image formats listed in the feature guide

If your main task is adding images directly to PDF pages, WPS and Adobe are both closer to PDF editing workflows. If your work is centered on general document collaboration, Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Notion are more aligned with their own document or page-based editing environments.
