Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | For collaborative spreadsheets on macOS, WPS can start file optimization directly in the current sheet and list processed items such as image compression, redundant data cleanup, and style cleanup. | Microsoft Support describes ways to reduce Word document size, including compressing pictures, deleting cropped areas, lowering default resolution, and avoiding embedded fonts. | Google Sheets Help explains how to add images to spreadsheets and states a 50 MB limit for supported image files, but the page does not describe a file-level optimization workflow for an entire spreadsheet. | Notion Help explains how to upload and embed images, files, and media, and it documents file-size limits by plan, focusing on media handling and upload limits. | Adobe Acrobat Help provides advanced options to reduce PDF file size, focusing on PDF optimization and compatibility settings. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct optimization entry inside a collaborative spreadsheet and shows optimized items together with an automatic optimization setting. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance on this topic focuses on manual document and image settings rather than an integrated optimization panel for collaborative spreadsheets. | Compared with WPS: Google's official page focuses on image insertion and image size limits, not spreadsheet-level cleanup of redundant data or styles. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on uploading, embedding, and managing media, and the official page does not describe cleanup for spreadsheet file structure or styles. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's official optimization workflow is designed for PDF files rather than collaborative spreadsheets. |
| Official Source | — | Reduce Word document file size | Add an image to a spreadsheet | Images, files & media | Reduce PDF file size with advanced options |
Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to reduce the size of a collaborative spreadsheet on macOS, WPS is more closely aligned with that workflow. The official pages from the other products in this comparison focus more on document image settings, media upload limits, or PDF optimization.
