About This Feature
Overview
Image in WPS Spreadsheet on Android helps you insert, edit, and adjust pictures in a worksheet. It is useful for adding product photos, on-site records, visual notes, and other image-based references directly into spreadsheet content.
Core capabilities include:
- Insert a cell image: place a picture inside a cell so it follows the cell layout.
- Insert a floating image: place a picture above cells for flexible positioning.
- Edit an image: open the image editing entry from the picture toolbar.
- Adjust image position and size: drag the image or its handles to reposition or resize it.
- Switch image type: convert between a floating image and an image embedded in a cell.
This feature is suitable for product lists, inspection records, report annotations, and mobile spreadsheet entry scenarios.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports inserting images as cell images or floating images in spreadsheets, with size, position, and type switching controls. | Microsoft Office supports inserting pictures from a device, stock images, or online sources, and supports resizing and moving pictures. | Google Docs focuses on online document creation and collaboration, and its product pages highlight rich content workflows, but they do not detail spreadsheet-style cell image modes on the public product page. | Notion supports uploading, embedding, dragging, resizing, and arranging images in pages and database properties such as Files & media. | Adobe Acrobat supports adding images to PDFs and adjusting image placement and size in editing workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides both cell image and floating image modes in a mobile spreadsheet workflow, which helps users choose between structured cell-based placement and free layout. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation highlights general picture insertion and resizing, but does not emphasize a mobile spreadsheet workflow with switching between embedded cell images and floating images. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes collaborative document workflows, while public product information provides less detail about mobile spreadsheet image insertion modes. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for page and database content organization, while WPS is more focused on spreadsheet image placement tied to worksheet structure. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF image editing rather than spreadsheet-based image entry on Android. |
