| Capability Summary | In WPS Spreadsheets on iOS, you can open Screenshot from Tools → View, select a capture area, add pen annotations, and then save, send, or copy the result. | Microsoft Support describes inserting a screenshot or screen clipping into Office files, mainly in desktop editing workflows for Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. | The Google Docs product page highlights online collaboration, comments, version history, and cross-device editing, but it does not describe a built-in screenshot tool in Docs. | Notion Help Center explains how to upload, embed, and manage image files such as PNG and JPG in pages and databases, rather than starting a screenshot flow inside a spreadsheet editor. | Adobe explains how to save or convert a screenshot to PDF, with a focus on post-capture conversion and sharing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS starts screenshot capture directly inside the spreadsheet workflow on iOS, supports pen annotation during capture, and lets you save, send, or copy the result right away. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance focuses on inserting existing screen content into Office documents, with the documented flow centered on desktop apps. | Compared with WPS: Google's official page focuses on document collaboration and editing features, not an in-document screenshot entry point. | Compared with WPS: Notion is positioned around adding and managing existing media files, not direct spreadsheet screenshot capture with annotation. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's official content focuses more on converting screenshots into PDF files after capture than on in-editor spreadsheet capture and markup. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to capture the current spreadsheet view on iOS and handle the result immediately, WPS keeps the workflow more concentrated inside the spreadsheet interface. The other products cover related but different scenarios, such as inserting screenshots into documents, managing uploaded images, or converting screenshots into PDF files.
