About This Feature
Overview
Share After Compression is a spreadsheet sharing feature in WPS Office for iOS. It helps you reduce file size before sending a file through common sharing channels.
Core capabilities include:
- Start Share After Compression directly from an open spreadsheet when you are already viewing or editing the file.
- Start Share After Compression from the document list on the WPS Home screen for a faster file-level workflow.
- Compress and save the file automatically, rename the compressed package if needed, and then send it through WPS Collaboration, WeChat, email, or other destinations.
This workflow is useful for sending large spreadsheets, forwarding files quickly on mobile, and sharing spreadsheets that contain many images. For text-only or number-only spreadsheets, the size reduction may be limited.
