Overview
Signature is an insert feature in WPS Office for iOS spreadsheets.

Core tasks include:

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS spreadsheets, WPS lets you insert a handwritten signature, a camera-captured signature result, or a signature image from Photos, and keep it as part of the document for printing. | Microsoft Word officially supports inserting a scanned handwritten signature as a picture and adding a signature line in documents. | Google Workspace provides eSignature workflows in Docs and Drive, including signer management, request sending, and status tracking. | Notion supports image and file blocks, so users can upload or embed an image that could be used as a signature image, but it is not a dedicated signature feature. | Adobe Acrobat on the web supports filling and signing documents, including typing, drawing, or uploading an image for a signature, with a focus on PDF signing workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct path inside spreadsheet editing on iOS and supports three signature sources: handwriting, camera capture, and Photos import. Distinct: The inserted signature stays close to spreadsheet layout and print use. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation focuses on inserting a signature image or signature line in Word documents, with less emphasis on a spreadsheet-focused mobile insertion path. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on electronic signature workflows and signer management for agreements, rather than placing a signature directly as spreadsheet content. | Compared with WPS: Notion can place images and files, but it does not provide a dedicated signature entry for spreadsheet editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is stronger for PDF fill-and-sign workflows, while WPS is more direct when the goal is to place a signature inside a spreadsheet and continue editing the sheet. |
