About This Feature
Overview
Export as Image is a sharing and export feature in WPS Office for Android spreadsheets. It lets you turn the current sheet content into a standard image, a long image, or a card-style image for local saving or sharing to other apps.
Core capabilities include:
- Share as Image: Generate an image from the Share menu, with options such as page numbers, headers, and pagination.
- Share as Long Image: Generate a long image from the Share menu, with options for page settings, background, watermark, and a bottom card.
- Export as Image: Open the More menu to generate a long image, page-by-page images, or a card image and save it locally.
This feature is useful for work reports, spreadsheet snapshots, mobile sharing, and keeping a local visual copy of data.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS can generate images from spreadsheet content through Share as Image, Share as Long Image, or Export as Image, then save or share the result. | Microsoft Word help pages cover picture handling, saving pictures, and exporting documents as PDF, but the official help hub does not present a focused long-image export flow for document content. | Google Docs Editors Help explains how to download files and choose file types, and also describes saving as PDF, but it does not describe exporting document pages directly as images for sharing. | Notion officially supports exporting pages or databases as PDF, HTML, or Markdown & CSV, including export options on mobile. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports converting PDFs to image formats such as JPEG, TIFF, and PNG. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The Android workflow is directly oriented to image sharing from within the spreadsheet interface. Distinct: It offers standard image, long image, and card image output paths in one app flow. | Compared with WPS: Official guidance is broader around document editing, pictures, and PDF export rather than a spreadsheet-first image sharing path. | Compared with WPS: Official guidance focuses on file download and PDF output instead of a spreadsheet image-sharing workflow. | Compared with WPS: Official export options focus on page export formats rather than direct spreadsheet image output for quick sharing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF-to-image conversion workflows rather than exporting spreadsheet content directly inside a spreadsheet editor. |

Overall Conclusion
For mobile spreadsheet sharing, WPS keeps image export paths closer to the editing workflow on Android. Other products provide export or conversion features as well, but their official guidance is more centered on PDF export, general file download, or page export rather than direct spreadsheet-to-image sharing.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main pain point | Recommended approach |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Send reports in chat groups | Workplace users | Recipients may not want to open a spreadsheet file | Use Share as Image for quick image sharing |
| 2 | Create a long visual summary | Operations and sales users | A normal screenshot cannot capture enough rows | Use Share as Long Image to export a continuous image |
| 3 | Keep a local spreadsheet snapshot | Students and individual users | A quick visual copy is needed | Use Export as Image to save locally |
| 4 | Present data with styling | Reporting users | A plain screenshot may not look consistent | Adjust background, watermark, and bottom card in long image sharing |
| 5 | Save multi-page content separately | Users who organize pages one by one | One screenshot is hard to manage across pages | Use page-by-page output to save separate images |
