About This Feature
Overview
Export as Image is a built-in export and sharing feature for spreadsheets in WPS Office on iOS. It lets you turn the current spreadsheet content into an image file so you can save it locally or share it with others more easily.
Core capabilities include:
- Generate a long image or card-style image from the Share entry.
- Select a sheet area and generate a long image for sharing.
- Use the More menu to export an image directly and save it locally.
This feature is useful for work updates, data snapshots, mobile sharing, and social posting. The generated image keeps the current layout style. When the spreadsheet contains more content, processing may take longer.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS on iOS can generate a long image or card-style image directly from spreadsheet content, then save or share it. | Microsoft Support describes saving a picture, chart, shape, or other graphic as a separate image file, but does not describe exporting a full spreadsheet page directly as a long image. | Google Docs Editors Help describes downloading files and exporting copies, but does not describe directly turning a spreadsheet page into a long image in Docs or Sheets. | Notion Help Center describes exporting content as PDF, HTML, or Markdown & CSV, but does not describe direct page export as an image. | Adobe Acrobat Help describes converting PDF files into image formats such as JPG, PNG, or TIFF, mainly through a PDF-based workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: direct image export is available inside the mobile spreadsheet workflow; Distinct: both long-image and card-style image output are available for quick sharing. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow focuses on saving existing graphics as image files rather than turning spreadsheet pages into share-ready long images. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow focuses more on file download or export formats, so image-style sharing is less direct. | Compared with WPS: the official export path is better suited to page or workspace export, not instant spreadsheet image sharing. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow usually starts from a PDF and then converts it to an image, which adds extra steps. |
| Official Source | — | Save a picture or other graphic as a separate file | Create, view, or download a file | Export your content | Convert PDFs to image formats in Adobe Acrobat |
Overall Conclusion
If you want to turn spreadsheet content into a share-ready image on iOS, WPS provides a more direct path inside the spreadsheet interface. Other products also support export or conversion, but their official workflows are more focused on saving embedded graphics, downloading files, or converting from PDF.
