About This Feature

Overview

WPS Image is the image handling feature in WPS Sheets on iOS. It helps you add photos to a worksheet, place visual references next to data, and organize image-based content directly in a spreadsheet.

Core capabilities include:

Insert images from Camera, Album, Recent, or Document.
Open Image Editing from the floating toolbar after selecting an image.
Move an image by dragging it and resize it with control points.
Check whether some icon materials are marked for membership before using them.

This feature is useful for product lists, field records, report annotations, and mobile spreadsheet editing with pictures.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports inserting Floating Image or Cell Image in WPS Sheets on iOS. Image sources include Camera, Album, Recent, and Document. You can also edit the image from the floating toolbar and adjust position and size in the sheet.	Microsoft Support says users can select Insert > Pictures and choose This Device, Stock Images, or Online Pictures. Users can resize a picture by dragging a corner handle and move it when it is not inline with text.	Google Docs Help says users can insert images from Upload from computer, Stock & web, Drive & Photos, Camera, or By URL. It also provides layout, position, and size options for images in documents.	Notion Help says images can be added as page blocks or through a Files & media property in databases. Users can upload, drag and drop, embed by URL, and resize or arrange images.	Adobe Acrobat Help says users can add images to PDFs and edit image objects, including replacing, moving, aligning, and resizing them in PDF workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS distinguishes between Floating Image and Cell Image in a mobile spreadsheet, which is useful when you want images to stay with cell-based content. Distinct: image sources cover direct capture, local photos, and cloud-related entries such as Recent and Document.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance here focuses on document-style picture insertion and text wrapping, rather than a spreadsheet workflow with a separate Cell Image mode.	Compared with WPS: Google's official guidance emphasizes image layout and positioning in documents, but does not describe switching between floating and cell-based image display in a spreadsheet.	Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on page blocks and database media management, so its image workflow differs from cell-based spreadsheet organization.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF editing workflows rather than placing images as spreadsheet content inside or above cells.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to manage pictures directly inside a mobile spreadsheet, WPS provides an image workflow that is closely tied to sheet editing. Other products are better aligned with document layout, workspace content blocks, or PDF editing, depending on the task.
