About This Feature
Overview
Signature is a built-in signing feature in WPS Sheets on iOS. It lets you insert a handwritten signature or a signature image into worksheet content for contracts, statements, and other files that need visible sign-off.
This feature supports these main tasks:
- Add a signature from the Insert menu.
- Create a new signature by handwriting, camera capture, or photo import.
- Delete a signature that has already been inserted.
- Keep the signature visible in print output as part of the file content.
It is useful for mobile approvals, on-site confirmation, form sign-off, and other paperless workflows. The signature is inserted as an image, so you can resize it and place it where it fits the sheet layout.

| Capability Summary | WPS on iOS lets you insert a handwritten signature or signature image in a sheet, with support for handwriting, camera-based capture, photo import, and deletion after insertion. | Microsoft Word officially supports scanning a handwritten signature as an image and inserting it into a document, and it also supports signature lines. | Google Docs highlights eSignature workflows and reusable building blocks for content such as signatures, with a stronger focus on online collaboration. | Notion supports uploading and embedding images, files, and media in pages and databases, but it does not present a dedicated spreadsheet signature workflow. | Adobe Acrobat Help centers on PDF creation, editing, and signing workflows, with broader document-signing support around PDF files. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct signature entry point inside WPS Sheets on iOS for quick mobile insertion. Distinct: It combines handwriting, camera capture, and photo import in one flow for fast on-site signing. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft supports signature images and signature lines, but its official guidance is centered on Word documents rather than a mobile spreadsheet signing flow. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes eSignature workflows and collaborative documents, while WPS is more direct for placing a visible signature image in a sheet on iOS. | Compared with WPS: Notion is flexible for media blocks and embedded files, but it is not positioned as a dedicated sheet-signing tool. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is stronger for PDF-oriented signing and document workflows, while WPS is closer to the task of placing a signature directly in a spreadsheet on iOS. |

Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe also support related signature, media, or signing workflows, but their official guidance is more focused on documents, collaboration spaces, or PDF processing.
