About This Feature
Overview
WPSArt is a smart graphics feature under the Insert tab in WPS Slides on macOS. It helps you add visual content to a presentation quickly and adjust the display through a settings panel.
Its core tasks include:
- Use WPSArt: Open the insert entry, add smart graphics, and apply them to the current slide.
- Advanced settings: Open the More Settings panel, adjust advanced parameters, and review the live preview.
