About This Feature
Overview
Icon Effect - 3D Format is a WPS Presentation feature on Windows that lets you give icons a three-dimensional appearance and adjust settings such as depth, bevel, material, and lighting.
Core tasks include:

| Capability Summary | WPS lets you apply 3-D formatting to icon objects in presentations and adjust depth, bevel, material, and lighting. | Microsoft Office supports fills and effects for shapes or text boxes, including customizable 3-D options. | Google Slides supports image cropping, masking, borders, image adjustments, and object animations, but no matching official guidance was found for icon-specific 3-D formatting. | Notion supports page icons, covers, and uploaded visuals for page customization, but it does not provide presentation-object 3-D formatting. | Adobe Express supports visual editing and animation for icons, shapes, text, and images for design content creation. |

Advantage: WPS provides icon-focused 3-D format controls directly inside the presentation editing interface for quick static visual styling.
Overall Conclusion
WPS is well suited to users who want to format presentation icons with a static 3-D appearance directly in the editing workspace. Microsoft also offers 3-D-related formatting, but its official guidance is centered more on shapes and text boxes. Google, Notion, and Adobe focus on image adjustment, page decoration, or animation workflows rather than icon-specific 3-D formatting in presentations.
