About This Feature
Overview
Icon Effect - 3D Rotation is a built-in WPS Presentation feature for setting 3D rotation effects on icons. You can use preset styles or custom parameters to change an icon’s spatial angle and perspective.
Core tasks include:
- Apply 3D rotation presets to quickly use parallel, perspective, or oblique styles.
- Customize 3D rotation settings, including preset, direction, X/Y/Z rotation, perspective, Keep text flat, and Distance from ground.
- Open object settings from the right-click menu for faster editing.
- Adjust the effect from the side property pane for continuous fine-tuning.
This feature is useful for cover-page icon styling, process-slide emphasis, key element highlighting, and more polished slide layouts.

| Capability Summary | WPS lets you apply 3D rotation presets to icons and adjust settings such as direction, X/Y/Z rotation, perspective, Keep text flat, and Distance from ground in object properties. | Microsoft supports rotating or flipping text boxes, shapes, pictures, and WordArt, and its 3-D Rotation options allow exact angle input. | Google Slides official documentation covers inserting and arranging text boxes, shapes, diagrams, and lines, with object arrangement and alignment, but no equivalent official 3D rotation workflow is shown for slide objects. | Notion supports page icons, uploaded custom icons, and page styling, but no official 3D rotation workflow is described for presentation-style objects. | Adobe Express supports rotating, scaling, nudging, or flipping images through Crop & Shape, and it also supports additional animation and visual editing options. |

Advantage: WPS focuses directly on icon objects in presentation editing, with both preset-based and parameter-based 3D rotation controls available from the top ribbon, right-click menu, and side property pane.
Overall Conclusion
WPS is more focused on icon appearance adjustments inside presentation slides, combining quick presets with detailed parameter controls. For slide design work that needs consistent icon angle, perspective, and spatial styling, WPS provides a more concentrated editing path.
