About This Feature
Overview
Image Border lets you add a border around a picture in WPS Presentation and adjust how that border looks. After you select a picture, you can use the Picture Tools tab to apply theme colors, gradient border effects, other border colors, the color picker, line weight, and dashed line styles. You can also open More Settings and continue adjusting the line in the object properties pane.
Core tasks include:
- Add a picture border for a selected image.
- Customize the border with no line, solid line, or gradient line.
- Adjust the border from the Home tab.
- Open border settings from the right-click menu.
- Continue editing border styles from the side task pane.
This feature is useful for cover slides, product showcases, teaching materials, event posters, and slides where the main image needs clearer visual emphasis.
