About This Feature
Overview
Image Description lets you add optional text to an image, including a title and a longer description, and saves that information as part of the image properties in WPS Presentation.
Core capabilities:
- Add a title: Enter a short name for an image so it is easier to identify.
- Add a description: Enter more detailed text to record image information.
- Save the text as image properties: The text is stored with the image properties instead of appearing directly on the slide canvas.
This feature is useful for presentation asset management, teaching materials, and accessibility-related content support. It helps distinguish similar images and preserve more context for important visuals.
