About This Feature
Overview
Image Fill in WPS Presentation on Windows lets you add fill effects to a selected picture and adjust them in more detail from the object properties pane. You can work with solid color, gradient, picture or texture, pattern, and slide background fill options.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Shape Fill menu from the Home tab and apply common fill options.
- Use theme colors, standard colors, gradient fill, and the eyedropper to set color effects.
- Use Picture or Texture and Pattern options for richer visual styles.
- Open More Settings to adjust fill options in the Object Properties pane, including No Fill, Solid Fill, Gradient Fill, Picture or Texture Fill, Pattern Fill, and Slide Background Fill.
- Open the same settings from the right-click menu or the side task pane, depending on your editing workflow.
This feature is useful for cover slides, product showcase pages, training materials, and presentation pages that need stronger visual styling.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS lets you use Shape Fill and the Object Properties pane to apply solid color, gradient, picture or texture, pattern, and slide background fill effects to pictures in presentations. | Microsoft 365 supports adding a shape first, then using Shape Fill > Picture to place an image inside the shape, and using Crop > Fill or Fit to adjust how the image appears. | Google Slides official help covers inserting shapes, setting fill color, inserting images, and using crop or mask tools, but it does not present the same object-properties-based picture fill workflow shown in WPS. | Notion supports page covers, icons, background colors, and uploaded images, but it does not provide presentation-style picture fill controls in a dedicated formatting pane. | Adobe Express provides Generative Fill for adding or replacing image content with text prompts, which is more focused on image editing and background generation. |
| Official Source | — | Crop a picture to fit in a shape | Insert and arrange text, shapes, diagrams, and lines | Style & customize your page | How to use Generative Fill to make your brand stand out |
Advantage: WPS keeps multiple picture fill options in the presentation editing interface and provides a More Settings entry for focused adjustments in the Object Properties pane.
Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical choice when you want to adjust picture fill effects directly inside a presentation. Microsoft uses a shape-fill and crop workflow, while Google Slides and Notion are more limited for this type of formatting. Adobe is more suitable for AI-assisted image editing and background generation.
