About This Feature
Overview
Image Grouping helps you manage multiple pictures as one object in WPS Presentation, so you can move, resize, and edit them together. When you need to adjust one picture separately, you can ungroup the selection and restore each picture as an individual object.
Core tasks include:
- Group multiple pictures: Hold Ctrl to select multiple pictures, then group them from Picture Tools, the Home tab, or the floating toolbar.
- Ungroup pictures: Select a grouped object, then ungroup it from Picture Tools, the Home tab, or the floating toolbar.
This feature is useful for slide layout cleanup, grouped visual movement, picture-based page composition, and consistent resizing in presentations.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Image Grouping is well suited to presentation editing scenarios where several pictures need to stay aligned and move together. Microsoft and Adobe also provide mature object-grouping workflows, while Google Slides covers basic grouping needs. Notion is more focused on page content blocks than slide-object grouping.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Challenge | How This Feature Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Multi-picture layout cleanup | Presentation creators | Several pictures are scattered and easy to misalign during editing | Group pictures first, then move and resize them together |
| 2 | Moving visual assets as one unit | Teachers, students, and office users | Multiple pictures need to be moved to another area together | Treat several pictures as one grouped object |
| 3 | Editing one picture inside a group | Layout-focused users | One picture inside a grouped set needs separate adjustment | Ungroup first, then edit pictures individually |
| 4 | Consistent page scaling | Report and slide editors | Several pictures need to keep their relative positions during resizing | Group them and resize the whole set together |
| 5 | Faster access from different UI areas | Frequent editors | Finding the right command takes time in different editing states | Use Picture Tools, Home tab, or the floating toolbar based on the current view |
