About This Feature
Overview
Image Width in WPS Presentation lets you set the horizontal size of a picture precisely. You can change width on its own or combine it with aspect ratio controls to scale an image proportionally so it fits your slide layout more cleanly in WPS Office.
Core tasks include:
- Entering an exact width value directly in the Width box.
- Using the Size and Position or Object Properties pane for more detailed size settings.
- Keeping image proportions with Lock aspect ratio.
- Restoring the original size with Reset.
This feature is useful when you need to align multiple images, build a cleaner cover slide, or control spacing in a PowerPoint-style presentation layout.
