About This Feature
Overview
Insert Images is a built-in presentation feature in WPS Office for iOS. It helps you add local images, camera photos, and optional visual resources to slides so your presentation can include clearer examples and richer visual content.
Core tasks include:
- Insert one or more images from your photo library for slide illustration.
- Take a photo and insert it directly into the current slide.
- Reuse recently opened image files more quickly.
- Select image files from your device or cloud storage.
- Choose images from the built-in resource library when available.

This workflow is useful for classroom slides, field reporting, mobile presentations, and quick visual updates during editing.

| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides both a Tools path and bottom-toolbar shortcuts in iOS presentation editing. Distinct: It combines gallery, camera, recents, document, and library-based image insertion in one mobile workflow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides broad image sources, but the official guidance is centered on general document insertion rather than a presentation-focused dual-entry workflow on iOS. | Compared with WPS: Google offers multiple image sources, but its official guidance is broader across Docs and Slides instead of a dedicated mobile presentation editing flow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented toward page content and database media blocks rather than slide-based presentation image insertion. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF editing, and its mobile image insertion feature requires a subscription. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to add images to presentation slides quickly on an iPhone or iPad, WPS is organized around a mobile presentation editing workflow.
