About This Feature
Overview
Background Image or Texture Fill is a built-in background setting feature in WPS Presentation for Windows.

You can open it from the Design tab, or by right-clicking a slide thumbnail or a blank area in the editing canvas and choosing Format Background.
Core capabilities include:
- Set a picture background for the current slide.
- Set a texture background from available texture presets.
- Adjust display settings such as transparency, tile or stretch mode, offsets, scaling, alignment, and mirror type.
- Choose whether the picture rotates with the shape.

| Capability Summary | Lets you set a picture or texture as a slide background in WPS Presentation and adjust transparency, placement, offsets, scaling, alignment, mirror type, and rotate-with-shape behavior. | Word supports page background color and Fill Effects, including gradient, texture, pattern, or picture, but the official page focuses on document page backgrounds rather than presentation slides. | Google Slides supports changing a slide background to a color or image for one slide or the whole presentation. | Notion supports page icons and cover photos for pages, but it does not provide slide-level picture or texture background fill controls for presentations. | Acrobat supports adding backgrounds and watermarks to PDF pages, which is a different editing scenario from slide background design. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides slide-focused background editing with direct access from the top menu and right-click menu. Distinct: It also includes more detailed controls for transparency, tiling, offsets, scaling, alignment, and mirror settings in one panel. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance here is centered on document page backgrounds, so the scenario differs from slide background editing. | Compared with WPS: Google Slides officially supports background images and colors, but the documented controls are less detailed for picture placement and texture-style adjustments. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to page covers and visual page decoration, not presentation background fill editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's related feature is for PDF backgrounds and watermarks, not presentation slide background formatting. |

Overall Conclusion
If your goal is to apply a picture or texture background to presentation slides and fine-tune how it appears, WPS is more closely aligned with slide editing workflows. Other products offer background-related features too, but they may target document pages, page covers, or PDF pages instead of presentation slides.
