About This Feature
Overview
Clear Current Background is a presentation design feature in WPS Office for iOS. It removes the background already applied to the current slide and restores that slide to the default white background.
Core capabilities include:
- Clear the current slide background so you can reset one slide without changing the rest of the presentation.
- Keep other slides unchanged during the reset process.
- Support quick recovery through Undo if you clear the background by mistake.
This feature is useful when you want to unify slide styling, remove a temporary background design, or return one slide to a clean layout before applying a new look.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you clear the background of the current slide in iOS presentation editing and return it to the default white background. | Microsoft Word officially documents removing page background color through Design > Page Color > No Color, which focuses on document page backgrounds. | Google Slides officially documents changing the background color or image for one slide or an entire presentation, which focuses on replacing or applying backgrounds. | Notion officially documents adding page icons and cover images, which focuses on page covers rather than clearing a slide background. | Adobe Acrobat officially documents removing backgrounds from PDFs, which focuses on PDF page background handling. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: It targets the current slide directly and fits mobile presentation editing when you need a fast single-slide reset. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on document background color removal, not clearing the current slide background in a presentation workflow. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on changing a slide background color or image, rather than a dedicated command to restore the current slide to a default white background. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on page covers and icons, not slide-level background clearing in a presentation editor. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on PDF background removal, so the file type and editing scenario are different. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to remove the background from the current slide quickly on mobile, WPS is closely aligned with presentation editing on iOS. Other products also provide background-related features, but they are mainly centered on document pages, page covers, or PDF files rather than this slide-specific reset scenario.
