Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports creating a blank presentation or an online-template presentation from the File menu, and also supports adding new slides with different layouts from the Home tab. | PowerPoint supports starting from a blank presentation and creating a new presentation from saved templates or standard templates. | Google Slides supports starting from the template gallery and inserting template slides into an existing presentation, while also letting users change themes and layouts. | Notion offers duplicable public templates and presentation-style templates for page-based content organization, but it is not a traditional slide editor. | Adobe Express provides a presentation template library and lets users start from a template, then add pages, animations, and media. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS brings blank creation, template-based creation, and slide layout selection together in one desktop workflow, which is convenient for users who want to start editing quickly in a presentation maker. | Compared with WPS: PowerPoint places more emphasis on template files and slide master workflows, so the path is more template-centered for users who only want to start a blank deck quickly. | Compared with WPS: Google Slides has clear template and theme tools, but the workflow is more browser-based and online-first. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better for document-style presentation planning and template reuse than for traditional slide layout editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Express offers strong design-oriented template workflows, but it is more focused on visual design and content styling. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to start a new presentation quickly on macOS and switch between blank creation, template-based creation, and new-slide layout selection, WPS keeps these entry points in a more concentrated workflow. If your work is more focused on browser collaboration, template ecosystems, or design-heavy presentation creation, the other tools may fit those scenarios better.
