About This Feature
Overview
Image and Text Combination is a built-in insertion feature in WPS Presentation for iOS. It lets you insert a preset layout that combines an image and a text box, so you can build picture-and-text slide layouts more quickly.
Core capabilities include:
- Insert an image-and-text combination: choose a preset style and place it on the current slide.
- Choose a layout style: apply a ready-made arrangement such as image on the left, right, top, or bottom.
- Quickly edit an inserted combination: reopen the editing panel to update text or replace the image.
- Ungroup the combination: split the layout into separate image and text box objects for independent adjustment.
This feature is useful for lesson slides, event posters, product highlight pages, and report cover slides that need both visuals and explanatory text.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation on iOS, you can insert a preset image-and-text layout, then edit it again or ungroup it later. | Word provides picture positioning, text wrapping, and text boxes for document layout, but its official guidance focuses on arranging pictures within documents rather than inserting a preset slide-style image-and-text combination. | Google Docs lets users insert images and choose layout options such as In line, Wrap text, Behind text, and In front of text, but this is document image layout rather than a preset presentation combination block. | Notion supports image blocks, file and media blocks, and drag-and-drop arrangement of content blocks, but it does not provide a presentation-style preset image-and-text combination workflow. | Acrobat supports adding text boxes to PDFs and editing PDF content, but its workflow is centered on PDF editing instead of preset slide layouts that combine images and text. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a ready-made picture-and-text layout directly inside mobile presentation editing, with quick re-editing and ungrouping after insertion. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers flexible picture layout controls, but users usually arrange pictures and text boxes separately. | Compared with WPS: Google provides clear image layout options, but the workflow is aimed more at document formatting than slide layout presets. | Compared with WPS: Notion is flexible for block-based page composition, but it is not focused on slide-based visual layout presets. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is useful for PDF text box editing and annotation, but not for presentation page composition with preset image-and-text layouts. |

Overall Conclusion: If you want to build a picture-and-text slide quickly on iOS, WPS is more direct because it offers preset layouts inside presentation editing. The other products also support image and text arrangement, but their official workflows are mainly designed for documents, block pages, or PDFs rather than preset slide composition.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main challenge | How this feature helps |

| 2 | Event promotion pages | Marketing and operations teams | A single slide needs both visual impact and short copy | Choose a preset layout, then replace the image and text |
| 3 | Product highlight slides | Sales and product teams | Multiple slides need a consistent picture-and-text structure | Reuse the same combination style across slides |
| 4 | Report covers or transition slides | Students and office users | A polished layout is needed on mobile in a short time | Apply a preset combination and make small edits |
| 5 | Independent object adjustment | Advanced editors | Elements may need separate movement after insertion | Ungroup the combination and edit each object separately |
