How to change screenshot shape in WPS on Windows after taking a screenshot?
- After you complete one screenshot and enter editing mode, look for the shape selection area below the toolbar.
- Click the shape you want, such as Rectangle, Circle, Rounded Rectangle, or Freeform.
- WPS starts screenshot capture again with the new shape, so you do not need to save the current screenshot first.
When should I use a freeform screenshot in WPS on Windows?
- Freeform capture works well for irregular areas, such as special icons, non-standard diagrams, or interface sections that need less surrounding background.
- Draw the path along the edge of the target area.
- After the capture is complete, you get a more focused result for presentations or instructional documents.
What is the difference between Rounded Rectangle and Rectangle?
- A rectangle screenshot keeps straight corners and works well for regular interfaces, tables, and window content.
- A rounded rectangle screenshot adds rounded corners for a softer visual result.
- If you want a more consistent page style or a better fit for presentation design, choose Rounded Rectangle first.
