About This Feature
Overview
Text Reflection Effect is a text effect in WPS Presentation that creates a mirrored reflection below text to simulate the look of water or a smooth reflective surface. It helps title text look more layered and spatial, and it works well for product names, brand slogans, section titles, and other decorative text, especially on dark or gradient backgrounds.
Core tasks include:
- Apply preset reflection styles: Quickly choose reflection presets with different sizes and spacing.
- Customize reflection settings: Adjust transparency, size, distance, and blur with live preview.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation, you can apply a reflection effect directly to text and adjust transparency, size, distance, and blur. | Word supports outline, shadow, reflection, and glow effects for text or WordArt. | Google Docs supports drawings, Word Art, and text boxes for basic text styling, but the official page does not describe a dedicated text reflection effect. | Notion supports text styling, colors, font display, and page formatting, but the official page does not describe presentation-style text reflection effects. | Acrobat supports editing PDF text and document elements such as headers and footers, but the official page does not describe a presentation text reflection effect. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Directly suited to presentation title text with reflection styling. Distinct: Preset styles and adjustable reflection parameters are both available in the same workflow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents reflection clearly, but the official page is centered on general text and WordArt formatting rather than presentation title styling. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses on drawing insertion and basic formatting tools, without an official reflection settings workflow on the cited page. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on document writing and workspace formatting rather than slide text effects. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF editing workflows rather than slide text styling effects. |
