| Capability Summary | In Android smart documents, WPS lets you open the Image entry from the bottom + menu, then add images from the gallery, camera, or cloud images. It also supports inserting another image to the right of an existing one. | Word Mobile supports inserting a picture from the camera through Insert > Pictures > Camera. | Google Docs on Android supports Insert > Image and lets users choose an image source. | Notion supports image blocks, common image formats, and image upload or embed workflows. | Acrobat on Android supports adding images to PDFs in Edit PDF mode. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines gallery, camera, and cloud image entry points in one mobile workflow. Distinct: after an image is inserted, you can continue adding another image on the right for side-by-side content layout. | Compared with WPS: the official page describes the camera insertion path, but does not show a cloud image entry or right-side continuous insertion in the same workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports image insertion on Android, but the official page focuses on the basic insert flow rather than cloud image entry or right-side continuous insertion. | Compared with WPS: Notion supports rich image blocks and formats, but its official help page notes upload size limits by plan. | Compared with WPS: Adobe supports adding images in PDFs, but the official Android help page states that adding images requires Acrobat Premium or Acrobat Pro. |
| Official Source | — | Insert picture from camera | Insert or delete images on Android | Images, files and media | Modify PDFs on Android |
Overall Conclusion: If you need to add photos, gallery images, or cloud images to a document on Android with a compact mobile workflow, WPS offers a focused path for that task. Other products also support image insertion, but their strengths are more tied to their own document, note-taking, or PDF scenarios.
