About This Feature

Overview

Insert Image is a built-in editing feature in WPS Office for iOS smart documents. It lets you add local photos, newly captured photos, or cloud images to a document so you can explain ideas more clearly and enrich page layout on mobile.

Key capabilities include:

Insert an image from the bottom toolbar at the current paragraph position.
Insert another image to the right of an existing image for side-by-side layout.
Add images from the photo library, camera, or cloud image options.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In iOS smart documents, WPS lets you insert images from the bottom toolbar, choose album, camera, or cloud image sources, and insert another image to the right of an existing one.	Word for iPhone supports adding an existing picture or taking a photo to add to a document.	Google Docs on iPhone and iPad supports Insert > Image to add a picture.	Notion supports image blocks, uploads, embedded image links, and Files & media properties in databases.	Acrobat mobile focuses on PDF workflows and provides image-related editing paths such as adding images to PDFs.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: WPS combines album, camera, and cloud image entry points in one document flow and also supports inserting another image to the right for continuous mobile layout.	Compared with WPS: the official guidance covers existing pictures and camera capture, but it does not show a cloud image entry or a right-side insert flow.	Compared with WPS: it supports standard image insertion, but the official page focuses on add or delete actions rather than side-by-side insertion in the same flow.	Compared with WPS: it is more block-based for page building and content organization, so the editing path differs from continuous document layout on mobile.	Compared with WPS: it is more suitable for PDF editing than general document writing and layout.

Overall Conclusion
WPS provides a direct image insertion flow for mobile document editing on iOS, especially when you need to keep writing and add visuals in the same document stream. If your main work is general document drafting with inline images, WPS offers a straightforward path; if your work centers on PDFs, Acrobat is a closer fit for that scenario.
