About This Feature

Overview

Export Image is a spreadsheet feature in WPS Office for iOS that turns the currently selected cell or cell range into an image, making it easier to share table content in chats, social apps, or your photo library.

Core tasks include:

Export the current selection as an image: Select cells in a spreadsheet and generate an image from the floating toolbar.
Share or save the image: After export, press and hold the image to share it or save it to Photos.

This is useful when you want to share part of a spreadsheet quickly, preserve the current visual layout, or send content in a format that is not meant for direct editing.

Compare with Alternatives

Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS can export the currently selected spreadsheet range as an image and then let you share or save it.	Microsoft Support explains how to save an existing picture or graphic as a separate file in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.	Google Docs Editors Help explains how to download a file or print it as PDF, but it does not describe exporting a selected spreadsheet range directly as an image.	Notion officially supports exporting pages or databases as PDF, HTML, or Markdown & CSV, rather than exporting a selected table range directly as an image.	Adobe Acrobat supports exporting images from PDFs to separate image files and focuses on PDF content extraction or conversion.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS focuses on turning a selected spreadsheet range into an image directly on iOS; Distinct: after export, you can press and hold the image to share it or save it to Photos.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official workflow is centered on saving existing graphics or objects, not on converting a spreadsheet selection into an image in the same way.	Compared with WPS: Google's official guidance is centered on downloading the whole file or printing to PDF, so a direct spreadsheet-range-to-image workflow is not described.	Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented toward page-level or database export, not quick image output for a selected spreadsheet area.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is stronger for PDF-based export workflows, while WPS is more direct for lightweight spreadsheet selection sharing on mobile.

Overall Conclusion

If you want to turn part of a spreadsheet into an image and share it quickly on iOS, WPS provides a more direct path for that task. The other products also provide export-related features, but their official workflows are more focused on full-file export, page export, or existing image objects.
