About This Feature

Overview

Insert Image is an image insertion feature in WPS Office for Android spreadsheets. It lets you place an image directly into a cell so you can record product visuals, on-site photos, receipts, or supporting references in a structured table.

Core tasks include:

Insert a cell image from your photo gallery for product lists, receipts, or visual references.
Take a photo and insert it into a cell for field collection, inspections, or mobile reporting.
Import an image from the document list so it stays visible with the file across devices.

This feature is useful for mobile spreadsheet work that combines text and visuals. Inserted images are embedded in cells and adapt to cell size.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On Android spreadsheets, WPS can insert images as cell images from the camera, gallery, or document list.	Word supports inserting pictures and adjusting layout, position, and text wrapping, with a focus on document-page image objects.	Google Docs supports inserting images from a device, camera, cloud sources, or a URL, mainly for document and presentation image objects.	Notion supports uploading, embedding, arranging, and managing images in pages and databases through image blocks and Files & media properties.	Acrobat desktop includes image-related actions such as adding, modifying, and deleting images, mainly for PDF editing workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS places images directly inside spreadsheet cells on Android, which fits mobile data collection tables. Distinct: It supports camera, gallery, and document-list entry points in one workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Word documentation focuses on page layout and text wrapping rather than cell-embedded spreadsheet images.	Compared with WPS: Google supports multiple image sources, but its official guidance focuses on document-page image objects instead of images embedded inside spreadsheet cells.	Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented more toward page content and database media management than spreadsheet cell-based image entry.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is centered on PDF image editing rather than mobile spreadsheet data entry.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to capture image-based information quickly in an Android spreadsheet, WPS is better aligned with cell-based mobile entry. The other products also support image insertion, but their official workflows focus more on document layout, page content management, or PDF editing.
