About This Feature

Overview

Insert Image in WPS on iOS is a built-in spreadsheet feature for adding a local photo, a newly taken picture, or an image from documents into a selected cell.

Its main capabilities include:

Insert a cell image: add a picture directly into the selected cell for product lists, record sheets, and visual data tables.
Import from multiple sources: choose a picture from Camera, Photos, or Documents.
Keep the image inside the cell: the inserted image is displayed within the cell for easier table-based review.

Typical use cases include product tracking, field records, and mobile spreadsheet updates.

It helps keep images aligned with spreadsheet data and reduces the need to switch between apps while editing on iPhone or iPad.

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Operating system	iPhone or iPad with one of the latest supported iOS versions
App version	The latest version of WPS Office is recommended
Network	No mandatory network connection is required for local photos or camera capture; document-based import works more smoothly with network access

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In WPS spreadsheets on iOS, you can open Insert and choose Cell Image, then add a picture from Camera, Photos, or Documents so the image stays inside the selected cell.	Microsoft Word officially supports inserting pictures, resizing them, and moving them. Microsoft also documents adding pictures to a file by using a mobile device, but the published guidance is centered on document editing rather than cell-based spreadsheet images.	Google Docs on iPhone and iPad lets users tap Insert and then Image to add a picture to a document or presentation. The official guidance focuses on standard image insertion rather than cell-embedded spreadsheet images.	Notion lets users upload, embed, replace, resize, and arrange images in pages, and also add images through the Files & media property in databases.	Adobe Acrobat lets users add images to PDFs and then adjust size, position, rotation, opacity, and related settings in a PDF editing workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS is aligned with spreadsheet cell image entry on iOS, so the picture stays tied to the target cell. Distinct: WPS provides Camera, Photos, and Documents as image sources in one mobile workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance emphasizes document picture insertion and layout handling, with less focus on images embedded inside spreadsheet cells on iOS.	Compared with WPS: Google's iOS guidance covers general image insertion, but it does not highlight a cell-embedded spreadsheet image workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented more toward page blocks and database media management than spreadsheet cell image entry on mobile.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is designed mainly for PDF page editing rather than spreadsheet cell image entry on iOS.

Overall Conclusion

If your main task is adding product photos, field pictures, or reference images directly into spreadsheet cells on iPhone or iPad, WPS fits that workflow more closely. The other products also support image insertion, but their official guidance is more focused on documents, page content, databases, or PDF editing.

3	Reimbursement or inventory logs	Admin teams, purchasing teams	Receipt or material images are hard to match with row data	Import a picture from Photos into the required cell
4	Reuse images from documents	Team members	Images already exist in documents and are tedious to download and upload again	Import an image from Documents directly into the spreadsheet
5	Mobile spreadsheet updates	Students, individual users	Spreadsheet updates need to be completed on a phone while away from a computer	Finish image insertion and spreadsheet editing on iOS in one app
