About This Feature

Overview

Create New Document is a document creation feature in WPS Office for iOS that helps you start new content quickly on an iPhone or iPad. You can begin with a blank page, use a template, import a file, convert a scanned image into an editable document, or generate a first draft with AI.

Core tasks include:

Create a blank document: start editing right away for quick notes, drafts, and mobile work.
Create from a template: browse or search templates to start with a ready-made structure for resumes, contracts, reports, and similar documents.
Create by importing a file: open a local, recent, or cloud file and continue editing it.
Create by scanning an image: recognize text from a photo or image and turn it into an editable document.
AI New: enter your request and generate a first draft for outlines, explanations, and everyday writing tasks.
