About This Feature
Overview
Thumbnail is a page preview feature in WPS Office for Android. It helps you scan the overall structure of a multi-page document and jump to a target page by tapping its page preview.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Thumbnail entry in Android documents, shows page previews, and lets you tap a thumbnail to jump to the corresponding page. | Word officially documents page thumbnails in the Navigation Pane Pages view for page navigation, and also supports heading-based browsing. | Google Docs highlights online creation, collaboration, pageless mode, and document tabs, but its official product page does not describe page-thumbnail navigation. | Notion officially supports heading structure and a table of contents for long-page navigation, but not fixed page-thumbnail browsing. | Acrobat officially provides Page Thumbnails in the navigation pane for page previews, quick page jumps, and thumbnail resizing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS offers a direct thumbnail entry inside Android document viewing, making page preview and page jumping straightforward on mobile. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance here focuses on Word for Windows, so mobile thumbnail navigation details are less explicit. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses more on collaboration and continuous editing, and the official page does not describe page-thumbnail navigation. | Compared with WPS: Notion organizes content through headings and table-of-contents navigation rather than page thumbnails. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered more on PDF viewing and page management, while WPS fits Office document reading on Android more directly. |
| Official Source | — | Navigation Pane in Word | Google Docs product page | Format your page | Page thumbnails and bookmarks in PDFs |
Overall Conclusion
WPS Thumbnail is practical for quickly locating pages in multi-page documents on Android. Compared with products that focus more on collaboration, heading-based navigation, or PDF-specific page management, WPS provides a more direct page-preview path for mobile document reading.
