About This Feature
Overview
Shape Size is a built-in editing feature in WPS Presentation for Windows. It helps you adjust a shape’s height, width, and proportion, and also provides more detailed size settings in Object Properties.
Core capabilities include:
- Quickly resize a shape by entering height and width values in the Drawing Tools size area.
- Customize shape size with height, width, rotation, scale height, scale width, and Lock aspect ratio settings.

This feature is useful for slide layout cleanup, visual alignment, page design, and keeping multiple shapes at consistent sizes.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you enter exact shape height and width in Drawing Tools and use Object Properties for rotation, scaling, and Lock aspect ratio. | Word lets you resize shapes with sizing handles or enter exact Height and Width values in the Format tab, and it also supports Lock aspect ratio control. | Google Docs provides Size & Rotation settings for images, including size, scale, and rotation, but its public help content focuses on images rather than presentation shapes. | Notion supports resizing and arranging images and embedded media blocks, which works well for page layout but is not a presentation-shape sizing workflow. | Acrobat supports modifying images and objects in PDFs, but its editing workflow is centered on PDF page content rather than presentation shapes. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: It combines quick ribbon-based size entry with detailed Object Properties settings. Distinct: It includes rotation, scaling, and aspect-ratio controls in a presentation editing workflow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents similar exact size controls for shapes, but the referenced workflow is centered on Word document objects. | Compared with WPS: Google’s official guidance emphasizes image editing and image rotation, with less direct coverage of presentation-shape size controls. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on media blocks and page composition instead of parameter-based shape sizing in presentation slides. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on editing PDF objects and images, so the workflow is less aligned with slide-based shape formatting. |
| Official Source | — | Change the size of a picture, shape, text box, or WordArt in Word | Insert or delete images & videos | Images, files & media | Modify images in PDFs using Acrobat |
Overall Conclusion: For presentation work that depends on direct shape sizing and proportion control, WPS provides a focused workflow with both quick entry and detailed property settings. Microsoft also offers strong exact-size controls for document objects, while Google, Notion, and Adobe describe adjacent workflows that focus more on images, media blocks, or PDF objects.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main issue | How it helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Standardizing shape sizes across a slide | Presentation creators | Shapes look inconsistent on the page | Enter the same height and width values in the size area |
| 2 | Fine-tuning proportions | Design-focused users | Shapes may become stretched during editing | Turn on Lock aspect ratio in Object Properties |
| 3 | Combining rotation and scaling | Users building more complex layouts | Width and height changes alone are not enough | Adjust rotation and scaling in Size & Properties |
| 4 | Making quick visual adjustments | Everyday office users | Small edits should not require a complex panel every time | Use the size area for direct adjustments |
| 5 | Normalizing template elements | Team users | Template shapes do not follow the same size standard | Apply exact values to keep shape settings consistent |
