About This Feature

Overview

Crop Image is a built-in picture editing feature in WPS Office for iOS. It helps you remove unwanted picture margins, adjust the visible area of an image, and keep document layouts focused on the most important content. You can enter crop mode from more than one entry point, and you can also clear a crop to restore the full image view.

Core tasks include:

Open crop mode from Tools under the Picture tab for a full editing flow.
Open crop mode from the floating edit bar for quick picture adjustments.
Open Crop Picture directly from the bottom toolbar for faster access.
Use Clear Crop to restore the image to its previous visible state.

This feature is useful for document layout cleanup, class materials, report illustrations, and quick mobile editing. It helps reduce visual distractions and makes key content easier to highlight.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On iOS, you can select a picture, enter crop mode, drag crop handles, use a slider to scale the image proportionally, and clear the crop to restore the original visible area.	Microsoft Office supports picture cropping from picture formatting controls and lets users drag crop handles to adjust the visible area. Desktop guidance also notes that cropped areas can be removed from the underlying image in desktop apps.	Google Docs on iPhone and iPad does not provide in-document image cropping in Docs. Google’s official help states that cropping a Docs image requires docs.google.com on a computer, while mobile cropping is available in Google Slides.	Notion supports Crop image for media blocks, lets users save the cropped result, and also supports masking an image into a shape.	Acrobat supports modifying image objects inside PDFs, including cropping an image by dragging selection handles. Adobe also provides page-cropping tools for adjusting the visible area of PDF pages.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: direct image cropping inside an iOS document workflow. Distinct: multiple entry points and Clear Crop support make repeated mobile layout adjustments easier.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft’s official guidance is centered more on desktop or general Office workflows, with less emphasis on multiple iOS in-document crop entry points.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs has a clearer limitation on iOS document editing because image cropping for Docs must move to a computer or to Google Slides.	Compared with WPS: Notion cropping is oriented more toward media blocks in pages rather than document-layout picture editing.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on PDF editing and object-level adjustments, which fits PDF workflows but is less direct for everyday document illustration layout.

Overall Conclusion
WPS provides a direct picture-cropping flow for iOS document editing, which fits users who want to adjust image framing on mobile devices without leaving the document. Compared with tools that focus more on desktop workflows, media blocks, or PDF editing, WPS is better aligned with quick document layout adjustments on iPhone and iPad.
