| Capability Summary | During a slideshow, WPS lets you open magnification from the bottom toolbar, shows a navigation window in the lower-right corner, and supports zooming in, zooming out, restoring the original size, and dragging the red frame to move across the slide. | PowerPoint provides slide magnification in Slide Show view. Microsoft states that presenters can magnify slide content to 200%, continue up to 400%, drag to another part of the enlarged slide, and press Esc to return to standard view. | Google Slides supports full-screen presenting, presenter view, annotations, and slide navigation during a presentation. Google also documents zoom controls for Slides in the editor view, but its help pages do not describe a dedicated slideshow navigation panel for magnified slide regions. | Notion Presentation Mode turns a page into a fullscreen slide deck with automatic zoom-to-fit layout, slide navigation, and Present from here. It is page-based presentation mode rather than a slide-region magnifier. | Adobe Acrobat supports PDF presentation setup with full-screen mode, initial magnification, page layout, and page transitions. Its presentation guidance focuses on document view settings instead of live magnification of a slide region during a slideshow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the magnify entry is directly available from the slideshow toolbar. Distinct: after zooming in, WPS shows a separate navigation window so you can keep presenting while moving across the enlarged area. | Compared with WPS: PowerPoint also supports magnifying and dragging across the slide, but Microsoft’s help page focuses on the magnifier workflow and does not describe a separate navigation window. | Compared with WPS: Google’s official guidance emphasizes fullscreen presentation, presenter tools, and editor zoom controls, but does not describe a slideshow magnification panel for moving around an enlarged slide area. | Compared with WPS: Notion is designed for presenting page content in fullscreen with zoom-to-fit layout, so it is less focused on enlarging a local area of a single slide during a live slideshow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented toward PDF presentation setup and initial view control, rather than quick local magnification inside a slide presentation workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
