About This Feature
Overview
Image and Text Message is a messaging feature in WPS Office for macOS that lets you send an image together with supporting text in one chat message. After sending, the image and text appear as a combined card in the conversation, which is useful when you need to share a screenshot, reference image, or work material with context.
Core tasks include:
- Select an image: Open the image sending entry from the message editor and choose a local image file.
- Add supporting text: Enter a short explanation below the image so recipients can understand the context faster.
- Preview and send: Confirm the image and text, then send them as one message card.
This workflow works well for team communication, issue reporting, design feedback, and quick status updates when you want to send image with text in chat without splitting the explanation into separate messages.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In chat, you can choose an image, add supporting text, and send both together as one image-and-text card in a group or direct conversation. | Microsoft Teams lets users attach a file, picture, or link in a chat or channel message, and many image attachments include a preview. | Google Chat lets users attach image files and other files to a message and send them together with text in a conversation. | Notion supports image uploads, media blocks, captions, links, and file embedding in pages and databases, with a focus on structured content rather than live chat messaging. | Adobe Express lets users add and edit text in a design canvas, which is useful for creating image-based visuals with text overlays. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps image selection, supporting text entry, and message sending in one chat flow, which is practical for everyday collaboration. | Compared with WPS: Teams emphasizes attachments and previews, while the cited page does not describe a dedicated image-and-text message card flow in chat. | Compared with WPS: Google Chat supports image attachments with text, but its help page focuses more on file sharing and conversation attachments. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for page-based media organization, but it is not centered on instant image-and-text chat delivery. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Express is stronger for designing text on images, but it is not a team chat messaging workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Image and Text Message fits the common need to share an image and explain it in the same chat step. Other products provide image attachments, media organization, or image text design features, but their documented workflows are not the same as a chat-first image-and-text message flow.
Use Cases
| # | Scenario | Target Users | Core Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Send issue screenshots | Team members | A screenshot alone may not provide enough context | Send the image together with a short explanation in one message |
| 2 | Share design references | Designers and product teams | The image needs a short note to explain the intent | Add supporting text below the image before sending |
| 3 | Report progress visually | Project members | Results and conclusions are harder to follow when sent separately | Combine the result image and summary text in one card |
| 4 | Explain notices in group chat | Group chat participants | Important image details can be missed in a busy conversation | Use one image-and-text card to keep the visual and note together |
| 5 | Add context in direct chat | One-to-one collaborators | The recipient may need quick background information | Enter a short explanation before sending the image |
