About This Feature
Overview
Image and Text Message is a chat feature in WPS on Windows that lets you send a picture together with a text description as one message card. You can choose an image first, add explanatory text below it, and then send both parts together after checking the content.
Core capabilities include:
- Select an image: Open the picture sending entry from the message editor and choose a local image file.
- Add explanatory text: Enter supporting text below the image so recipients can understand the context more quickly.
- Preview and send: Check the image and text together before sending the message card.
This feature is useful for screenshot explanations, issue reporting, progress updates, and visual information sharing.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Select a picture in chat, add explanatory text, and send it as one image-and-text message card. | Teams chat supports sending files, pictures, or links in a message, and image attachments can appear with message content. | Google Chat supports typing a message and attaching images or other files in the same conversation flow. | Notion supports image blocks and comments on content blocks, including image-related discussion, but it is not a dedicated chat image-and-text card workflow. | Adobe Express supports combining images and text in a design, but it focuses on content creation rather than sending a chat message inside a conversation. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The image and its explanation are completed in one sending flow. Distinct: It is better suited to quick screenshot sharing with context inside a chat. | Compared with WPS: Teams supports picture attachments and message content, but the official guidance is centered on general attachment sending and preview. | Compared with WPS: Google Chat supports image attachments with typed messages, with more emphasis on file sharing in chat. | Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented toward page collaboration and comments instead of a real-time chat card for image-plus-text sending. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Express is oriented toward design editing and export, not an in-chat sending flow. |
| Official Source | — | Send a file, picture, or link in Microsoft Teams | Send and share files in Google Chat messages | Comments, mentions and reactions | Add and edit text |
Overall Conclusion
WPS Image and Text Message is more focused on the common chat need of sending a screenshot together with a short explanation in one place. Microsoft Teams and Google Chat also support image attachments with message text, but their official guidance is broader and attachment-oriented. Notion and Adobe are better matched to page collaboration or visual design workflows than to the same chat message pattern.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main pain point | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Screenshot issue reporting | Team members, support staff, testers | A picture alone does not explain the issue clearly | Send the screenshot together with a short problem description |
| 2 | Progress updates | Project members, managers | Separate image and text messages are harder to review | Combine the progress image and explanation in one message |
| 3 | Result sharing | Trainers, coworkers | Recipients may miss the key point in the image | Add a short explanation below the image to highlight the focus |
| 4 | Material sharing with context | Operations, admin, support teams | Shared images often need extra context | Use one image-and-text card to show both the visual and the note |
| 5 | Group reminders | Group members | Multiple separate messages are easier to miss | Put the visual and the reminder text into one message card |
