About This Feature

Overview

Image Message is a collaboration chat feature in WPS Office for macOS that lets you send local images in a group chat or direct chat after previewing them before delivery. It supports opening the image-sending entry from the message composer, choosing a local image in the system file picker, and sending the image as a message with optional text.

Core tasks include:

Select an image: Open the image-sending entry from the chat composer and choose a local file.
Preview the image: Check the thumbnail in the compose area before sending.
Send the image: Confirm the content and send the image message, with optional text.

This workflow is useful for team communication, design feedback, work updates, and visual issue reporting.

Capability Summary	In chat on macOS, you can choose a local image from the send-file entry, preview it in the compose area, and then send it to a group chat or direct chat with optional text.	Microsoft Teams chat supports attaching a file or picture and provides previews for image attachments.	Google Chat lets users attach image files directly to messages and lists supported image formats in its official help page.	Notion does not provide the same instant chat image-message flow; its closer official capability is image or file attachments in comments and pages.	Adobe Express is closer to file sharing and collaboration invitations, not a dedicated chat image-message workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: image selection, preview, and sending are handled in one chat composition flow, which fits quick visual communication.	Compared with WPS: supports picture attachments and previews, but the flow is framed as a general file attachment process.	Compared with WPS: supports image attachments and documents supported formats and attachment limits.	Compared with WPS: focuses more on page content and comment attachments than chat-style image messaging.	Compared with WPS: focuses more on collaborative editing and file sharing than sending images inside a chat composer.

Overall Conclusion

If your main goal is to choose, preview, and send an image directly inside a chat window, WPS Image Message fits that workflow well on macOS. Other products provide attachment, comment, or collaboration-sharing features, but their paths are not the same as a chat-first image message flow.
