About This Feature
Overview
WPS Image Message is a chat feature in WPS Office for Windows that lets you send local images in a group chat or one-to-one conversation after previewing them before delivery. It supports opening the image-sending entry from the message editor, checking a thumbnail preview in the compose area, and sending the image together with text.
Core capabilities include:
- Select an image: Open the image-sending entry from the message editor and choose a local image in the system file picker.
- Preview an image: Check the thumbnail preview in the compose area before sending.
- Send an image: Confirm the content and send it directly, with optional text in the same message.
This workflow fits work communication, project collaboration, issue reporting, and everyday file sharing.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports selecting a local image in a group chat or direct chat, previewing it in the compose area, and sending it as an image message with optional text. | Teams chat supports attaching a file or picture and can preview many attachment types in chat. | Google Chat supports attaching image files in messages, lists supported image formats, and provides shared media management in conversations. | Notion's closest official capability is comment attachments, where comments can include attachments and PNG files can display as inline images. | Acrobat's closest official capability is document sharing through PDF links and viewing, rather than native chat image messaging. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps image selection, preview, and sending in one chat flow. Distinct: The feature also supports sending text together with the image. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents picture and file attachments with preview, but the description is broader attachment sharing rather than a focused image-message flow. | Compared with WPS: Google documents image attachments and media management, with explicit format and size guidance. | Compared with WPS: Notion is closer to page or block comments with attachments, not a dedicated chat message stream. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is closer to PDF sharing and review workflows than chat-based image messaging. |
