Step1:Open the Image Editor

Select the image in your document. Click the Edit Image button in the Picture Tools ribbon.

Unlike many office suites that lack native photo editing or require external software, WPS Office integrates a full range of photo filters directly into the document environment, allowing for seamless visual adjustments without leaving your workflow. This eliminates the need for separate applications, file exports, or re-uploads, ensuring that your editing process is integrated, efficient, and fully contained within your original project. This built-in functionality exemplifies WPS Office's commitment to providing a comprehensive, all-in-one productivity solution that addresses real-world document creation needs.
