WPS Office
by Kingsoft Office Software • • Office Suites
WPS Office is an office suite from Kingsoft Office with Docs, Sheets, Slides and PDF apps that open Microsoft formats on Windows, Mac, Linux, mobile and web.
WPS Office is an office suite for people who write documents, build spreadsheets, present slides and work with PDFs, and who need those files to open the way Microsoft Office made them. It answers the problem of a second computer, a Linux laptop or a phone that has no Office licence and still has to handle a DOCX or an XLSX without breaking the layout. Kingsoft Office Software, founded in 1988, makes it and sells it from wps.com as one product with one account, one download and one pricing page. The suite is four apps under one launcher. WPS Docs is the word processor, WPS Sheets the spreadsheet app with functions such as VLOOKUP across sheets, and WPS Slides the presentation app with a template library behind it. WPS PDF edits the text, images and links inside a PDF, converts Word, Excel and PowerPoint files to PDF, turns images into PDFs, reads scanned text with advanced text recognition and applies an electronic signature. WPS Cloud stores files and keeps them in sync, so a document can be shared, co-edited and commented on with every change updated in real time. WPS AI runs inside Writer, Spreadsheet, Presentation and PDF as one office copilot that drafts, calculates, summarizes and translates, with AI Spell Check, AI Syn Translator, WPS AI Photo, WPS AI Slides and Chat with PDF among its tools. It installs on Windows, Mac and Linux, including an offline installer, runs as apps on Android, iOS and iPad, and opens in the browser as an online editor. WPS Office suits home users, students and freelancers who want a full suite without a subscription to start with, and small groups who share one plan. It is built for anyone whose colleagues, clients or teachers send Microsoft Office files, and for Linux users who have no native Office install at all. Freelancers who sign contracts and correct PDFs get that work done in the same suite. It is bought per user with a Standard edition at no cost, a Pro+ tier for one user and a Sharing Plan for two or more. On a Mac it is the editor that opens a client's DOCX intact, on a Linux desktop the spreadsheet that reconciles a budget, and on a phone the PDF tool that fills in and signs a lease. Files sit in WPS Cloud so the same document opens on a desktop app in the morning and in the browser in the afternoon, and a co-editing link brings a colleague into the same sheet. It sits beside Microsoft Office rather than replacing its file formats, reading and writing DOCX, XLSX and PPTX so that documents move back to Office users without conversion.
