WPS PDF Editor review
A low-cost PDF suite with broad editing, OCR, conversion, and AI tools across platforms.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WPS PDF Editor is a PDF workspace within WPS Office for individuals, students, professionals, and organizations. It combines PDF text, image, and link editing with annotations, page management, form filling, electronic signatures, compression, OCR, and conversion between PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and image formats. AI features add PDF summarization, translation, and question answering. The broad feature set makes it a practical fit for people who need more than a reader but want a single tool for common document tasks across web, desktop, mobile, Linux, and Chrome.
The freemium structure gives users a free plan with basic PDF features, a reader, 1 GB of cloud storage, 47 file formats, and 46 languages. WPS Pro+ costs $69.99 per year on annual billing, also shown as $5.83 per month, and adds full editing and conversion tools, advanced text recognition, electronic signatures, 20 GB of cloud storage, and essential AI tools with usage limits. The WPS Pro+ Sharing Plan costs $41.99 per user per year and provides Pro+ benefits for each member, 20 GB of private cloud storage per member, multiple users, and PDF, Office, AI, and template benefits. A 3-day free trial is available.
Its strongest case is breadth at a relatively low annual price: OCR supports searchable, editable scanned PDFs, while conversion, forms, signatures, annotations, and page organization cover a wide range of workflows. Cross-platform availability also helps users who move between devices. Buyers who only need basic reading may find the free plan sufficient, while those requiring advanced editing, OCR, signatures, or AI should consider Pro+. Teams can choose the Sharing Plan when multiple users need those benefits; users seeking only a lightweight reader may not need the broader paid feature set.
