Smart Art in WPS Office is an intelligent design feature that reshapes textual information into intuitive, eye-catching visuals that strengthen your message

Whether your goal is to inform, persuade, or educate, Smart Art turns monotone text into engaging visual flows

Begin your process by opening the desired document in WPS Presentation or Writer and clicking on the Insert ribbon

Click on Smart Art to reveal the full collection of pre-designed visual templates

The Smart Art gallery categorizes templates into List, Process, Cycle, Hierarchy, Relationship, Matrix, and Pyramid—each tailored for distinct data structures

Select the visual format that most accurately represents your concept—use Process for linear sequences, Cycle for circular patterns, or Pyramid for tiered priorities

Once you select a layout, a text pane will appear on the left side of your screen

This pane allows you to type or paste your content directly

Smart Art intelligently reshapes the visual layout in real time to fit every new item you input

Use the Tab key to move items up in hierarchy and wps官网 Shift+Tab to push them down, refining the visual logic

Once your text is in place, use the Smart Art Tools panel at the top to refine your visual

The Design tab gives you control over color schemes, ready-made templates, and the ability to swap layouts while preserving all your text

Fine-tune every component with the Format tab: adjust fill, stroke, glow, perspective, and other visual properties for a polished finish

Smart Art excels at turning intangible ideas into clear, visual metaphors that stick with your audience

Replace a wall of text describing interlinked issues with a Relationship diagram that maps their connections and effects

Use a Pyramid to illustrate what’s essential at the foundation and what rises as a priority

Keep your design audience-aware: prioritize legibility, use contrast strategically, and avoid visual noise that competes with your message

Enable animations to reveal diagrams progressively—this enhances storytelling and maintains audience focus

Design should serve understanding, not distract from it

When the layout feels cluttered, trim down entries or break the diagram into two or more focused visuals

Smart Art is not just a graphic tool—it is a storytelling aid that helps structure information logically and memorably

Let your content guide your layout, and your layout amplify your message, creating visuals that linger in your audience’s mind

Dedicate time to testing various templates and themes—what looks good may not always communicate clearly
