Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about WPS Office; open a topic page for more depth.
How do I download WPS Office on iPhone? Do I need to switch to a Chinese Apple ID?
No, there is no need to switch to a Chinese Apple ID. Just open the App Store with your existing overseas or Hong Kong/Taiwan Apple ID, search for WPS Office and install it. This is the international edition, clean and free of screen-filling ads. Note that paid subscriptions are usually tied to auto-renewal, so if you are only trying it out, remember to turn off automatic billing under Subscriptions in iOS settings to avoid being charged for a full year when the trial ends.
Can I find WPS in the App Store with a Hong Kong Apple ID?
Yes. WPS Office is listed in App Stores worldwide, so open the App Store with your Hong Kong Apple ID, search for WPS Office and install it. There is no need to switch to a Chinese account. What you get is the clean international edition. The Hong Kong personal and family editions are permanently free of annual fees, offer Traditional Chinese, and are advertised as ad-free, making them a great fit for users in Hong Kong and Macau.
Can I download WPS Office with a Singapore Apple ID?
Yes. WPS Office is listed in App Stores across regions as the international edition, so open the App Store with your Singapore Apple ID, search for WPS Office and download it free. After installing, sign in with Google, your Apple ID or email to enable cloud sync. Stick to the official App Store listing and avoid hunting for installers on outside sites.
Which version comes up when I search for WPS Office in the App Store with a Taiwan Apple ID?
When you search for WPS Office in the App Store with a Taiwan Apple ID, you get the official international edition, listed in Taiwan as WPS Office - Smart AI Office Assistant (App ID 599852710). This is the clean international edition, so install it free directly without seeking out a separate installer. After installing, sign in with your Apple ID, Google or email to get started.
Is WPS Office listed on Google Play? How do I download it on an overseas phone?
Yes, it is listed. Search for WPS Office directly on Google Play and install it, looking for the package ID cn.wps.moffice_eng (the full international edition) or cn.wps.moffice_i18n (the Lite edition). You can also scan the QR code on the official site to download. We recommend sticking to the official store listing and never downloading cracked versions from unknown third-party sites, which can carry trojans.
Can the overseas App Store find WPS Office? What is it called?
Yes. On iOS or iPadOS, open the App Store, search for WPS Office and install it. In the Taiwan App Store it is listed as WPS Office - Smart AI Office Assistant (id 599852710). Stick to the official App Store as your source and do not sideload from unofficial channels.
What is the difference between the WPS international site wps.com and wps.cn?
This site, wpsofficepro.com, is the international and global edition: the interface is clean, there is no Docer store or screen-filling ads, and it does not push notifications when you open a file, making it ideal for overseas Chinese users. The trade-off is that there is no Chinese interface by default, so you have to add a Chinese language pack manually. The mainland edition includes Simplified Chinese built in but carries more ads and promotions. More importantly, the two account systems are not connected: a mainland account shows up as not found in the international edition, memberships have to be paid for again, and cloud documents are not shared. We recommend settling on a single edition from the start, with the international edition for overseas use.
Does WPS Office have a Linux version? Where can I download it?
Yes. WPS Office officially supports Linux, offering .deb and .rpm packages for distributions such as Ubuntu, CentOS and Deepin. Get the matching package from the download page at wpsofficepro.com. Always download from the official site and avoid third-party packages from unknown sources.
How do I install WPS Office on Ubuntu? Is there an official deb package?
Yes. WPS officially supports Linux and provides .deb and .rpm packages, with Ubuntu using the .deb. Get the .deb from the official download page, then double-click to install it through Software Center, or install it from the terminal with dpkg or apt. The official build also supports CentOS, Deepin and other distributions. Download from the official domain and avoid third-party packages from unknown sources.
My Android phone has no Google Play. How do I download WPS Office?
Without Google Play, the safest approach is to download the official apk from this site, wpsofficepro.com, or scan the QR code provided on the official site to install. Before installing, confirm you are on the official domain, and during installation your phone may ask you to allow installation from unknown sources. Be sure not to download from unknown third-party sites or use cracked versions: there have been cases of cracked builds carrying mining trojans. The official edition is free, so getting it from the official site is the most reliable.
Is the official apk download from the WPS Office site safe? Could it have a virus?
The apk downloaded from this site (wpsofficepro.com) is the official, safe edition; downloading the latest version from the official site keeps malicious code out. The real danger comes from third-party sites or cracked versions: the security firm Trellix once revealed cracked WPS builds bundling the XMRig mining trojan, disguised as a system process to mine in the background. The WPS personal edition is free to begin with, so download from the official domain and there is no need to take a risk with cracked versions.
The WPS site will not open overseas. Is it blocked? Are there other download points?
If it will not open overseas, the cause is usually a routing or DNS issue, so try switching DNS first. You can download from this site, wpsofficepro.com. On mobile, just search for WPS Office on Google Play (package cn.wps.moffice_eng) or the App Store. Be sure to trust only this site and the stores, and avoid third-party crack sites.
The WPS site keeps spinning and will not download overseas. What should I do?
First confirm the official domain, then troubleshoot: this site uses wpsofficepro.com. If the page will not load, try a more stable network or a different DNS (carrier routing can affect the connection) and try again. On mobile, the easiest route is to search for WPS Office in the App Store or Google Play and install it, and the official site often offers a QR code to scan for downloading too. Be sure not to turn to a third-party site or cracked version just because the official site will not open, since those sources have been exposed by security firms as carrying mining trojans.
Where can I download the Mac edition of WPS Office? Will it run on M1 and M2 chips?
Yes, it runs. The Mac edition of WPS Office supports both Apple Silicon (the M1 through M4 series) and Intel chips. You can download it from the download page at wpsofficepro.com, or simply search for WPS Office in the Mac App Store and install it. The four core components are permanently free.
Does WPS Office have a Windows version? How do I download and install it on an overseas computer?
Yes, it supports Windows 11/10/8/7 (32 and 64-bit). Go to the download page at wpsofficepro.com and click Free Download. The installer is tiny (about 5MB for the online installer), and it needs only about 200MB of disk space and a 1GHz processor to run. If your network is unstable, an offline installer is also available below the download button. For overseas Chinese users, we recommend the international edition, which is clean and free of screen-filling ads.
How do I download the WPS tablet edition? Is it good on iPad?
On iPad, just open the App Store, search for WPS Office and install it, with official native support for iPadOS; on Android tablets, install it from Google Play. The four core WPS components (Writer, Spreadsheets, Presentation and PDF) are permanently free, the experience is consistent across devices, and signing in with the same account lets you sync files in the cloud with your phone and computer. We suggest trying it yourself to confirm how it feels to use.
Downloading the WPS installer in Malaysia is extremely slow. Is there an overseas mirror?
Start with this site as your portal: wpsofficepro.com is the official overseas download point. On mobile it is even simpler: install directly from Google Play or the App Store, which is usually faster than fetching the computer installer. The computer installer is actually tiny (the official figure is about 5.1MB), so slowness is usually a routing issue you can solve by switching networks or DNS and trying again. Please do not turn to unofficial third-party sites or cracked versions for the sake of speed, as they carry a mining trojan risk. A dedicated Malaysia mirror is not listed in the official materials, so this needs to be confirmed in practice.
Does the iPad edition of WPS Office have the same features as the phone edition?
WPS officially supports iPadOS, and the iPad edition belongs to the mobile platform alongside the iPhone edition, with closely matching core features (opening and editing Word/Excel/PPT/PDF and cloud sync). With its large screen and a keyboard or stylus, the iPad makes editing and viewing files noticeably more comfortable than on a phone, closer to a lightweight desktop experience. That said, the most complete and fine-grained features still come from the computer edition. For everyday documents and signing PDFs, the iPad edition is more than enough.
Are the features of the WPS Linux edition much more limited than the Windows edition?
The features of the WPS Linux edition are not much more limited. The Linux edition has the same Writer, Spreadsheet, Presentation and PDF core features, and everyday documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs and Microsoft format compatibility all work normally, making it a fairly complete office suite on Linux. Overall the Windows edition is still the most fully featured, and the Linux edition may differ slightly on a few very specific advanced items or the pace of updates. For general office work and compatibility with Office files, the Linux edition is completely sufficient.
My overseas credit card payment for WPS Office failed and will not go through. What should I do?
A more reliable approach for overseas users is to switch to in-app purchases through the App Store or Google Play (using the payment method tied to your store account) to buy a WPS membership, sidestepping the cross-border issues of credit cards on the official site. If it still will not go through, try a different card or payment method, and confirm that the currency and region shown on the purchase page are correct. Take special note that free trials are often tied to auto-renewal, charging a full year automatically when they expire, and the official policy generally does not support 7-day refunds. Official troubleshooting materials for overseas credit card payment failures are not covered, so this is marked as needing confirmation in practice.
