Creating a digital yearbook in WPS Writer is a thoughtful and practical way to preserve memories from a school year, club activity, or organizational event

A digital yearbook eliminates printing costs, enables instant sharing across devices, and unlocks interactive elements that printed versions can’t offer

Even beginners can create a stunning digital yearbook with WPS Writer, thanks to its clean layout options and easy-to-use formatting controls

Begin by planning your structure

Your yearbook should contain key elements: a cover, table of contents, photos and profiles of teachers and students, summaries of key events, memorable quotes, and a heartfelt closing section

Organizing your content in advance will make the writing and layout process smoother

Next, open WPS Writer and create a blank document

Navigate to the Page Layout tab and choose a standard 8.5" x 11" paper size for optimal yearbook proportions

For a polished aesthetic, configure all margins to 0.75 inches—enough space to avoid text crowding while maintaining a tight design

Place a crisp, high-resolution photo on the cover that visually captures your community or occasion

From the Insert menu, upload your image, then stretch or shrink it to fit the layout perfectly

Apply a strong, centered headline in a classic font like Arial or Times New Roman, sized 28 pt or above for maximum impact

Include the year and the name of the group beneath it

Limit decorative font effects like shadows, outlines, or animations to preserve a clean, sophisticated tone

Following the cover, add an automatic table of contents

WPS Writer can automatically generate this if you use heading styles consistently

Label primary sections with Heading 1 and subsections with Heading 2 for clear hierarchy

Once all headings are styled, go to References >Table of Contents and choose a format

Any modifications to headings will instantly reflect in the TOC, keeping your index accurate

When designing individual profiles, use a consistent layout

Position a photo on the left or right margin, then list the individual’s name, position, and a brief personal summary

Break down accomplishments or hobbies into clear bullet lists for easy scanning

Break up text into small, digestible chunks to improve flow and engagement

Label images with a reduced font size and italics to set them apart visually

Use soft decorative borders or muted background tones under Page Design—just enough to elevate the look without overwhelming

Use the same color scheme and font pairing throughout to maintain cohesion

You can embed access points to multimedia content using hyperlinks, even if the files aren’t stored directly in the document

Store your clips on platforms like YouTube or Google Drive, then create a link labeled clearly, e.g., "View the Homecoming Parade"

This allows readers to click through from a digital copy

Place page numbers at the bottom center or outer edge by choosing Page Number from the Insert menu

Place your group’s logo or a short slogan in the footer of every page to strengthen brand identity

Review each section thoroughly before exporting the final version

Look for spelling errors, dead hyperlinks, and low-resolution graphics

Have colleagues, students, or friends evaluate the layout and clarity

Once satisfied, export your yearbook as a PDF by going to File >Export >PDF

The PDF output guarantees your design looks identical whether viewed on a phone, tablet, or printed copy

Save a copy in WPS Writer format as well for future edits

Send the PDF to students, parents, and staff via email, shared drives, or your school’s online platform

A digital yearbook created in WPS Writer not only captures the spirit of the year but also provides a lasting, accessible keepsake that can be revisited anytime, anywhere
