Facebook not showing captions etc
« on: May 17, 2016, 11:28:13 AM »
Is there any reason Facebook isn't showing captions etc? I'm exporting an images from Lightroom. I've checked the image in PM and the caption is in the file.

Thanks Jon

Facebook strips metadata on purpose.

Google "facebook strips metadata" and you'll see all kinds of people talking about this problem.

Please ask your friend how they do it and tell us all how they keep their metadata!

Thanks,

Facebook does keep captions and descriptions for some images, but I can't figure out why either.  Photos in an album seem to have captions while straight posts do not.

I have an answer!!

If you upload an image to a timeline, no data is uploaded. If you upload to an album, captiones are included.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Please complain to Facebook.  Photo Mechanic does not remove any of your data.
