How to Get an Image as a Caption on Facebook
Many users post albums of photos to their Facebook profiles to share images with their friends and family. You can also add captions to the photos to explain what is happening or highlight a funny joke. Sometimes posting a small relevant image in the caption is preferable to writing out a caption. However, Facebook only allows text in captions. To get an image in a caption, upload the image online so you have a direct link to it. Then paste the image as the caption. Those browsing the photo album can later open the link in their Internet browser and see the caption image.
