However, when someone shares a photo, the “?fbid=#” part of the URL takes you to the original poster’s image page when attached to “/photo.php” (/photo.php/?fbid=#). Copying the Facebook ID from the image URL, such as “ ?fbid=6456722346656323” and going to “ ?fbid=6456722346656323” does the same thing.
You can also use the domain to obtain the image’s ID number to reach the original profile.įor instance, if one of your friends reposts a photo from one of their albums or bulk posts, Meta shows that “this photo is from a post” and provides a link to their original post that included it. The Facebook Photo ID number process does not deliver source information in most circumstances, but Meta provides a link on Facebook to the original post from which an image came.
