Overview

This article discusses the appearance of Amazon AWS links under image-only posts on personal Facebook pages and provides a workaround for sharing images without these links. It explains that the issue arises from Facebook's internal processes, which automatically pull the image URL when sharing to personal pages, and suggests sharing from a phone or to a business page as solutions.

Information

When sharing an image-only post (a post that does not contain a link/URL, only a photo) to a personal Facebook page from your computer, an Amazon AWS link appears below the image. The shared post looks like this:

This occurs because of Facebook's internal processes which only allow URLs to be shared to personal pages from the web. Due to this restriction, when sharing an image-only post, Facebook will pull the URL of the image. Clicking on the link under the image will take you to a page that includes only the image.

Sharing Images to Facebook Without a Link

If you would like to share images to Facebook without the accompanying link, there is a workaround available. You can share the image directly from your phone instead of using a computer, or you can share it to a Facebook business page rather than a personal page. By doing either, the image will be posted without the link, resulting in a cleaner look similar to the example shown below.

FAQ

Why does an Amazon AWS link appear under my image-only Facebook post?

The Amazon AWS link appears because Facebook's internal processes automatically pull the URL of the image when sharing to personal pages from the web.

How can I share an image to Facebook without the accompanying Amazon link?

You can share the image directly from your phone or to a Facebook business page instead of a personal page to avoid the link appearing.
