Copy & Paste image instead of image url on Safari

Whenever I copy an image on Facebook web on Safari (by right click/double tap on track pad and select Copy Image) it always paste the image url (on the same Safari tab), not the image per se.


And when I paste that image on others webpage (ex: Google Doc) and app (Notes), it will paste the whole image again.


Is this subject for the Facebook webpage only and how to fix this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

Hello Châu85,


Thanks for asking about copying an image from Facebook.


When we secondary click, or you can hold the Control key, a few options pop up. Likely, the double tapes saving the first option in the menu, which is Download Linked File. Thus the link.


Instead, try Save Image As or the Save Image to Downloads option.


Does the same issue occur in other pages? If not, this is the way Facebook (and some other third-party websites) encode their pictures.


Thanks.
