Any way to export photo captions when exporting photos from iOS to Windows?

I’ve exported photos using several methods, and captions do not appear to be exported in IPTC metadata (or anywhere else for that matter.) Is there a utility for either iOS or Windows that can accomplish this?

Importing photo captions Captions I added to photos on my iPhone were not imported with those photos onto my iMac. My iPhone 11 is running iOS 14.7.1 and my iMac is running Big Sur v. 11.6. How can I import the captions from my phone to my iMac?

Transferring photos from iPhone to Mac Went on a trip recently and took over 1,000 photos and videos on my iPhone 12, with most having some type of caption. When I uploaded them to the photos app on my mac, the captions are gone. I have been doing some digging and was curious if captions do not upload when the photo does. I deleted all the pictures off my phone so no longer have access to the old captions. Am I missing them captions on my mac or do they just not transfer for some reason? Thanks, Ben

Exporting photos from the MacOS Photos app as .heic Hello I recently decided to upload some photos from my iPhone XR(iOS 17) to my MacBook(MacOS 10.15). I connected the iPhone with a cable and imported them using the Photos app on the MacBook. All photos are Live and in the .heic format When I import them to Photos on the MacBook they appear as expected - Live photos, .heic files When I try to export them from Photos however is where the problem happens. If I drag and drop or export one photo it gets exported as .jpeg If I export unmodified original it get exported as 2 files - a .jpeg and a video file How do I get the original raw .heic files that I imported in Photos or am I just stuck with viewing them in the Photos app if I want the to be Live photos?

In an iPhone when you enter a caption and transfer it to a Mac the caption is termed as Description see the pic below.

Import to Photos app in Windows and see the metadata, if the same is present. I have no way of cross-checking that.
