Windows 10: Unzipped file (photo with tags) converted to pdf, replaced original, and text for photo lost

Hello

I was sent a photo in a zipped file that had tags attached to the people in the photo to identify them.

I needed to forward this photo on, did so, but the recipient doesn't see the text in the tags, just the circles with blank.


Now when I tried to look at it in my download file, it takes me to a pdf version that doesn't show the text.

When I look at it in the original email attachment, the tags by the people are there, but the text for the tags is to the left of the photo and not in the same order (so I can't identify which name belongs to who.)


Can you help me to fix this?

:)
