Showing or hiding title attributes in the Windows 11 Photos app lets you control the extra text that appears on your photo thumbnails.

These title attributes, like “This PC” or “OneDrive,” simply tell you where your photos are saved. If you find these labels distracting, hiding them helps clean up the gallery view so you can focus just on your pictures.

This simple setting lets you decide if you want to see these location details next to your photos. Turning them off removes the text labels from your image previews.

⚡ Quick Answer

Open the Photos app, click the Settings gear icon, go to Personalization, and toggle “Show gallery title attributes” On or Off. This option controls whether file locations appear beneath your photo thumbnails.

Showing or hiding gallery title attributes in the Windows 11 Photos app is done by changing a setting directly within the app. This lets you control what extra details appear below your photos in the gallery view.

  1. Open the Photos app from your Start menu.
