I recently read that images will look better on Facebook, when imported to Facebook as png's. Is there anyway to export as png from Lightroom CC? I have read of the this "Magic Export" plugin but can't seem to find it anywhere, nor can i confirm it's a viable option. I realize I can edit in PS and then save as png but it would be nice to export from LR as png.

      Are you using LR CC, The Cloud Centric version of LR or LR Classic CC (or some version of the Traditional version of LR)?

      Lightroom Classic CC Desktop.

      One is jpg and the other png and on Facebook, the png looks sharper and brighter in my opinion.

      Here's a link to my FB album. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10161329379110133&type=1&l=efdbdda3c1

      It will be necessary for you to use some other software to generate the PNG file. Lightroom will not do it.

      Lightroom does not export as PNG.

      As a Facebook user, I am skeptical that photos will look better with png output, my JPGs that I upload to Facebook look fine.
