Removing prefix from figure captions in LaTeX

Question

I'd like to make my own caption inside \caption{} in figures of LaTeX. How can I turn off the "Figure " prefix from the captions that appear?

Answer 1

First use the caption package and then use the command \caption* in this way

\usepackage{caption}
...
\caption*{some text}

instead of \caption{some text}

Logic is the same in avoiding numbering of sections and subsections and many other objects

\subsection*{Name of unnumbered subsection}
