If you want to upload photos and videos to Google Photos, you can use Backup and Sync at <a href="http://photos.google.com/apps">photos.google.com/apps</a>. <br /> <br /> <hr /> <b><i><br /></i></b> <b><i>Update</i> Aug. 2: </b>The album archive page for Picasa Web Albums is now <a href="https://get.google.com/albumarchive">live</a>. You can view, download, or delete your Picasa Web Albums data on this page.<br /> <br /> <hr /> <br /> Since the launch of Google Photos, we&#8217;ve had a lot of questions around what this means for the future of Picasa. After much thought and consideration, we&#8217;ve decided to retire Picasa over the coming months in order to focus entirely on a single photo service in Google Photos. We believe we can create a much better experience by focusing on one service that provides more functionality and works across mobile and desktop, rather than divide our efforts across two different products.<br /> <br /> We know for many of you, a great deal of care has gone into managing your photos and videos using Picasa&#8212;including the hours you&#8217;ve invested and the most precious moments you&#8217;ve trusted us with. So we will take some time in order to do this right and provide you with options and easy ways to access your content. We&#8217;ve outlined below some of the changes you can expect.<br /> <br /> <b>Picasa Web Albums</b><br /> If you have photos or videos in a Picasa Web Album today, the easiest way to still access, modify and share most of that content is to log in to <a href="http://photos.google.com/">Google Photos</a>, and all your photos and videos will already be there. Using Google Photos, you can continue to upload and organize your memories, as well as enjoy other great benefits like better ways to search and share your images. <br /> <br /> However, for those of you who don&#8217;t want to use Google Photos or who still want to be able to view specific content, such as tags, captions or comments, we will be creating a new place for you to access your Picasa Web Albums data. That way, you will still be able to view, download, or delete your Picasa Web Albums, you just won&#8217;t be able to create, organize or edit albums (you would now do this in Google Photos). <br /> <br /> One thing to make clear is that none of this is happening today&#8212;if you have a Picasa Web Album you can keep using it as normal. We&#8217;ll start rolling out these changes on May 1, 2016.<br /> <br /> <b>Desktop application</b><br /> As of March 15, 2016, we will no longer be supporting the Picasa desktop application. For those who have already downloaded this&#8212;or choose to do so before this date&#8212;it will continue to work as it does today, but we will not be developing it further, and there will be no future updates. If you choose to switch to Google Photos, you can continue to upload photos and videos using the desktop uploader at <a href="http://photos.google.com/apps">photos.google.com/apps</a>. <br /> <br /> Finally for developers, we will also be retiring some functions of the Picasa API. Developers can learn more <a href="https://developers.google.com/picasa-web/">here</a>.<br /> <br /> Again, none of these changes are happening today, and we&#8217;ll continue to update you along the way. We apologize for any inconvenience this transition causes, but we want to assure you that we are doing this with the aim of providing the best photos experience possible. Google Photos is a new and smarter product, that offers a better platform for us to build amazing experiences and features for you in the future.<br /> <br /> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Anil Sabharwal, Head of Google Photos</span> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <a href='https://googlephotos.blogspot.com/2016/02/moving-on-from-picasa.html' title='permanent link'>Permalink</a> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-319924748'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3600495212730159254&postID=3245481532075194701&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> </p> <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </p> <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></p> </div> </div> <div class='post uncustomized-post-template'> <a name='2372549606127500582'></a> <h3 class='post-title'> <a href='https://googlephotos.blogspot.com/2011/12/picasa-39-now-with-google-sharing-and.html'>Picasa 3.9: Now with Google+ sharing and tagging</a> </h3> <div class='post-body'> <h2 class='date-header'>Thursday, December 8, 2011 1:19&#8239;PM </h2> <span class="byline-author">Posted by&nbsp;</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Chandrashekar Raghavan, Product Manager</span><br /> <br /> <div style="background-color: transparent;"> <span id="internal-source-marker_0.5921330468263477" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Picasa 3.9, the latest update to the Picasa client, is ready for you to try out!

On my first trip I had a &#8220;regular&#8221; point and shoot camera with cartridge film. I had to scan the prints and host them on my own website to share photos with my friends.

Since launch, we&#8217;ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback with over 700,000 visits.<br /> <br /> As part of that announcement, we partnered with <a href="//www.google.com/weddings/rago.html">Michelle Rago</a> to not only help us with creative direction but also with hosting a wedding sweepstakes. The prize is $25,000 towards a dream wedding designed by Michelle.<br /> <br /> The sweepstakes ended on March 29th and today we&#8217;re pleased to announce that the randomly selected winning couple was Philong Nguyen and Nhu-Y Nguyen of Houston, Texas.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPTbUbzLVSAL7XGRtv8OhjtDiXe5ulicNKm84USO6E51S-uUDUB7TWcrJ-WwD_LoOAhaTccOeCQyYWYnS962mov1MLM664VhvGrqRbu-5d6cUtHvsyRUXC7-x16R105x-DlqMU_aGXIivt/s1600/Engagement_photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPTbUbzLVSAL7XGRtv8OhjtDiXe5ulicNKm84USO6E51S-uUDUB7TWcrJ-WwD_LoOAhaTccOeCQyYWYnS962mov1MLM664VhvGrqRbu-5d6cUtHvsyRUXC7-x16R105x-DlqMU_aGXIivt/" width="500" /></a></div><br /> Philong and Nhu-Y are currently using Google Docs to organize every facet of their wedding; Google Sites to build their wedding website, Picasa Web Albums to share photos with friends and Picnik to edit their photos. Philong had this to share about their engagement:<br /> <span style="font-style: italic;"><blockquote>&#8220;We had already been looking at rings so I decided I wanted the time and place to be a complete surprise. Luckily she was working one weekend and had to go to work very early since she works in a hospital in the lab. I&#8217;m usually sleeping at that time, so I knew she wouldn&#8217;t expect to see me at 5 AM in the morning when she left for work. I woke up very early, brought dozens of roses that I had bought the day before and plucked, and created a trail of rose petals that led her from her door to the backyard where it ended in a heart with me waiting on the grass. Of course, the hardest part was waiting for her to open the door but when she did she followed the trail, found me and said Yes."</blockquote></span>The couple will be working with Michelle Rago to design their September wedding. We can&#8216;t wait to see the pictures. Congratulations to Philong and Nhu-Y!<br /> <br /> <i>Cross-posted on <a href="http://buzz.blogger.com/">Blogger Buzz</a></i> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <a href='https://googlephotos.blogspot.com/2011/04/googlecomweddings-sweepstakes-winner.html' title='permanent link'>Permalink</a> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1146858217'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3600495212730159254&postID=5550975347526399322&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> </p> <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </p> <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></p> </div> </div> <div class='post uncustomized-post-template'> <a name='1301232270244009580'></a> <h3 class='post-title'> <a href='https://googlephotos.blogspot.com/2011/04/you-asked-we-listened.html'>You asked, we listened</a> </h3> <div class='post-body'> <h2 class='date-header'>Friday, April 8, 2011 12:05&#8239;PM </h2> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Tammy McLeod, Software Engineer</span><br /> <br /> We recently made some updates to Picasa Web Albums to address some of your top feature requests.
