Google acquired Picasa from Lifescape in July 2004 and began offering it as free software. “Picasa” is a mix of the name of Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, pic for pictures, and the phrase mi casa (Spanish for “my house”). Show Picasa Web Albums and the Picasa Web Albums Data API will continue working as normal until May 1, 2016. After that, users will only be able to view their photos, while developers will lose some API functions. Google will stop supporting the Picasa desktop application sooner: on March 15, 2016. Incase you have the software installed in your computer, it should continue to function, but there won’t be new updates anymore. Google says it is retiring Picasa “In order to focus entirely on a single photo service in Google Photos.” The company also added: “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.” But it was Google that created the redundancy in the first place. Google launched the Google Photos in May 2015, providing a lot of overlapping functions from Google+ Photos and Picasa. All your photos and videos in Picasa Web Albums will be moved to Google Photos. And from there, you can continue to upload and organize your content, and that’s the only place Google will support you from May. For Picasa users who don’t want to use Google Photos, Google plans to create “a new place for you to access your Picasa Web Albums data.” You’ll be able to view, download, or delete your Picasa Web Albums from this new site, but you won’t be able to create, organize, or edit albums.
Google is shutting down Picasa, all of it
In less than three months, Google will be shuttering its Picasa Web service with the intention of focusing strictly on its newer toy launched last year, namely Google Photos. The announcement has gone live today on Google's Picasa blog and via a notification bar all over the main Picasa website. Picasa launched in 2002, and in 2004, Google bought it from Lifescape. The service was a success in the beginning, but as mobile took off, the desktop apps and the Web service fell behind, as more users started using Facebook or Instagram to manage photos, mainly due to their top-notch mobile support. Google countered last May, when it released Google Photos, which, unlike Picasa, is a mobile-first application and with a lesser focus on the desktop. The company now says that it does not make sense to allocate resources and human power to two different services that do the same thing, and it has decided to go with the newer, more apt service, as it would be logical to do. There's an easy way to migrate photos from Picasa to Google PhotosPicasa users can migrate all their Picasa Web albums to Google Photos just by logging into the service at least one time. The Picasa Web albums service will be shut down on May 1, 2016, while development of the Picasa desktop application will stop on March 16, 2016. Users can still download the app if they want to, but Google has said it will not be committing any resources for further development. The app has rarely received new features, but many users have loved it nevertheless, being a solid image management solution and the perfect way to upload images to Picasa Web albums without using a browser. The decision to shut down Picasa was expected by many, and it should not be a surprise that Google has finally pulled the plug on a project it stopped believing in a few years back. Moving on from Picasa We’ve decided to retire Picasa in order to focus on a single photo service in Google Photos – a new, smarter photo app that works seamlessly across mobile and the web.
