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. 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 Google Photos, and all your photos and videos will already be there. We’ve outlined below some of the changes you can expect. 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 know for many of you, a great deal of care has gone into managing your photos and videos using Picasa-including the hours you’ve invested and the most precious moments you’ve trusted us with. 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. After much thought and consideration, we’ve decided to retire Picasa over the coming months in order to focus entirely on a single photo service in Google Photos. Since the launch of Google Photos, we’ve had a lot of questions around what this means for the future of Picasa. You can view, download, or delete your Picasa Web Albums data on this page.
