Picasa Web Albums

In Picasa web albums you can create online photo albums. You can sign into Picasa at http://picasaweb.google.com using your Gmail account.

If you already have Picasa on your computer, you can upload photo’s straight from there to Picasa Web albums using the Upload button. You can also upload photo’s from you web album site or you can change the settings to allow uploading photo’s from your email.
Photo’s can be uploaded in 3 sizes. If you want to keep the original size choose the biggest size. Be aware that you will use up your storage space more quickly. Picasa Web albums offers 1Gb free space.

When you upload photo’s an option will appear to add people who share with contributing photo’s. The people you add can login to your web albums with their account and add photo’s to an album.
You can choose to make your albums listed or unlisted. Listed or public albums can be viewed by anyone. Unlisted albums are like unlisted phone numbers. Only if you know the web address you can find it.

There are several features in Picasa Web Albums, for example;
  • You can turn your album into a slideshow by clicking the slideshow button
  • You can add captions and tags to your photo’s
  • You can add name tags. When you named a few photo’s, Picasa will automatically scan all your pictures and finds the pictures with the same person
  • You can add a map with the location where you took the photo’s
Get ready to create your online album to share with family and friends anywhere in the world.
