Picasa supports most of the common file formats used to store photos, including GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, and PSD (GIF and PNG images are not scanned by default, but you can tell Picasa to scan them by selecting the File Types tab in the Options dialog box.) Picasa can also import and let you manage movies. In addition to allowing you to manage your photos, Picasa allows you to perform basic edits and gives you many options for sharing those pictures with others (such as photo CD’s, or prints ordered from one of the online vendors supported by Picasa). Picasa is a free photo management program from Google that can be used to organize and manage all of the images you have stored on your hard drive. We are maintaining the Picasa posts within TechEase because we find that many people are still using the application and come to the TechEase site looking for the specific help we offer. The Picasa application will continue to function, however, and can still be used by those who prefer it. NOTE: As of March 16, 2016, Google ceased to support Picasa and encouraged users to migrate to Google Photos.
