Google Picasa shutting down

Google Picasa will no longer be active. It will be unavailable from 1 may, 2016. So picasa lovers switch over to Google's future said product; Google Photos.

Google Picasa was merely used as a photo manager, editor and as well as a great photo organiser. It got many version upgrades and eacj upgrade had something new in store for the users. Probably i have used Picasa a year ago and had a lots of fun in it and then i switched over to Google Photos which was far better than Picasa according to me. Now Photos is my only app which backs up my photos and videos daily.

Google on Friday said it will be shuttering Picasa to shift its focus to the new Google Photos service launched less than a year ago.

"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," Google Photos chief Anil Sabharwal said in a blog post.

Pictures or videos in Picasa online albums will be automatically available in people's Google Photos accounts, according to Sabharwal.

Those wishing not to shift to the new service will still be able to view, download or delete photos in Picasa albums, but the software won't be updated and adding images won't be an option.

"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," Sabharwal said.

"Google Photos is a new and smarter product."
