![]() ![]() If you open the Store and search for “Picasa” – you will find lots of matching apps. But, don’t expect to find it in the “Store.” The store contains the new world Apps that work on tablets as well as computers. You can use any web browser and go to and download the Picasa3 software to manage the pictures on your computer. If you are using a computer with Windows 8 (not RT), you have a Windows computer. Windows 8 comes in two flavors: RT and full-blown Windows 8. Picasa is from the old world of computers. It’s a new world out there with cloud storage, iOS, Android, Windows 8RT, smartphones and tablets. I haven’t used these Apps, they may have some very nice features for viewing and managing your pictures on Picasa Web Albums (now also known as Google+ Photos.) I just want to point out that this is NOT Picasa as we know it on our Windows and Macintosh desktop computers and laptops. These apps are meant to interact with your Picasa Web Albums, pictures that are stored in the Cloud. None of these Apps are by Google, therefore, none of them are the real Picasa. Take a close look at all of these Apps and you’ll see the publisher is Colifer Lab, Conker Mobile, PicsArt, iPont Software, AppStar, and more. They both show multiple Apps that include the word “Picasa.” None of these are actually Picasa. In the image at the beginning of this article, you see a screenshot from both the Android Play Store and the Apple App store.

I have 120GB of pictures on my computer (and external hard drive) and I know many people with much more. It only has 16, 32, or 64 Gigabytes of storage, depending on your model. First of all, your iPad is not intended to store thousands of pictures. ”I want to put all my pictures on my iPad and use Picasa there” The current version of Picasa is 3.9 and it is generally referred to as Picasa3, to distinguish it from the companion photo-sharing website known as Picasa Web Albums. You download the software to your Windows or Macintosh computer from and it helps you browse, organize, edit, and share the pictures on your computer. Picasa is a very popular, free program from Google.
