Picasa instantly locates and organises all the pictures on your computer. It is software that helps you to find, edit and share all the pictures on your computer. Whenever you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize.
Picasa also makes it a snap to share your pictures – you can email, print photos at home, and make gift CDs. With the new Web Albums feature, you can upload your photos to the web with just one click. You can even download your friends’ photos directly back to Picasa on your own computer. Very easy way to share photos online.

Also, Linux version is available too and you don’t need to change your OS

What Picasa can do?

• Picasa organises your entire collection while you watch, scanning the images on your computer and automatically sorting them by date.
• Clean up your folders with drag and drop from one folder in Picasa to another. Picasa will make the change permanent after double-checking with you.
• In Picasa, it only takes seconds to re-name one picture or a group of pictures.
• Tag your photos with labels into quick groupings inside Picasa. Viewing and sharing the pictures you grouped under a label is easy – they make great slide shows and movies or you can email them to friends.
• Give a gold star to any photo you love: it turns your favourites into visual standouts at a glance. Picasa even has a star search that reduces your entire photo collection to the best of the best in less than a second.
• Picasa creates a new “instance” of each photo you label without taking up more space on your computer, so you can put the same picture into multiple albums.
• Have photos you want to keep to yourself? You can add passwords to any of your Picasa collections (this does not affect which pictures you and others can see on your computer’s hard drive).
• Available basic fixes – crop, remove red eye, fix the contrast and colour, and enhance your digital pictures.
• 12 new visual effects can improve your photos – and in seconds, not hours. Go sepia. Warmify. Make pictures pop with colour or try austere black-and-white. Try easy one-clicks or the more finely tuned sliders for better control where you want it. And of course, you can undo your changes at any step along the way.
• Your captions are saved within their pictures and stay with them, whether you export as a web page or make a CD presentation. Picasa captions are fully editable and searchable, and you choose whether to display them or not.
• EXIF display for more info about your photos.
• Automatically fits your pictures onto the expensive paper used by your home printer. Print wallets, 4×6, 5×7, full pages, more sizes and even more than one picture on a page.
• Pick photos straight out of Picasa and upload them directly to your favourite photo finishers to order prints and other products (T-shirts, coffee mugs, mouse pads etc.)
• Protect your pictures by archiving them on a CD or DVD. Picasa displays the pictures that have not yet been backed up so you can be absolutely sure what do you need to backup.
• Tile any picture you select, allowing you to print each part and reassemble them at poster size – up to 1,000% larger than the original.
• Pick a favourite photo as your desktop picture or add several into your screensaver rotation.
• Turn your photos into a movie.
• Create a collage that expands your creative horizons.
