How to migrate photos from Picasa to Google Photos?

Last Updated :

Migrate is not a correct term in this case. Google refers to it as “switching,” because that’s exactly how you have to think about it. To start using Google Photos, simply download the Google Photos Backup tool, tell it where to look for your photos, and then let it do its thing. It will take hours (or days) for all of your photos to make it to the cloud, but it happens in the background and doesn’t require any intervention on your part. It’s entirely effortless.


Upon switching, Google Photos users get an unlimited amount of room on its servers as long as your photos are under 16 megapixels in size, the compression that Photos performs is virtually unnoticeable. Users can opt to choose the uncompressed option, which lets you upload RAW files without any alterations. This option is not unlimited, though. It will eat into your total amount of available storage for your Google account and may get you buy extra storage space.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
