Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures and images on your PC.

Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups.

Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organized.

You can always add pictures manually through Picasa > Tools > Folder Manager.

Picasa can be installed in 2 different ways. The "easy way" version also has face recognition software on board.
