When Google announced that it wouldn\u2019t support or update Picasa, many subscribers were left wondering what to do about tons of photos stored there. All the precious memories can be easily migrated to Phototheca &#8211; Picasa alternative software. It contains features from Picasa that most of us like and several new features like AI-powered face recognition, duplication removal, iOS compatibility, and much more. So we made Phototheca become a proper Picasa replacement for all Windows users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"844\" height=\"459\" src=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_9.jpg 844w, https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_9-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_9-768x418.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a seat and learn more about the best Picasa alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"ub_table-of-contents\" data-showtext=\"show\" data-hidetext=\"hide\" data-scrolltype=\"auto\" id=\"ub_table-of-contents-c10bc4d4-ed7b-4c2c-a4fb-d79317d2c93e\" data-initiallyhideonmobile=\"false\"\n                    data-initiallyshow=\"true\"><div class=\"ub_table-of-contents-header-container\"><div class=\"ub_table-of-contents-header\">\n                    <div class=\"ub_table-of-contents-title\">Table of Contents<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ub_table-of-contents-extra-container\"><div class=\"ub_table-of-contents-container ub_table-of-contents-1-column \"><ul><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#0-picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition>Picasa Alternative with Facial Recognition<\/a><ul><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#1-features-of-picasa>Features of Picasa<\/a><ul><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#2-photo-management-tools>Photo management tools<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#3-editing-tools>Editing tools<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#4-video-and-slideshows-creation-tools>Video and slideshows creation tools<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#5-integrations>Integrations<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#6-features-phototheca-shares-with-picasa>Features Phototheca Shares With Picasa<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#7-picasa-to-phototheca-comparison->Picasa to Phototheca comparison<\/a><ul><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#8-missing-in-picasa>Missing in Picasa<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#9-additional-features-in-phototheca>Additional features in Phototheca<\/a><ul><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#10-photo-face-recognition>Photo face recognition<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#11-upload-to-google-photos>Upload to Google Photos<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#12-import-photos-from-apple-and-android-devices>Import photos from Apple and Android devices<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#13-detect-and-remove-duplicates>Detect and remove duplicates<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#14-a-few-more-hands-on-functions>A few more hands-on functions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/lunarship.com\/es\/blog\/picasa-alternative-with-facial-recognition\/#15-conclusion>Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"1-features-of-picasa\">Features of Picasa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Google says Picasa is a digital photo management program with some essential editing functions. People have been storing, managing, and editing zillions of their photos using this tool since 2002. So let\u2019s see which features many users appreciate in Picasa software. One of the most loved features of Picasa is facial recognition. Picasa was the only free facial recognition app for PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"985\" height=\"619\" src=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picasa_Screenshot_1.2-985.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picasa_Screenshot_1.2-985.jpg 985w, https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picasa_Screenshot_1.2-985-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picasa_Screenshot_1.2-985-768x483.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 985px) 100vw, 985px\" \/><figcaption>Picasa 3 screen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-photo-management-tools\">Photo management tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily import, organize, track, and share pictures in Picasa. The app allows searching in pre-set folders and will also search your whole desktop. Additionally, you can sort images using tags, collections, facial recognition, and even colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-editing-tools\">Editing tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The essential Picasa editing tools include red-eye removal, straightening, cropping, resizing images, contrast, color enhancement, filters, and a batch editor function. You can adjust and control the effect and intensity of different components using handy sliders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-video-and-slideshows-creation-tools\">Video and slideshows creation tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of us created slideshows with music using the Picasa Movie Maker function, but that&#8217;s not all. You can also create picture collages and face movies, view photos on a timeline, plus find and group photos by faces or names. Make a CD or use Picasa\u2019s FTP manager to easily upload and publish HTML galleries to websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-integrations\">Integrations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Picasa could upload photos to Picasa Web Album cloud storage, allowing users to back up photos automatically. The program includes 1GB of private web storage, but the pictures and videos aren\u2019t public unless you share. The software even integrates with Google Maps to show images on maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it\u2019s not easy to overcome Picasa but let\u2019s see what Phototheca can offer its users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"6-features-phototheca-shares-with-picasa\">Features Phototheca Shares With Picasa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Facial_recognition_software.jpg\" alt=\"Facial recognition software\" class=\"wp-image-3809\" width=\"758\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Facial_recognition_software.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Facial_recognition_software-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Facial_recognition_software-768x588.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><figcaption><span style=\"color:#ff6900\" class=\"color\">Phototheca is a digital image management and organization software like Picasa.

It\u2019s easy to address, crop, straighten and resize. The program uses slider adjustments for thumbnail size, color correction tools, light, white balance, and other enhancements. It also includes 56 Filters to enhance images. The software supports JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF, and RAW formats. You can even correct the date stamps of photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing the best photo organizer app, Picasa, is difficult, but we are trying hard. As a Picasa desktop alternative, Phototheca can run <strong>slideshows<\/strong>. Use Sort or Event functions to select or manually select pictures to populate and create presentations. <strong>Upload and share with friends, family, or followers on Twitter, Flickr, and Google Photos.<\/strong> You can create shared folders open to family, friends, and coworkers so different users can add or access images.<\/p>\n\n\n<style id=\"kt-blocks_766ed6-94\" type=\"text\/css\">.kt-btns_766ed6-94 .kt-btn-wrap-0 {margin-right:5px;}.kt-btns_766ed6-94 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button {width:230px;color:#ffffff;font-size:20px;background:linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(14, 214, 78, 1) 0%, rgba(6, 170, 195, 1) 100%);border-color:rgba(85, 85, 85, 1);box-shadow:0px 4px 15px 6px rgba(39, 221, 152, 0.2);}.kt-btns_766ed6-94 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .kt-btns_766ed6-94 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus {color:#ffffff;border-color:rgba(14, 214, 78, 1);}.kt-btns_766ed6-94 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before {background:rgba(14, 214, 78, 1);}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kt-btn-align-center kt-btn-tablet-align-inherit kt-btn-mobile-align-inherit kt-btns-wrap kt-btns_766ed6-94\"><div class=\"kt-btn-wrap kt-btn-wrap-0\"><a class=\"kt-button button kt-btn-0-action kt-btn-size-small kt-btn-style-basic kt-btn-svg-show-always kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false\" href=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/pricing\/\" style=\"border-radius:6px;border-width:0px\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Comprar Phototheca<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The apps are similar but not the same.

So what can\u2019t Picasa do? Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Can not upload to Google Photos<\/li><li>It does not support videos from iPhone<\/li><li>It does not support modern image and video formats<\/li><li>Requires manual confirmation of every recognized face<\/li><li>It does not detect duplicates<\/li><li>Can not import from iPhone<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason why Picasa has these gaps is its age. The app was created 19 years ago and hasn&#8217;t been updated since 2016. The world has changed, so users need those missing functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"9-additional-features-in-phototheca\">Additional features in Phototheca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Phototheca is advanced picture organizer software. With Phototheca, you can Import, manage, edit, and store pics from any device in RAW and JPEG formats. The software supports stills and different video formats and is iOS-compatible. Phototheca has enhanced storage and retrieval options that can easily detect and remove duplicates and supports dual monitor viewing and touch interface.&nbsp;Let&#8217;s learn about the most critical features one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"10-photo-face-recognition\">Photo face recognition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Phototheca, we utilized cutting-edge AI technology to recognize and match faces. While Picasa requires you to confirm each face manually, Phototheca can arrange all faces of the same person in a batch, and you would need to give a name to a batch only once. Even more exciting is if a person appears in photos imported later, Phototheca automatically assigns a name to a face. And similar faces are gathered into a stack automatically. With AI-powered automated face recognition, we believe Phototheca is the best facial recognition software on PC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"11-upload-to-google-photos\">Upload to Google Photos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most disappointing Picasa drawbacks is its disability to upload files to Google Photos. Luckily Phototheca has this feature, and you can upload files to Google Photos with a few clicks.

Phototheca can also import pictures in HEIC format. The same goes for Android phones and tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"600\" height=\"260\" src=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/08_iphone_photos_PC_2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Copy pictures from iPhone to PC\" class=\"wp-image-599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/08_iphone_photos_PC_2-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/08_iphone_photos_PC_2-1-300x130.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"13-detect-and-remove-duplicates\">Detect and remove duplicates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes we store several copies of the same pictures. Removing those duplications in Picasa is a lengthy manual process, while Phototheca does it automatically and doesn&#8217;t upload the same photos twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"911\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/06_duplicates.jpg\" alt=\"Find Photo Duplicates\" class=\"wp-image-578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/06_duplicates.jpg 911w, https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/06_duplicates-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lunarship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/06_duplicates-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 911px) 100vw, 911px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"14-a-few-more-hands-on-functions\">A few more hands-on functions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Phototheca will <strong>create and populate albums based on selected criteria<\/strong> using the Smart Album feature, or you can do it manually. Import photos and videos from multiple sources and devices. Don\u2019t worry about adding duplicate pics; Phototheca only imports new images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manage and sort occasions and vacation photos easily with \u201cEvents\u201d or separate them manually. Build and refine your image library using tags, Events, Folders, Calendars, and Live Albums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"15-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Phototheca is digital image management, storage, and retrieval software. It is the best Google Picasa desktop alternative for Windows. Benefit from the extensive organization and search capabilities that make it easy to sort thousands of images and find the one you want. Import pics from different sources and formats, and easily share them on your favorite social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-1d28f0c8\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h2 id=\"kt-adv-heading_e69526-91\" class=\"kt-adv-heading_e69526-91 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\">Need a Picasa alternative with facial recognition?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"kt-adv-heading_f1aa3d-08\" class=\"kadence-advanced-heading-wrapper\"><h3 id=\"11-get-powerful-image-organizing-and-editing-software\" class=\"kt-adv-heading_f1aa3d-08 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\">Get powerful image organizing and editing software<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-undefined uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign-undefined uagb-columns__gap-10 alignundefined uagb-block-3bc33148\"><div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-ecd47ce6\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-column__inner-wrap\"><style id=\"kt-blocks_b51a42-40\" type=\"text\/css\">.kt-btns_b51a42-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 {margin-right:5px;}.kt-btns_b51a42-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button {width:300px;color:#ffffff;font-size:24px;background:linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(58, 88, 212, 1) 0%, rgba(173, 119, 240, 1) 100%);border-color:rgba(85, 85, 85, 1);box-shadow:0px 4px 15px 6px rgba(40, 43, 221, 0.2);}.kt-btns_b51a42-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .kt-btns_b51a42-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus {color:#ffffff;border-color:rgba(47, 106, 207, 1);}.kt-btns_b51a42-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before {background:rgba(47, 106, 207, 1);}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kt-btn-align-center kt-btn-tablet-align-inherit kt-btn-mobile-align-inherit kt-btns-wrap kt-btns_b51a42-40\"><div class=\"kt-btn-wrap kt-btn-wrap-0\"><a class=\"kt-button button kt-btn-0-action kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-style-basic kt-btn-svg-show-always kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false\" href=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/thank-you-for-downloading-phototheca\/\" style=\"border-radius:6px;border-width:0px\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Descargar Phototheca<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-6fac4964\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-column__inner-wrap\"><style id=\"kt-blocks_a7be93-4d\" type=\"text\/css\">.kt-btns_a7be93-4d .kt-btn-wrap-0 {margin-right:5px;}.kt-btns_a7be93-4d .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button {width:300px;color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;background:linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(14, 214, 78, 1) 0%, rgba(6, 170, 195, 1) 100%);border-color:rgba(85, 85, 85, 1);box-shadow:0px 4px 15px 6px rgba(39, 221, 152, 0.2);}.kt-btns_a7be93-4d .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .kt-btns_a7be93-4d .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus {color:#ffffff;border-color:rgba(14, 214, 78, 1);}.kt-btns_a7be93-4d .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before {background:rgba(14, 214, 78, 1);}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kt-btn-align-center kt-btn-tablet-align-inherit kt-btn-mobile-align-inherit kt-btns-wrap kt-btns_a7be93-4d\"><div class=\"kt-btn-wrap kt-btn-wrap-0\"><a class=\"kt-button button kt-btn-0-action kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-style-basic kt-btn-svg-show-always kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false\" href=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/pricing\/\" style=\"border-radius:6px;border-width:0px\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Compre Phototheca Pro<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>Find and remove all duplicates, adjust the date and time of photos, tag photos with keywords, recognize faces, and organize images into life events.
