Zonerama Offers Entire Photo Library Rescue forPicasa Refugees
In just a few clicks automatically transfer your entire photo library to Zonerama.
(April 14th, 2016, San Francisco) With Google’s recent announcement to “retire” their Picasa
service, the developers of Zoner’s free and unlimited online gallery, Zonerama have come to therescue as with just a few simply clicks your entire photo library can safely and securely be moved
over to Zonerama.
In February of this year Google announced that its Picasa Web Galleries were on the way out. They will
be replaced by Google Photos, and access to the galleries’ editing functions will be cut off. A major
dilemma for photo enthusiasts.
“From the growing number of queries about Zonerama, it was clear to us that the photo sorting system in
Google Photos is simply a poor fit for many users, driving them to check out Zonerama. But we could also
see that to make the switch as seamlessly as possible, they needed an easy way to import their entire
photo collections,” explained Zoner product manager Jan Kupčík of the program’s import function origins.

Importing Photos is Easy
In Zonerama’s Upload Photos window there’s a new option, Import from Picasa Web Albums. It
instantly takes the user to Google’s login window; from there, a user simply logs in to their Google
account and starts the import process. The whole transfer is done in the background, so there’s no needfor the user to keep the import window open, or even keep their computer on. An email is sent out when
the process is complete, making this tool super easy to use and hassle free with limits on the size thephoto library being transferred.
The users’ albums are imported to a hidden folder with the name Picasa. What happens from there is up
to each individual user. A user can rename their Picasa import folder, make it public, or add other folders
and move albums around within the Picasa folder. Users of Zoner’s Zoner Photo Studio (currently inversion ZPS 18) program can also easily manage their photo galleries in that software.
This import capability also supports content from Google Photos, but for technical reasons the AutomaticBackup album (with backups of mobile photos) is excluded. Also note that, before we can import thephotos from Google, photographs whose longer side is over 1600 px are proportionally shrunk to thissize. However, we are confident that this resolution is sufficient for presenting photographs superbly
online.
The Zonerama online gallery service is free, ad-free, and unlimited, and it leaves uploaded photos attheir full quality. Photos can be uploaded over a web interface or from inside the Zoner Photo Studio
photo software, which has Zonerama support built directly into it.
