What program has wider functionality for photo organizing and saving – Flickr vs Picasa? Read on my detailed comparison.
Flickr is an American online social network and image hosting service, also a blog hosting site. It is an online community and social networking site, like MySpace or Facebook, but much more advanced.
Picasa is an award winning web-based service that allows you to organize your pictures, make a slideshow and share them with your friends.
The key features of Flickr make it better photo album site, than Picasa for both amateurs and professionals. It includes options such as easy uploads and sharing of photos, a large collection of high quality photographs, various photograph-oriented applications, comment and bulletin board systems, a search function for finding specific keywords, and a built-in calendar.
Flickr Features:
The biggest advantage to Flickr is probably its image hosting features. As an open-source web application, Flickr can allow you to easily share images with your friends and colleagues. It is also a great social network, with hundreds of users logging in and contributing to the community on a regular basis.
Some of the most popular features on Flickr include being able to upload directly from your computer or your mobile phone. This is convenient if you need to post a picture that requires to be loaded directly to your reader or if you just want to read the picture on the application.
Many people who use Flickr regularly do not take advantage of the ability to download directly to their reader because it takes up a lot of space. Another great feature that the software has developed in recent years is capability to view and comment on other's photos.
Picasa has a simple interface, allowing even a novice computer user to navigate through it and create a stunning album. It includes many features that allow you to enhance your photo album such as editing, tagging, and sharing. However, one of the best options of Picasa is the integration with Google AdSense.
One of the main advantages of Picasa is that it enables you to share pictures with your friends all over the world. You can now upload images from your Picasa account to various social nets and share them. By doing this, you can also share information about your photographs, such as date and place of birth, keywords of the image and other details that are unique to your album.
Apart from the described features about your images, you can also invite your friends to like and comment on your photos. This option is definitely an advantage of Picasa, but it is only useful if you've got hundreds of people like or comment on your images.
