PicasaWeb Uploader

Overview

PicasaUploader is a very simple tool to help you upload your photos and videos to Google PicasaWeb in three easy steps. It provides the following functionality:

  • Browse and select an album or create a new one
  • Browse and select/remove photos and videos to upload
  • Automatically resize/scale the photos prior to upload – just select the size you want form the drop down.
  • Right click and “Send To” integration on Windows
  • Duplicate photos handling – Skip/Replace/Upload
  • Error handling – if something goes wrong during the upload you will be asked if you want to retry.

What’s New

[2010.06.05] PicasaUploader 0.5

- Add support for uploading videos. Supported files are: .avi, .mpeg, .mpg, .wmv, .3gp, .asf, .mp4, .mov.
However PicasaWeb can still reject any of those if it doesn’t like it. Note also that videos won’t be
playable in the album immediately because they have to be postprocessed by PicasaWeb.
- File size limits: 20MB for photo files and 100MB for video files.

- Use system’s proxy settings.

    Ivan, works perfectly and it's exactly what the doctor ordered!

    Please put a Paypal donate button somewhere on your site, I've spent the last hour installing / uninstalling Picasa only because I wanted this simple functionality and they don't have it without an intrusive first scan of the user computer for all the photos..

    Thanks Again!
  • Hey, I am very happy to hear that my tool was useful to you! As per your request I have just added a PayPal donate button under the download link.
  • Hi Ivan,
    the PicasaWeb Uploader is really a useful tool. Thank you very much. Could you add http(s)-proxy support to it?
  • Glad it is useful to you. I have made the latest version use your system's proxy settings. See if that works for you - http://cloud.github.com/downloads/ivanz/PicasaU...
  • Kyle S.

  • tunaaja
    I am unable to create new album with 0.3 version (havent tried older versions)
    Here is screenshot: http://tunaaja.servemp3.com/~tunaaja/temp/picas...
  • I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with the App. I just tested creating an album on my machine and it works fine. I googled around and this error might indicate that either you are using a proxy which is having an issue or there is a problem with your ISP <-> google data services. Maybe it's just temporarily.
  • tunaaja
    Thanks for answer. I dont know. Error appears instantly when i push ok button at the create new album window. As if it doesnt try to communicate with picasa at this point.
  • Ola
    Just tried it and it seems to work fine. Thanks!
  • You are welcome. Glad my tool is useful for someone. :) If you have any problems or you think of something that might make it more useful to you don't hesitate to report it.
