Picasa is an image organizer and image viewer for organizing and editing digital photos, plus an integrated photo-sharing website. “Picasa” is a blend of the name of Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, the phrase mi casa (Spanish for “my house”) and “pic” for pictures (personalized art). In July 2004, Google acquired Picasa from its original author and began offering it as freeware.
