Escaping from Picasa Web Albums

Alternatively, if you're using Picasa Web Albums, you'll already have a copy of your photo albums on your personal computer, so there's not much of a concern with getting your data "out" of Picasa. However, if your computer is unavailable (e.g. it's crashed or stolen), you'll surely want to retrieve your photos from the web. One way to do this is to use the "Import from Picasa Web Albums" feature in Picasa:

That will copy the photos from your web albums onto your local computer.

Mac users can also use the Picasa Web Albums Uploader application to download albums

You can also download albums from Picasa Web's web interface.

Note: There's currently no way to download all of your videos from Picasa Web Albums. If this is an important feature for you, please vote on this service on the Data Liberation Moderator page.
