As of today, Google has not promised to bring that data over to Google Photos. Picasa also supports “web albums,” which can include captions and other data that is separate from the actual photos. Everything should be there when you log in with the same Google account that you used with Picasa.

Google has already migrated all of your online photos and videos to Google Photos. What happens to online photos and web albums? If you’re a Picasa loyalist, here are the answers you need. Picasa has been ignored for several years, but I still have many loyal clients using the desktop program on their computers. Google is committing all of its resources to Google Photos, the online photo service that duplicates much of what is in Picasa, and more importantly works perfectly on mobile devices, the focus of everyone’s efforts these days. Both of them will be shut down in the next few months. Picasa is two things – a cloud service for storing photos online, and a desktop application for managing photos on your computer.

Google posted an announcement a few days ago that Picasa will be closed down soon.
