Burning Photos to CD or DVD using Picasa

«
»

Burning your photos to a CD or DVD can be useful for many things such as taking your photos to get printed, sharing them with friends, keeping them for backup purposes. Here’s how to do it if you use Picasa:

Open Picasa

On the left hand side, click one of the folders containing the photos you want to burn to CD

Picasa Left Pane

Near the top, click “Gift CD”

Gift CD Button

If you want to put photos from other folders on the disc too, click “Add More…”

Add More button

Tick each of the other folders you’d like to include in the CD/DVD

Picasa Left Pane - Select Folders to Burn

Choose a name for the CD

Picasa - Name the Gift CD

Click “Burn Disc”

Burn Disc

Wait a few minutes and Picasa will ask if you want to eject the CD or DVD.

That’s it, now you have a copy of those photos on a portable disc.

    I have made a CD but it will not play on my TV.
    I have to go through a lenghty process to find the files on the CD when incerted on my PC and only plays there.
    How can I get it to play on my TV?

    Thanks alot, very helpful, couldnt of done it with out this. On picasa is there any chance of doing effects? For example like a slide show, where you can choose effects within in, like ‘disapearing’ photos? thanks, Rosalind

    I just finish to Burn 6 Picasa folders and this Criptech company was the best, is easy and fast.
    For Jim Hoare: if you CD do not work in your PC try to copy your photos in a
    DVD it works very good.

    For Rosalind: maybe she has to Insert the photos in Power Point and there are ways to desapearing photos and coming again.
