If you’re new to the image storage service and want a simple, step-by-step guide to walk you through it, this article is for you. Here are five simple steps to help you discover the different ways to use Google Photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-1--1-determine-how-you-d-like-to-access-google-photos\">1. Determine how you’d like to access Google Photos\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are different ways to access Google Photos and they are often overlapping. The first way is through a browser (via laptop, desktop or mobile devices). Open Google and locate your account in the upper right hand corner. If you aren’t already registered with Google, do so first. Click the ‘apps’ grid and select ‘Photos’. If you’re on a mobile device, it might be easier to download the mobile app.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Photos is available on both Android and Apple devices. Depending on how you take most of your photos, some of these options will work better than others. For example, if you’re a photographer who uploads images directly from your camera to a laptop or desktop, then to Photos, you may not need the app on your mobile device. Figure out the best way to access Photos and adjust accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-30876\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1009\" height=\"1011\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194333\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-2.jpg\" alt=\"A man carrying digital files.\" class=\"wp-image-30876\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194333\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-2.jpg 1009w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194333\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-2-450x450.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194333\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-2-150x150.jpg 150w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194333\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-2-768x770.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Determining your type of access is the first step.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--2-estimate-your-needs\">2. Estimate your needs\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, it’s time to figure out how Photos should be customized to best suit your specific needs. There are quite a few important considerations to undergo. Here are the most vital two:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Space\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is very user-dependent, so make sure you’re considering exactly how YOU want to use \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fphotos.google.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Photos\u003C\u002Fa>. If you’re taking thousands of raw, high-resolution images and uploading daily, you’ll require much more space than someone uploading pictures of their breakfast from their mobile device. Have an approximate idea of the type of cloud storage space you’ll require when selecting your plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signup plan\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, consider the differences of the free options. One offers unlimited storage for free but it’s a reduced quality option. If you can sacrifice resolution, go for this. The other free option is 15GB, and it allows for unlimited resolution size. Next, consider if 15GB will be enough in the future. If not, choose to upgrade to one of the paid plans, starting at $1.99 and $2.99\u002Fmonth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-30879\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194332\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-3.jpg\" alt=\"People writing articles.\" class=\"wp-image-30879\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194332\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-3.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194332\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-3-450x337.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194332\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-3-768x575.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Determine your specific wants and needs.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--3-upload-your-photos\">3. Upload your photos\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You’ve figured out how you’re going to access Photos and what type of storage and resolution needs you have, so now it’s time to start uploading. Here’s a quick step-by-step to upload from either the browser access or the mobile app:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upload from mobile\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After installing the Google Photos app on your device, locate the images you wish to upload (this differs from iPhone and Android). Click the image you want and select ‘share’. Find the Google Photos option and select it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upload from browser (desktop, laptop)\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two easy ways to upload using a browser. First, you can drag image files directly from your computer into the middle space of Photos (similar to the picture below).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you’d rather, you can click the ‘upload’ button at the top of the screen instead. A popup window will appear and you simply need to locate your images and select them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-30882\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"631\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194332\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-4.jpg\" alt=\"Different types of media above a laptop.\" class=\"wp-image-30882\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194332\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-4.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194332\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-4-450x355.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194332\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-4-768x606.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The next step is uploading photos.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--4-sort-your-images\">4. Sort your images\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that your photos are uploaded, you’re going to have to keep them organized. When doing this, remember that you’ll be putting more photos into these locations in the future. One of the best ways to sort images is by creating albums. Click the ‘Albums’ tab and the ‘Create album’ button next. You’ll want to title it according to the types of images you want in that album. For example, a folder full of dogs and cats might be titled ‘animals’. This helps organize your system and quickens your retrieval time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you’d like to sort your images in a more polished manner, particularly to share with others, the ‘Photo books’ tab is your best bet. From there you can select a group of photos and put them into a personalized photo book intended to be given as a gift to friends and family. Note that having created sorted albums makes finding images for your photo books much easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-30885\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"411\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194331\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-5.jpg\" alt=\"A laptop animated.\" class=\"wp-image-30885\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194331\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-5.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194331\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-5-450x231.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194331\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-5-768x395.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Avoid unnecessary clutter.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-5--5-share-your-photos\">5. Share your photos\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, it’s time to share your photos. As you read above, ‘Photo books’ is one way to share your images but it’s for very specific events. Most of the time, your sharing is going to be online to things like social media and email, so you’ll need to get a link from Photos to quickly share an image.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, locate the photo(s) you wish to share. Click on these images to open them exclusively. At the top there will be a ‘share’ icon. Click it and you’ll be given different sharing options such as email, Facebook, Twitter and a link. If you want to attach it to forums and message boards, a link is likely your best bet. Otherwise use the other options to share the image directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Photos is a great way to store and share images but make sure you have a firm grasp of the different features it offers. You’ll be surprised how much it can do for you.\u003C\u002Fp>",4,{"url":19,"url_md":20,"alt":21,"height":22,"width":23},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194333\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F08\u002F19194333\u002Fhow-to-use-google-photos-450x253.jpg","Google building.",450,800,[25],{"id":26,"slug":26,"title":27,"path":28},"photo-management","Photo management","\u002Fpost-category\u002Fphoto-management\u002F",[30,37,44],{"featuredImage":31,"postId":32,"slug":33,"title":34,"description":35,"path":36},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192354\u002Fconvert-eps-to-png-25-450x270.jpg",41298,"convert-eps-to-png","A comprehensive guide to convert the EPS image file to a PNG","If you've used EPS extensively, you know how exclusive it can be.
