Google Photos is a free app for the Windows which helps you to organize your photos for easy retrieval and storage.

All the photos are put in just one place and save all your photos.

With the app, you may group pictures with similar subjects and then you may label them, photos are saved on the cloud, Chromecast them on your TV, synced them with your smartphones to access them anywhere, anytime, then back up all your photos in the Clouds, plus so much more.

Both apps let you quickly select all the images taken on a certain date or within a certain time period, so you can add them to an album or project.

Both Apple Photos and Google Photos offer these insanely great, sanity-saving features, but how do the apps really stack up Ill put Apple Photos against Google Photos and discover just how similar (or different) they are when it comes to storage, importing, organizing, editing, sharing and creating projects.

As youre about to learn, Google Photos grants a couple of wishes that you didnt know to ask for.

Storage and cost Apple gives 5GB of free storage space to anyone who signs up for an iCloud account, but that storage is also used for your iOS device backups, documents, and your imagevideo library.

If youre the slightest bit snap-happy, youll blow through 5GB at warp speed, but you can buy more space.

As of this writing, Apples monthly storage rates for iCloud Photo Library are.

You can enjoy unlimited storage for images up to 16 megapixels (which far exceeds what todays iOS devices can capture), and videos up to 1080p (4K videos are supported with the Google Originals plan, discussed momentarily).

Images and videos that are bigger get downsized; however, everything is optimized (compressed) into high quality versions (this algorithm is applied in the cloud, not on your devices).

Raw files are stored as JPEGs on Googles High Quality planthat said, its next to impossible to spot any quality loss, especially if youre viewing imagery on mobile devices.

You can choose to store original images (raw files included) by choosing Googles Originals plan.

Google grants 15GB of free storage space to that end, though your Gmail (messages and attachments) and Google Drive storage space count against it.

If youre okay with Googles high quality plan, you dont have to pay a cent (unless you routinely make giant prints, this is a great trade-off).

Importing Both Apple Photos and Google Photos sport mobile and desktop methods for importing and viewing your library.

With the Google Photos app on your iOS device, any picture and videos you take (or save to the device) automatically show up in Google Photos like they do in Apple Photos (via iCloud Photo Library or My Photo Stream).

Importing images on your desktop works similarly in both appsyou can drag and drop pictures (or folders of them) into a web browser pointed at photos.google.com or onto the Apple Photos window or its app icon (though by default the app opens automatically whenever you connect an iOS device to your Mac).

If you include your iPhoto or Photos library, anything you import into them gets uploaded to Google Photos, too (this trick doesnt work with Adobe Lightroom catalogs).

Apples older iPhoto has a hidden folder that you can manually drop goodies into for automatic importing into the appControl-click the iPhoto library and choose Expand Package Contents to find the auto import folderPhotos doesnt (yet) and you cant (yet) set up an Automator workflow to do it either.

If you shoot in raw format and you want Google Photos to see edits you make in a raw processor (say, Adobe Lightroom or Camera Raw), you must export and upload the images as JPEGs (pushing your edits into the metadata in those apps wont work).

To that end, Lightroom users can easily create an export preset (called a Publish Service) for this and then specify the destination folder for automatic upload as mentioned earlier.

Why would you do this To use Google Photos easy web sharing and nifty Creations, which Ill get to in a bit.

Both apps display your digital mementos in a grid-like fashion in chronological order, though the most recent appear at the top in Google Photos whereas theyre at the bottom in Apple Photos.

If youre using Apples iCloud Photo Library, all your digital goodies are synced between your devices and thus appear in the Photos app on those devices, though theyre also accessible (and downloadable) in a web browser.

The same is true of Google Photos, but theres no Mac app for viewing or selectingyou use a web browser.
