Known limitations

Early software with missing features. Picasa notes are imported read-only; complete album/edit migration and face-recognition parity are not established. RAW images use embedded camera previews, not full RAW development. Movie export requires FFmpeg. Windows/macOS packages are unsigned, and macOS builds target Apple Silicon. Online maps and place searches use external services when enabled.
