Free storage limits
Picasa Web Albums offers 1 GB of free storage for photos and videos. However, files under certain size limits don't count towards this free storage limit. This applies to uploads for other Google product that store photos and videos in Picasa Web Albums, including Blogger, Google+ and Google Maps.
The free storage sizes are good for sharing photos on the web, but if you prefer to upload your images at a larger size for better quality (archival or print), you can buy more storage at any time. Learn more about Google storage.

Free storage limits
Photos up to 800 x 800 pixels and videos up to 15 minutes won't count towards your free storage.
Automatic resizing
All photos uploaded over the free size limit will count towards your 1 GB of free storage. When you reach your storage limit, any new photos you upload to Picasa Web larger than the free size limit will be automatically resized to 800 pixels (on their longest edge).
Note: If you reach your storage limit when uploading from the Picasa desktop software, you'll only be able upload at free storage sizes. Larger uploads will not be automatically resized to the free storage limit.
<Quote>Thanks to Google+, Picasa users—whether they're on Google+ or not—now can upload virtually all photos to their accounts without going over the storage limits; the same holds true for videos 15 minutes or under. A new photo-tagging feature lets your Google+ friends tag your public photos.
While Picasa Web Albums offers 1GB of free storage for photos and videos, files under certain size limits won't count towards this free storage limit. If you're a Google+ user, photos up to 2048 x 2048 pixels and videos up to 15 minutes won't eat up your storage space. For non-Google+ users, the photo size limit is smaller: 800 x 800 pixels (videos are also under 15 minutes).
If you reach your storage limit and upload images larger than these dimensions to Picasa Web Albums, however, Google will automatically resize them for you so they won't count towards your free storage limit—so it's like getting unlimited storage after all.
Google has also integrated Picasa and Google+ to add a new Facebook-like social tagging feature. Anyone in your Google+ network can tag people in your shared Picasa albums. In this settings page, you can approve or remove name tags, as well as control name tag auto-approval.
