Naast de welbekende zoekmachine zijn er ook een aantal programma's die onder de Google-vlag uitgebracht worden. Enkele voorbeelden daarvan zijn de Google toolbar, Google Earth en Blogger. Daarnaast is er ook het tekenprogramma Picasa, en hiervan is onlangs versie 2.1 uitgekomen. Het programma is in diverse talen te gebruiken, waaronder in het Nederlands, kan met één druk op een knop foto's aan een blog toevoegen en heeft ondersteuning voor RAW-formaat van diverse merken camera's. De download is net geen 4MB groot en kan hier worden gevonden. De release notes van deze versie zien er als volgt uit:
