“A perfect application for show casing you images”

Don F.
10/3/24

I've been using jAlbum for years. It is truly a premium product. I'd recommend this software for anyone who wants to display their images in an elegant interface. There are many styles and skins to choose from; most of which can be customized unto themself. The sky is pretty much the limit.

Very nice product with a rather steep learning curve. One tends to forget some of the steps if not used often. It would help if there were an easier way to add a new folder and photos to an existing album.

Thanks for your feedback. How about dragging and dropping the new folder onto an open project? (CTRL+C and CTRL+V also works)

I would like a way to develop projects on your cloud server and then an app like way to "relocate" the project to my own drives and have it automatically reset all drive / file locations within the projects menus to the new "to" location.

Hi. "File->Import->Published album" does this on an album by album basis. I figure you'd like a feature that does this for all published albums?

I have been using the software and web storage for years. Lots of updates and new version with constant usability through them all. I don't use social media so this online web builder and storage works great to share my photos with descriptions.

Very pleased with this software. I needed to publish about 1000 photos from a recent trip. Needed to organize by folder and camera date. There were many themes to choose from, all of them professionally created and error free. This is an excellent way to organize photos and video for personal or professional use.

Overall I have loved JAlbum for years. BUT I hate the green popups! Make them go away! Everything else gets better and faster, but these get in my way, over and over and over and over and over and slow me down, and take away a disproportionate amount of the happiness.

Thanks for your feedback. All those speech bubbles but one go away after having been shown once. The remaining one hints about jAlbum's search bar. Use it ONCE and you'll never be pestered with that hint again. This behaviour is intentional as the search bar is an immensely helpful part of jAlbum. It locates any setting or project for you. Type "font" for instance, then click the menu alternatives to be taken to a font setting.

Experiencing limited time with the albums to date has been a revealing pleasure in so many hopeful ways. Attempting to make more quality time to get web sites back up and running in coming days. Thanks much for being the best platform found over the past few years. Cheers!

My project for my Hummingbird videos didn't show all the videos originally. I had to redo project several times. Eventually I deleted project and rebuilt it. It then posted all the videos.

I've been using JAlbum for the past 6-7 years and it's keep getting better all the time. While I don't change skins very often I do appreciate the number of skins available. I post pictures of the events we have with our Corvette Club during the year and post it off our web site. Great application.

There are so many things that are great about jAlbum. Probably top thing is that everything is on my computer, and you can test a project locally before deploying.
The completed project displays properly on every type of screen and in every browser. If you're a newbie, just make the gallery and upload it to the jalbum site.
As Billy Mays said, "But wait! There's more!"
I was skeptical when jAlbum told me I could run my entire site with it, but yes, you can, AND you can create a test site and try it live on the web before deploying.
Not to diss Wordpress or Sitejet, but they're online, and even with their previews, I've had updates break on different browsers or when accessed from a phone.
With jAlbum, that never happens.
Summarizing:
Everything is on your computer. If your entire site crashes or you change hosting services, you can upload the whole thing and lose nothing.
It displays properly on every screen size and in every browser.
You can fully test changes before deploying,
Finally, the deployed sites are beautiful and functional,

I've created and maintained a family photo archive online using JAlbum for like 15 years or so. The website has over 80,000 photos and videos and Jalbum handles even that size well. Very happy with it.

I use this to add a page of photos to my website monthly. JAlbum works very well at this. I would benefit from a way to put for example "page 3 of 5" on each page as an option. It would also help to have a way to take an existing page and amend more photos to it. Right now I do that manually.

I've used jAlbum for well over ten years and I've just scratched the surface of its capabilities. Along side that, jAlbum regularly updates their product with value added features and new skins. I have absolutely no criticisms to their business model or their product. It has worked extremely well for me to add photo pages to my website with minimum effort.

I've used jAlbum for a number of projects and find it a pleasure to work with. It is easy to use, flexible and I've gotten great results. I especially like the ability to tag photos and have the tags display in the Tag Cloud that gives users a table of contents.

I have used jAlbum for over 12 years as a tool to organize and display photos to share with friends and family. My largest photo collection contains almost 17,000 photos, and I have several smaller collections with probably another 2,000 or so images. Changes and additions are relatively quick, even with the largest collection. My experience has been mostly with the "Standard" license.

Business History

Returning from a skiing trip in 2002, founder David Ekholm intended to share his newly taken pictures with his friends. David started to look for photo album software and tried out what the market had to offer. After numerous disappointments with various album clients, being a programmer, he decided to take matters into his own hands...

With jAlbum you have full control of the look of the generated album, not just the color theme and basic layout. Making an album is still just a simple matter of drag and drop, plus a button click if you prefer to use one of the many existing looks. jAlbum will process your images, make index pages, create slide show pages and even upload the final album to the Internet for your friends to see. jAlbum runs on all platforms and speaks over 30 languages.

Today, jAlbum is one of the world's most popular applications for producing web photo albums. jAlbum galleries are today present on over 220 million web pages (Majetic.com). The variety of album skins and the possibility to personalize the presentation makes jAlbum extremely flexible. jAlbum has an active community that contributes to the development of the skins, plugins and language options.
