I had used jAlbum years ago, but recently upgraded to the latest version. It is even easier to use than before and makes it very easy to create a professional looking album and share it online.
I thought I was only purchasing software that runs on my PC, used to create HTML that I would then upload to my server. I think (still not sure) that I may have paid for use of jAlbum's server space which I do not need.

JAlbum continually works to improve their product. Their service support when needed has been extremely helpful. JAlbum has been the best product in the market place for years and their service and documentation make jAlbum a real value.
Blushing here:-). Thank you!
I was a user of jAlbum several years ago and once my kids got of a certain age stopped making and publishing albums. Recently I ran across some old family pictures that I scanned and wanted to share. I came back to jAlbum, updated my license, and found that making and sharing albums is even easier and SO FAST. JAlbum even restored old albums to my cloud storage from years ago. This is a great product backed by a fantastic team!
Welcome back, and thank you for sharing your positive experience!
Been utilizing Jalbum for 15 years. My clients love it and so do I.
The customer support is unrivaled in our industry. Thank you David E!

Many thanks for your warming words Jim, and for providing a great showcase for a jAlbum gallery!
I've used jAlbum for a decade or so to manage my photo albums. It's worked well. I've used PSE 13 for a decade to catalog, edit, and format images and would love to be able to use jAlbum to accomplish this step too. Recently, I upgraded 2 releases after obtaining an additional 25% discount in addition to the 30%. There was no real new features for what I do but I did notice a great improvement in the physical building and upload process. I really would pay additional money for an upgraded tool so I can replace my PSE 13 SW that is still working, but I fear will stop working some day in a future windows. I need robust file cateloging, tagging, and standard photo editing tools along with bulk conversion. I can only hope:-)
Thank you for your positive review. Please write us at support@jalbum.net and outline more specifically what photo editing and cataloguing features you're missing
It's going well but I have lost data a couple of tine. It seems fast and I di like the direct FTP upload.
After apparently loosing data, I imported that which I have on my website into a new project and it was a real mess, thumbnails images in all folders.
I deleted everything and started again.
I will learn and improve then give you a more positive rating.
Please let us know more about the import issue. JAlbum should import published jAlbum galleries fine if you rely on File->Import. Just write us at support@jalbum.net and outline how you did the import.
Service and notifications are top notch. The software is easy to use and provides a lot of flexibility.
Happy you share this. Thanks Randall!
JAlbum is not only the easiest and most creative way to create photo albums for the web, they also are very responsive if you run into a problem or bug.
Really happy we could help out to resolve your problem. Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us!
I was previously using a combination of hard coded HTML and a freeware album generator to develop my picture blog. Changes were very time consuming and managing upload locations to my hosting provider was very tedious. I stumbled upon jAlbum about 3 years ago and found it would make managing my site's content MUCH easier. It was a bit of a learning curve, but the community support was great and I was quickly able to 'migrate' my pages over and build my entire site. The features and capabilities are FAR beyond what a simple review can show. JAlbum is worth every penny!
Thank your for your positive words on jAlbum Kevin! Really appreciate it.
I've been using it for many years now, and it's a wonderful product. It does exactly what I need, quickly and correctly.
Thank you for your warming positive words Albert. Means a lot to us!
Been Withalbum since it started Keep trying new things to see if there's anything out there that would be better or different and I keep going back to the easy flow and view ability of Jalbum
Happy to hear that you keep coming back Drew! Thanks for your review.
My album can display reduced resolution images fine, but when I choose "link to hi-res images", I get a "file missing" error. Early versions of J-Album worked flawlessly. I wasted my money on this new version.
My settings are set to link the thumbnail images to the the hi-res images. When I click on the thumbnail, I get an image not found error. If I chose a setting to link to the reduced images, it works fine. The early version of jAbum never had this problem.
I have been a JAlbum client for many years now. It is easy to use at my level. They make upgrades regularly.
Whenever I have question they are quick to reply. It is easy to share albums with friends. I am a happy customer!
Happy to hear that. Thanks Gerard!
After using Jalbum for many years, I quit using it due to my web server going down. I migrated to a new environment and decided to upgrade to the latest Jalbum release. The install worked perfectly on an Ubuntu system and after reaching out to support for a question on parameeter settings, I received the correct answer that resolved my problem.
Happy to hear that it worked out so fine eventually. Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us.
I had a great shopping experience with jAlbum. Easy to maneuver the website. Easy to find the information I needed to renew my subscription, and great price. I enjoy using jAlbum for my website design projects.
Really happy to hear that you've had such a positive experience with us. Thanks for sharing!
JAlbum provides the photo album presentation that matches my preferences. It is the way that I think these things should be done.
Happy to hear that. You're not alone. Thanks for sharing!
This is the best web album software I have ever seen. Easy to use, easy to change templates, easy to publish. Fits all types of needs from a simple photo album on your computer to a web album to a photographer's portfolio. Well worth the price!
Thanks for your truly encouraging words on jAlbum Kurt!
I don't like the fact that that you can't store the completed video on a cd or as a file that you can share without having to upload it to your storage.
I'm sorry but that's false. You can produce video galleries using jAlbum that you can place and run straight from a CD/USB memory without involving our storage or any external storage. You DO need to ensure that you use a skin that's not relying on. Json files though. That's a browser restriction, and not something imposed by us. Use skins like Animatics, Lucid or Minimal, or most 3: rd party skins.
With this info, I hope you re-rate jAlbum. As it currently is, your rating lowers our average
I am happy with JAlbum's service. I have used it for years as a link from my website.
I would suggest it to anyone wishing to host their pictures
Thanks Peter. Happy to hear that!
