I recently made two albums. It went pretty smoothly with a little exploration and reading the help. I'm a webmaster and am having trouble finding how to put the complete code and files into my websites.

Seems to be a nice update, just wish a few of the old skins worked. Oh well, guess we will look for new ones

The photo albums are fantastic and the various skins allow for excellent viewing experiences. This is a great tool.

Dear Ernest,
Sorry to hear you have problems with our app. Please contact us at support@jalbum.net so we can work out a solution. We need to know at what point in time/usage it becomes sluggish for starters. Ideally, if you can provide a screen recording, please pass that on to us.
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.

Great interface and super easy to use. While I don't use all of the functionality, there is a lot that you can do with the application.

Indeed:-) Thank you Steve!
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.

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!

Thank you Stephen. We're so pleased reading this.
I have used J album for over 20 years. It is an integral part of my business preview delivery.
Very good service for customer presentation.

Thank you Stephen for taking the time writing this review!
Somewhat nice program but not very different from previous versions. Would not recommend to a freind.
Date of experience: August 27, 2024
Please write us at support@jalbum.net and explain what major changes you're missing. Without knowing that, we cannot fulfil your wishes.
I think I started using jAlbum in 2007. It's been a great way to host my photojournals on my own website and I love the many updates.

Thanks Ryan. We're so glad that you're happy with us
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,

We couldn't have said it better:-). Thanks Stephen!
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.

Happy to hear that Kim. Thank you for your review!
So basically it is just a wonderful image program to use. I have used it for a very many years at this point. The people you may get in contact are super good.

Used it for years. Super software, great support. Can only recommend.

I finally upgraded to the latest version and am really happy I did. A great program to put photographs and videos, with music, on the web in minutes. I can open the program, add photos, add music, and put it online for my family in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommended...

Really happy you like the update. Thanks Grant!
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.

We're so happy to read this. Thank you Greg. Wishing you many more happy years with jAlbum!
I have been using jAlbum for several years now. I process thousands of pictures for my hiking website. It gives me a level of control and customization that no other program offers. The frequent updates of the main programs and skins keeps everything fresh.

Thank you for outlining how you use jAlbum and what you appreciate it for Ralph!
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.

Thanks for sharing your positive experience with jAlbum!
JAlbum provides me a platform for presenting my photographic work in a format with a professional appearance. The ability to select skins independent of the content lets me quickly identify the best presentation for a given album. The user interface is intuitive, and, because it is a mature software product, it functions smoothly without surprises. Very satisfied.
Date of experience: November 11, 2023
Thank you Steve! We're glad that you took the time to write this review and also that you elaborated on why you like jAlbum.
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.

Hi Frederick, Please post these questions to our user forum at https://jalbum.net/forum
I like jAlbum a lot and have used it for years. However, the user interface is difficult and hard to use - a high learning curve. I enjoy photography and one of the last things I want to do is spend time researching and learning new program procedures and looks, therefore I just keep doing the same thing every time rather that try different looks and skins. Ease of use has improved over the years however suggest you employ a Mac programmer to simplify the user interface while allowing paths for Advanced procedures. I am still trying to figure out how to change the directory location after a slideshow has been started or completed. I am thankful for the subscription features since it ensures continuity and viability. Thank you and wishing you continues success.

Thanks for your valuable feedback Jim. We've taken several steps to make jAlbum more intuitive lately, especially if you switch to our new default skin "Plain" instead of "Tiger". Please consider it. On the "switch directory" issue: You can either simply move the project folder to a different location or open Settings-General and edit the directory location from there. If you have other "friction points" with jAlbum, let us know by writing support@jalbum.net. This will also make it easier for us to make jAlbum more intuitive for users.
I had a problem updating to the latest install; after a few failed attempts on my part, I sent an email for assistance; although cautioned that it might take a few days to receive a reply, I got an email from Anders within a few hours. The instructions provided were right on point and I was able to successfully update to the latest version. Very much appreciate the quick customer service and am glad to have a paid license!

Thank you for taking your time to writing about your positive experience with us Cacha. Much appreciated.
I've been using various versions of this software for more than a decade. I also use their web hosting service. The software provides a wonderful variety of function, although it can take a while to learn how to exploit it all. That leads to the second point. The customer service is superb--whether to help solve a problem or explain how to accomplish something. I know of *no* other photo album software that can match this one--in either function or service.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us. Hoping to have you around for at least another decade:-)
Only that the uploading of new materials has resulted in a hiccup on multiple occasions, which then took HOURS to rebuild all my 12,000 images instead of just the 100 I updated. That's right.
I just let it do it's thing and then all is well. Just my experience. Not all the time either. Go figure.
David and others have tried their best to help me. Something glitchy.

Thanks for sharing Jim. If we can find any pattern in that experience, then we'll likely be able to resolve it once and for all. So far it remains a mystery.
I've been using jAlbum since v12.x.
The consistency of software enhancements by the people at this company have been stellar. Today's v31.1.2 is the quickest to use in every respect.
When contacting the info desk with a question/concern, the response time has always been prompt and appreciated.
While I do very few online reviews, I've no hesitation in saying that the folks at jAlbum have made organizing and posting my images a pleasure.

We're blushing here:-) Thank you Larry!
Starting my 2nd year using jAlbum and didn't hesitate to purchase another year's upgrades and support. Bit of a learning curve, but once I got over that, creating, modifying and updating my albums is a piece of cake. The software I *was* using literally took hours to do updates and sometimes days to create new albums. With jAlbum, updates and changes take minutes and even a brand new, multi-hundred image album, with captions, can be done in a couple hours or less.
Excellent bang for the buck!

Happy to hear that. Thank you for taking time to write this review Kevin!

Why use jAlbum?
<ul>
<li> Integrity: YOU have full control of the management, storage, and presentation of your images no lock-in. Host your images with us or with any web hotel you like. Your galleries will work - even without us.
<li> Convenience: Manage large amounts of images right from your PC no need to upload them to an online service in order to pick the best ones for presentation and add captions. This is better done locally, and works offline too!
<li> Expression: Not all web sites look alike, so why should your galleries? With jAlbum, you can customize the visuals and functionality of your galleries to your liking.
</ul>
jAlbum is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
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.
