The app has become very sluggish and timed out often
I have the latest version
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.
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.
Thanks for sharing. If you're ever able to reproduce this problem, let us know how and we'll do our best to resolve it once and for all.
I use the software for a family photo album. I've been very happy with the product and when I've needed support. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for your review!
I have used jAlbum for years and really like its utility.
Happy to hear that and to having you around for such long time Roy. Thanks for your review!
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!
The jAlbum software is one of the best, if not the best apps for photographers to display their photos on the internet. The personal touch & tech support is incredibly superb.
Blushing here:-) Thank you for your kind words GW!
I like the feature set and usually the album I end up with. But every time I start a new album I spend way way too much time trying to get the settings correct. I can't seem to figure out how to say "Make it like that previous album." And there are the updates that change everything, and there are a bazillion setting to dig through. It is very frustrating.
See File->Import->"Settings from published album" or File->"Import settings from project". You can also use File->"Save as default" to automatically get your desired defaults applied for future projects. You can even use defaults on a skin-by-skin basis using File->"Save as skin default".
To easily find your way through the many settings, use jAlbum's search bar (CTRL+SPACE). It takes you straight to the desired setting.
I hope this info removes your frustration and adds some stars to your review:-)

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.
Very happy to hearing this. Thanks for sharing your positive experience with jAlbum Steve!

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.
After a little practice jalbum is easy to use. Has the best features.
But that nothing compared to their personal service.
Blushing here:-). Thank you Paul!
I've been using jAlbum for a couple of decades now, and it keeps getting easier to work with and more capable. Highly recommended.
Only program I use to make my website photos. I create them and review them then upload to my website.
Happy to hear that Michael! Thanks for your review!
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!
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.
Blushing here:-). Thanks Harvey!
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.
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 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
