While slide maps displayed fine, the folder map did not. The issue was tracked down to a Mac file being "ingested" by jAlbum and gumming up the works. (technical terms). Kudos to Laza.
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.
Thanks for taking the time to write this review Will. Enjoy jAlbum!
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!
Thank you Stephen. We're so pleased reading this.
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 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.

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!
Clarified my understanding of license, solved my problem.
Happy to hear you're satisfied with us and that we could assist Scott!
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 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!
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!
I build small albums infrequently and I am not a power user. For me, the overall workflow is very smooth and quick. A key for me is the FTP capability. Support has been great. But I have gotten confused choosing image sizes and setting parameters and have had a few do-overs. I am not sure I take full advantage of jAlbum capabilities. I think it comes down to limited documentation and lack of good tutorials and Youtube videos. That is why I gave it 4 stars instead of five.
Thanks for your review. We take note of your suggestions. New YouTube videos are planned.
I'm an amateur photographer. I needed a place to post some of my pictures and videos to share with family and friends. JAlbum software was simply to use to create a website. The price for a Premium Account which includes website hosting was reasonable. The skins included are very good. I would highly recommend jAlbum software!
Thank you Tom for sharing your positive experience with us. Means a lot to us.
So simple to use and updates make it work even better
Indeed:-) Thank you for your words!
I have been a long time user of jAlbum on my own website where I use it to display the photos of my photography trips. It allows me to quickly incorporate my edited photos in an album form that ensures my repeat viewers are familiar with the format. I love it!
Happy to hear that. Thank you for your review and for choosing jAlbum Rick!
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
Good that we could sort it out. Thanks for your review Tony!
