I have been using jAlbum for several years now to maintain my personal family website and I am very pleased with its expansive functionality, ease of use and performance. I have researched several others and find jAlbum to be superior in functionality for the price. I highly recommend it.
I'm very pleased with jAlbum on my iMac. I've been using it to compile annual albums of the plants and flowers in my garden for several years, and it really makes the project simple. The service is outstanding -- questions are answered promptly and the staff has been most helpful. Now if Apple would only put its comments, captions, etc into the standard format for metadata, all would be well. As it is, I use MetaImage to edit all of that stuff before running jAlbum, and it puts everything in the right places.
We're happy to hear this. Thank you for explaining how you use jAlbum and about this metadata hint as well. Yes, wouldn't it be good if all IT companies avoided lock-in, like jAlbum, by using open formats?
I've been using jAlbum for years and just in the last couple of years have started uploading my albums to your servers. The process works flawlessly and easily, so kudos are in order there. JAlbum itself works great -- it would be even better if Apple stored titles, captions, and comments in EXIF like everyone else, but they don't. So I use a third party app (Metaimage) to get the data into EXIF where jAlbum can extract it effortlessly and use it in building the albums. Overall, I'm very pleased with both the jAlbum app which has gotten consistently better and faster over the years, and with the service and technical help I've gotten.
I have never found another application that is more suited to publishing your photos for the web. Easy and intuitive to use. Provides the freedom to change styles to suit your needs or design your own.
Blushing here:-). Thank you Dennis!
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 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!
Jalbum works seamlessly with your domain and web server. This tool makes making web albums easy. Perfect way to organize and share your year's worth of pics! Endless options so you can display your pics the way you want to!
Well put Lance. Thank you for taking the time to write this review!
I've been using jAlbum for a number of years now and have always been extremely happy with both the product and the customer service and support when I've had questions. The best product available of it's type! Highly recommended!
Thank you Kelly. We're happy to hear this!
I used jAlbum to build my first website and it was very user friendly. I have also used it as a repository for photo projects that I have used on other sites. JAlbum has allowed me to catalog my photos and apply copyright notices. It continues to be a valuable tool for me.
Thank you for taking your time to write this review Enos!
I have been using jAlbum for 23 years. I like the way I am able to create one-of-a-kind albums, as well as organizing my photographs within the album. I am very pleased with jAlbum and will continue to use the product, as well as recommend the product to others.
Thank you Rene! You spreading the word on jAlbum means a lot to us.
I find the jAlbum interface and structure difficult to learn. It takes a lot of time to figure it out. Creating a gallery structure and getting photos into it should not be difficult, especially when trying to avoid duplicate uploads. Some of teh terminology is odd.
That's saddening to hear, but I value your comments. What the few negative people fail to explain is specifically what they find hard. It's sadly always sweeping terms. If you could detail more specifically what words and user interface parts you've found confusing in an email to us at support@jalbum.net then we promise that we will read it carefully!
I am the president of a community band and have a large portfolio of videos of our concerts. I had an issue of the titles disappearing from the videos once the portfolio was generated. Within a day they were able to update the software and I was able to make a very handsome portfolio. They also helped me with a server to host my portfolio.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review Warren!
I use jAlbum as my way to build and share collections of my 50 years of photography.
(I used my slow but terrific Nikon slide scanner to high-res digitize mountains of slides and negatives!)
Example? See https://www.dragon-and-lion.com/FranceSlidesMap/ [please see if you wish but DO NOT PUBLISH, thank you!). (For this photo series -- I built a simple one-page "website" -- having URL links to various JAlbum slide shows up on my domain.) Love the ability to display my carefully created "file names" as explanatory legends for each image. JAlbum program is solid, non-buggy and fun to use. Thank you!
Thank you for writing this and sharing that wonderful scenery. Makes me want to move to France!

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've been using jAlbum for quite a while, I can't say I use it every year, but I keep current, and when I do use it, I tend to do a big complex project and then leave it alone for some time...
Does what it says it does and pretty damn well too!
We're really happy to hear this. Thank you Bill!
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 have used this off and on for several years. Don't expect a fully featured app. The point of jalbum is to publish your images quickly and easily. And for that, it works very well;.
Thanks James. If you're missing anything in particular, let us know by writing support@jalbum.net
I've used JAlbum for several years. It's highly flexible and looks very professional plus their support is second to none. I would highly recommend it.
Thank you Thomas!
I've been using jAlbum for a really long time. Never have I found an application to be so reliable and comprehensive. It helps me create professional photo albums that my viewers enjoy using.
Thank you so much for your review Egidio!
I wanted to get access to an album my sister created before she died. Her subscription had expired. I emailed for help, got an answer quickly and the solution was clearly explained.
I'm glad we could help out and I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks for writing this review
Very frustrating no serious support. Difficult sign up finally worked it out myself. I album excuse no help on line. The program is very good once you learn the basics.
