With a variety of professional-looking skins, and the ability to create on your local PC (for upload), or to create entirely online, jAlbum provides maximum flexibility. It is easy to use -- and jAlbum provides exactly what I need without viewing clutter, advertisements, or pop-ups. Simple, clean, and reasonably priced. I have been a jAlbum user for over 6 years.
There is not enough technical support. I inherited this platform and cannot ever find easy guidance for basic changes to the platform.

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.
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!
Have used jAlbum for so many years, I'm not sure when I started. Incredible, flexible software. I have recommended to many peers and students in those years. Excellent support and response.

Happy to hear that. Thanks for spreading the word too Cathy!
When renewing you have the option to change the number of jalbum users but only to increase not decrease.
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 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!
There are lots of bugs. The software is not very intuitive.

Even after being away for a time, it was easy to find my stuff & update it. Keep up the good work.
We'll do that. Thank you for your kind review!
Just love your product and all of it's features. Been using it for a few years now and I have the Pro license.
Thank you John! We hope you stick with us for many more years to come:-)
I've been a jAlbum client and user for many years. Loved it from the first time I tried it.
Great to hear. Thank you for taking the time to write this review Greg!
I've been a jAlbum client for likely 15 years, maybe more. I love the new features they add, but for the most part I still use it like I always have. That is, I make photo albums for my websites. And why do I use jAlbum? Because it works!
I use it to publish my photos on my website. It's extremely flexible and offers a broad array of styles and features that can be incorporated.
Thank you!
I've used jAlbum for a number of projects and find it a pleasure to work with. It is easy to use, flexible and I've gotten great results. I especially like the ability to tag photos and have the tags display in the Tag Cloud that gives users a table of contents.
Thanks for your review Rich. We especially like that you exemplify things you like.
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.
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.
Have used jAlbum for a number of years and would recommend it highly! Ease of use is a real plus and the completed photo albums always look. Great!
Happy to hear. Thanks Bill!
Great product and support! And have used it for years. I would highly recommend!
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 have used or tried every major photography gallery program available and jAlbum flexibility and output quality are the best on the market!
Blushing happily here:-). Thank you John!
As always, my question about a specific function I needed in how to get something done, and where to find that feature in the client. Thank you!
Thank you Alan!
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.
Hi David. If reading https://jalbum.net/help/en/Publish_to_your_own_site doesn't help, please consult our friendly user forum at https://jalbum.net/forum or write us at support@jalbum.net
Jalbum is great, with just a few clicks you can bring a collection of photos online.
Indeed:-) Than you Willi!
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 a hot air balloon website and we are constantly adding photos and videos to our site and this makes it easier to accomplish.
Happy to hear that jAlbum helps you with this. Enjoy!
Experienced some problems with my albums' upload but the the Help Desk provided all support I needed.
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

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.
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.
