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!

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 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!
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.

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.

Well put Lance. Thank you for taking the time to write this review!
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 Kelly. We're happy to hear this!
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.
Date of experience: November 28, 2023
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 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 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!

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!

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.

I've been a Jalbum user for many years. It keeps on getting better. My only complaint is that Jalb um albums seem to have a low priority for indexing by Google.
Date of experience: April 30, 2023
Thanks Jay. We haven't heard about any such indexing problems. Do discuss it with fellow jAlbum users at https://jalbum.net/forum
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.

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...

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.
