I've been using JAlbum since a few years after its introduction. It continues to get better each year and is unmatched in quality and functionality. The skins are excellent, and the support I have received regarding customization and issue resolution has been nothing short of amazing. You can see my albums at https://edgewoodgardens.net/image-galleries/.
While still learning J, finding it should be a great new tool for my various websites.
But there are lots and lots of options that, do not appear to follow a flow or matches on the pages. Easy to click here, clash there, or click 3 options here and have to go over there for 2 similar.
I continue to miss a check box with new projects, often having to fumble around to find it buried on one of the many settings pages.
Thanks for your feedback. Please let us know what skin you're referring to. Each skin is like a program within the program. You will also benefit from using CTRL+Space to type your way to the right setting. That's FAR faster than browsing through the many panels.
I have been using jAlbum on my own paid-for host servers since 2013. It is an excellent product that is continually and meaningfully improved and does quite well precisely what it was intended for: it enables users who have minimal programming skills to create individual well organized, scalable, professional, nice looking web-based photo albums that are easy to maintain. More important, the team at jAlbum have always, ALWAYS been responsive, helpful, and patient. Requests for support or advice are answered almost in real time, and are always helpful, even sometimes including a snippet or two of custom code that lets me do something differently than was intended. In sum, I use a lot of different kinds of software every single day. IMO, jAlbum is among the very best in terms of value, support, ease of use, and being able to do what I need quickly and without frustration.
Thanks for taking the time to write up this review on jAlbum. Much appreciated!
I am just getting started with the software and feel like I've only learned.01 percent of its capabilities and already accomplished 90% of what I needed to do with making a responsive website display of 1700+ pictures collected over almost 20 years.
Tech support has been surprisingly very quick and helpful.
We're so glad you're getting along fine with jAlbum Jeff!
Jalbum allows me to quickly create product websites for my remodel bids. I can share images of project materials to make sure my customer and I are on the same page. Really has separated me from my competition!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience on how jAlbum makes a positive difference. Feel free to share your gallery with us as well!
I used jAlbum years ago to build a portfolio site using the Banana Album skin. It was ok then but now the interface is outdated and clunky. NO WSIWYG, previews, and many cryptic options. I could't get the skin to fit my needs and many skins are just no longer supported...too bad
I've used album for almost 20 years, just doing simple stuff, usually with the same skin, sometimes adding comments for each or most pictures which can make the album into a story. It's easy to use and publish each album, it works equally well with Linux or Windows. I do wonder... for someday when I want to stop paying for the storage+server and the HTML/whatever that is published... wonder if I can export each album back to my own systems. I would not expect that, but it does sound like it would be easy (but not beneficial to the jalbum team!) to implement. For all I know, such an export/copy already exists. I upgraded my storage amount once and expect that will hold me for many years to come...thanks! Meanwhile google photos keeps trying to improve and compete, but I don't expect the same thing from google.
Thanks for your review! JAlbum never locks you in. You can download full galleries back to your computer. Just connect to your account, the right-click a gallery and select "Download". To later on upload that gallery to another computer, connect to the new account and drag and drop the downloaded gallery folder onto the desired destination.
The photo albums are fantastic and the various skins allow for excellent viewing experiences. This is a great tool.
Really happy to hear this. Thank you William!
I purchased jAlbum years ago and put pictures on your on-line server. It constantly rejected my renewal for two weeks or more. You were unable to resolve the problem until recently but I wasn't notified it was resolved. I tried again and my credit card was accepted.
Sorry to hear about that experience. Were you in contact directly with us (support@jalbum.net) or our payment partner Fastspring?
Seems to be a nice update, just wish a few of the old skins worked. Oh well, guess we will look for new ones

Thanks for these kind positive words John! Nice to see the Lizard skin in use as well:-). I think we can all relate to experiences with crappy customer support. It seems to me that the larger the company is, the lower the support quality is.
