Up until I found jAlbum (the "j" stands for Java), I was using several PHP-driven galleries (I have two very active photo galleries). These were all very good galleries, BUT the upkeep was killing. As soon as PHP comes on the scene, you have to spend a lot of time keeping PHP clean from release to release. Sometimes a new PHP release comes out, and a couple of features in the gallery stop working. And you now waste a ton of time trying to fix.

I then discovered jAlbum. I tried out their limited free release, very much liked what I saw and purchased the full edition. JAlbum makes creating an album very much easier, and because the whole process, up to export, is on your local machine, fast and easy to change. The "skins/themes" add to the whole experience of you being able to modify the look and feel to how you want things to look and interact with your users/visitors.

And very importantly, the number of photographs does not seem to be an issue. I have one album with over 25,000 photographs (the other album only has 20,000!), but I know of one user who told me he had over 45,000 photos and is still going strong.

So if you would like a really professional-looking Photographic Album(s), then look no further than jAlbum, and let PHP be a thing of the past.

I am not associated with jAlbum in any way except as a customer.

Some 20 years ago I searched for and tried a number of applications to create web galleries. After discovering jAlbum it became my only choice and I have been using it in its various iterations since then. It is fast and it's use ranges from creating easy, simple web albums to more complex multi-category sites, depending on your level of expertise. JAlbum has great flexibility in the "look" of your final presentation through the wide variety of themes or "skins" you can apply.

I love jAlbum. I am not a pro. I build a few websites now and then. Mostly I use jAlbum for my personal projects. I've been using jAlbum for well over a decade, maybe two.

I could not find the method by which to verify my current payment method. I finally gave up and had your support staff check it, evidently it was still valid.

Have been with jAlbum since the beginning and love the program, also David has been a great help when needed. Again Thanks.

I host a web page on my LAN. Anyone in my household can view our family album spanning decades on any local connected device, smart TV, mobile phone, laptop, whatever,

I run a bash script nightly to pick up any changes I have made to my collection and rebuild jAlbum. It's been working great for quite some time and makes local photo sharing very easy.

Thank you for developing this great tool

Cheers

The jAlbum people offer the best support you'll find anywhere. I upgraded jAlbum after 6 years, and something didn't work. I started a help ticket, and they got back to me within hours (on a Sunday!) and showed me how to fix the problem. I couldn't be happier.

JAlbum is easy to work with making web browsers and more advanced web sites. Various setting that can be overwhelming depending on the skin used, but once all set, it's easy to export setting to be used in future projects. If in need of assistance, their Customer Service is very fast, knowledgeable, and ready to help.

JAlbum works great for me. I can publish my photos and others can easily access them. Simple to use, simple for remote publishing, and reliable.

Use it routinely for my non profit and personal. Easy to use yet flexible. Worth the cost. A workflow must.

This is amazing software! Its very intuitive, and Ive had no trouble figuring it all out (tho i do have experience with web dev, css and php/sql driven sites) You can get a gallery up so fast. I have so many uses for it too! Its great that it can function as a shopping cart, allows comments, Facebook integration and even hosts videos. And the presentation is so nice, using lightbox and slideshow functionality. Ive been trying to get away from php coz of the security issues and this is a great alternative that is really secure. I wish i had this 10 yrs ago!

Creating Photo Albums to share with our Family, friends and Photo Club members.
Makes it so easy to create a family album for 39 family members and post the album to the
JAlbum assigned space for me.
I am approaching 90 years and seriously considering closing my print darkroom.

I enjoy the simplicity and the ability to choose from 100's of different themes and updating a site is a no brainer.

I use JAlbum to build handsome, easy to share (online) collections ("albums") of my extensive digital photography. It's a snap to use, always reliable and constantly get improved. Thank you JAlbum crew!

JAlbum streamlines the process of building online albums, removing the usual technical headaches while still offering deep customization options to ensure the final result perfectly matches your vision.

In 1996 I got my first digital camera and began taking and sharing photos online. As my collection grew to over a quarter of a million images, I had to switch software many times. All other solutions I tried eventually crumbled under the weight of so many times. I am glad I found Jalbum so many years ago. My galleries here so large? I had to split them up into multiple sub-sites on my server due to exceeding Linux file count limits - while Jalbum never had any such issues. Although I miss the speed and simplicity of earlier solutions I used (Jalbum takes may hours to process one of my subsections, even on an M2 Mac with 24gb RAM), having something slower that works is preferable to something faster that crashes.
