my needs for such tools are rare

my needs for such tools are rare. So it's not easy to create albums while forgotting previous work with J-album. I used it only 2/3 times, and, after some time to learn its possibilities, i'm afraid having forgotten this investment. But i was proud of the results for myself, less for the returns... If a new purpose occurs I wille probably return to J-Album.

It is a great product

It is a great product, particularly suitable for people who lack coding skills. I love it for the ease of use and the amazing results. However, there are a few bugs and problems that need to be corrected. For instance, I am not able to italicize the scientific names of the organisms shown in the photo galleries I have made.

Hi, Doing so should certainly be possible using the embedded html editor. (Right-click and select "Open HTML editor"). If uncertain, just post in our forum at https://jalbum.net/forum

The renewal process did not go well

The renewal process did not go well. Initially failing, I emailed support enquiring as to why (the message was not helpful). Response was slow so I kept trying with payment - and finally succeeded. Eventually heard from support (with an apology for the slow response).
Still love the product though.

Thanks Rod. Sorry you experienced slow response from us.

Very happy

I can say many things, but would stick to this: I get a sense of a group of people really wanting to provide a good and improving service, not only software wise, but especially with their interactions with clients. Very happy with them!

Migrating 15,000 photos from another gallery

It’s a good product. I’m glad I bought it. I keep thinking I’ll have questions since it is thorough software, but I always have found the right settings.

I’m migrating 15,000 photos out of a ZenPhoto gallery (I liked it at first, but it runs so slow with that many photos, Plus with ZenPhoto I have to configure sql and the php has to be continually upgraded.) jAlbum solves all these problems!

Indeed, and without relying on server-side code, jAlbum galleries are far less sensitive to security vulnerabilities too. Thanks for your words!

Happy User for 20 Years!

I've been using jAlbum for over two decades to organize and present my travel and family photos and videos, and the application has gone from strength to strength. Over the years, new, useful features have been added, including the ability to handle newer file formats (like AVIF), multiple options for organizing the material, and a built-in uploader that's an order of magnitude faster and better at keeping things in sync than any third-party FTP app. At the same time, it's become more robust, with much-improved error handling, and has become much, much faster at processing the images. The developers have always been very responsive to user requests.

The themes that are developed in-house and are bundled with the app have been greatly expanded and improved. But the real overlooked gems lie in some of the free, third-party themes, several of which create aesthetically pleasing albums that operate smoothly, without screen clutter and distractions - the visitor experience is exceptional. Many of them include a wide range of customization options, have complete online user's manuals, are well-supported, and seem to be bulletproof. They're all there for free downloading from jAlbum's skin repository.

Thank you for your warming words Jeff! Indeed, one shouldn't overlook the 3:rd party skins. Some are very popular and well supported as you say.
