Reviewed by: CNET Staff
JAlbum is a long-time favorite free Web album generator. There's no wizard to direct you through the process, but a quick look through the menus will be enough to get you started creating image collections online.
To get started, specify the original image folder, set the album-destination folder, select the images, and generate the album--it's really not more complicated than that. Using the integrated FTP client, you can upload your album to your Web site or you can use the integrated Web server to serve your album from your computer. The JAlbum site also lets you post your projects to their Web hosting service for free, as long as you don't mind registering your name and e-mail address. There are several great-looking templates and skins to choose from, with more skins available online from JAlbum.
Recent versions include a lot of new tools, most notably a photo editor for basic manipulations, such as red-eye removal and cropping. If you've been looking for a new way to post your photos, JAlbum is a great choice with an extremely easy-to-use interface and plenty of options to create the perfect album.

The application's additional features include support for IPTC/EXIF data, style sheets, lossless image manipulation, pluggable image filters, and a built-in FTP/SFTP client.
What's new in this version:

Version: JAlbum 8.6
"Love it! Most versatile album I've found; easy to use."
Pros: Large choice of skins, extremely discreet advertising, easy to host on own server, and all this for free!
Cons: Would like more skins that have automatic slideshows.
Summary: It's easy to use, quick, and customizable. I can choose how each album looks by picking one of many skins and then customize the skins further, to pretty much design it to my own specifications. The two times I needed support, they were prompt and ... read more >>
