JAlbum is a gallery software that makes web albums from your digital images. We aim to make it the easiest to use and most powerful tool in this category and always keep it free! So far over 7 million photo albums have been published with JAlbum and the software is started every 7 seconds somewhere in the world.

Features

  • Easy to use. Just drag and drop images and image folders onto JAlbum and press "Make album"
  • Flexible. Album appearance can be highly customized through use of skins (album themes). Use or modify one of the many existing skins or create your own album look by making your own skin!
  • Arrange and select images easily by using drag and drop in an Explorer-like user interface. Edit comments, rotate images and run slide shows off your local hard disk.
  • Share your albums over the Internet straight from your local hard disk by using JAlbum's integrated web server - It is as easy as clicking a button. Your viewers only need their web browser to view albums.
  • Publish the created album on the Internet in a snap with an integrated smart FTP and SFTP client with synchronization ability. With JAlbum you decide where to put your album.

What's New

News and Updates

  • Completely rewritten image tools (details below). See blog post
  • New face recognition: jAlbum finds the faces in your images and suggests names once you've named a person a few times. Confirm or correct suggestions to teach jAlbum. See blog post
  • Face recognition runs entirely on your computer. The recognition engine and models are downloaded from jalbum.net on first use only, with progress shown in the status bar
  • Face recognition can be turned on or off per project via the new face icon in the status bar or the project's context menu. The default is set under Preferences > General > "Recognize faces by default"
  • New "Naming accuracy" and "Minimum face size" settings control how sure jAlbum must be before suggesting a name, and let it ignore small faces in the background
  • New "Group by tags" organizer moves images into folders named after the people in them
  • Names can be saved in the image files as standard XMP face regions, so other programs see them too
  • The Explorer's "Label type" menu is now called "Show" and has new People and Tags editors. Double-click an image to name the people in it
  • The tag filter and Search Bar now finds people as well as keywords
  • Rewritten crop tool, now includes straightening (the separate Straighten tool has been retired; existing albums still render as before)
  • New Adjust tool, replacing old image adjustment tools. The new tool avoids clipping, banding and rounding errors and brings new color adjustments as seen in most modern image editing software
  • Rewritten Text tool
  • New Shapes tool: lines, arrows, ovals, rectangles, rounded rectangles and speech bubbles, with text inside any shape
  • Crop and Adjust stay open while moving between images
  • Image tools are now on/off toggles, and a dot shows which tools, faces and audio clips an image has
  • The font chooser remembers your recently used fonts
  • Peek now shows cropped and otherwise edited images at full panel size
  • Removed the Area Tagging extension (jAlbum now handles face regions itself)
  • Updated bundled skins
  • Bundled new Peacock skin
  • Updated translations. Thank you dear translators!

  • Cancelling an already applied image tool didn't always restore its previous settings
  • Property panels of Edit mode could jump when expanding them
