jAlbum: photo gallery software, licenses and hosting plans

Shopping at jAlbum? See all current jAlbum discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

jAlbum is desktop software for Windows, macOS and Linux that turns a folder of photos and videos into a complete gallery website. You drag photos in, pick a "skin" (a design template), press Make, then upload the result to your own site or to jAlbum's hosting. It has been around since 2002, and the company says users have published more than 120 million galleries. It suits photographers who want a portfolio they control, schools and clubs sharing event photos, families, and anyone wary of cloud services that lock you in. Because the galleries are plain web pages, they keep working even if you stop paying.

jAlbum is sold online, so there's nothing to ship. Checkout is handled by FastSpring, and US buyers see prices in US dollars. Every paid plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What's worth a look

There are two ways to pay: a license on its own if you already have web hosting, or an account that bundles a license with storage on jalbum.net.

If you have your own website, the Standard License at $29.50 covers non-commercial use, and the Pro License at $59.50 adds commercial use and shopping cart features in certain skins. Both include a year of updates and priority email support, and the software itself never expires. With no hosting of your own, the Premium account gives you 10GB of space and the Standard license for $53.88 a year, while Power (100GB) and Super (300GB) include the Pro license.

A few practical notes. The Pro License page offers multi-user discounts of 25% for 2 to 10 users, 35% for 11 to 50 and 45% for 51 to 100, which helps schools and studios. Hosted galleries live at yourname.jalbum.net, with storage in Europe or the US, and Premium lets you link two of your own domains while Power lets you link all of them. There are also apps for Android and iOS, Online jAlbum for building albums in a browser, and a user forum. Most skins are included with every plan, but a few third-party skins need their own license.

Current offers

We don't have any jAlbum codes on right now. The site's own savings are built into the plans: the free version handles galleries of up to 24 images, and the Power account page shows discounts of 15% for a year and 32% for two years compared with paying monthly.

How to save more

• Start with the free download and build a small album before you pay. The 30-day money-back guarantee covers you if a paid plan doesn't work out.
