Download jAlbum 10

Version 10 of jAlbum has been released. This program makes it easy to generate and edit professional looking HTML photo albums. In a clean interface, photos can be easily edited, the order can be changed and the appearance of the web page can be determined. If everything is to your liking, the result can be placed on a web page via the built-in ftp client. Because the software is developed in Java, jAlbum is available for a wide range of operating systems.

Version 10 is no longer free for commercial use. A license for version 10 and all 10-series updates costs 39 euros, removes all advertising and gives access to higher priority support. Also new is full support for xmp metadata, the possibility to integrate created albums into websites and the possibility to exchange images and even complete folders between different projects. The full changelog for version 10 looks like this:
