Download jAlbum 11.6

Version 11.6 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 adjusted, 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. The Windows version has issues with some versions of Java and is therefore bundled with Java, resulting in a larger download.

Since version 10, the program is no longer free for commercial use and ads are used in the free version. A standard license for version 11 and all 11 series updates costs 39 euros, removes all advertising and gives access to higher priority support. Other licenses, for commercial use or in conjunction with cloud storage, are also available available. If you don’t need these new options or would rather not show ads with their photos, you can still version 9 to download. In version 11.5 the following changes and improvements have been made:
