Download jAlbum 11

Version 11 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. 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 on-line storage space, are also available. New in version 11 includes support for videos and the editing tools Arty and AutoCorrection are included. The full changelog looks like this:
