Guide Review - A Review of Online Jalbum Online Photo Albums

The standard Jalbum offers users a quick way to create photo albums and slideshows that fit their personality. The new Online Jalbum makes online photo album creation even quicker.

The Online Jalbum allows for multiple image uploading, quick arrangement by drag and drop, photo captions, simple online photo editing via Pixlr, several album designs to choose from, and a simple internet address for your album.

Online Jalbum is free with an option for upgrading your account to include more features like: no advertisements (the free album has very limited ads), more storage, and more album themes.

The Online Jalbum is a basically a very quick way to get a polished looking photo album online. It is not designed for hotlinking to forums and such, although you can right click and copy the image location to use in coding for forums. Safeguards like the automatic watermarking available on some themes in the full Jalbum are not available on the Online Jalbum but overall it is a very user friendly and nice online photo album.

Password protection is also available for those wishing to upload private albums. This is a very nice feature for families separated by large distances or photographers needing a quick portfolio site for specific clients.
