So, you're ready to cancel CapCut Pro. Maybe you just needed it for one project, or maybe you're tired of seeing that monthly charge for an app you barely use. CapCut, launched by ByteDance in 2020, is a powerhouse for making those viral TikToks and Reels, especially with all the chatter around the latest 'photo dump' trends. But a Pro subscription can cost you anywhere from $7.99 to $74.99, and you could save up to $75 a year by canceling. This guide will walk you through canceling on iOS, Android, and Desktop, so you can stop the charges without the headache.
How to Cancel Capcut Pro on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to Capcut Pro on your iPhone, your subscription is managed directly through your Apple ID. It's a bit buried in the settings, but here’s how to find it.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray gear icon on your iPhone's home screen to open Settings.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other media settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on the Subscriptions option. This will show you all the active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple account.
4 Find and Select Capcut
Scroll through the list of your active subscriptions until you find Capcut. Tap on it to open the subscription details.
5 Cancel Subscription
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see a red Cancel Subscription button. Tap it and confirm your choice. The subscription will now show an expiration date instead of a renewal date.
How to Cancel Capcut Pro on Android
For Android users, your Capcut Pro subscription is handled by the Google Play Store. The process is pretty straightforward once you know where to look.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find and tap the Google Play Store app icon on your Android device.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
In the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions. This is where Google manages all your recurring charges.
4 Select Subscriptions
On the next screen, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active app subscriptions.
5 Find Capcut and Cancel
Locate Capcut in the list and tap on it. Then, tap the Cancel subscription button at the bottom and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. Honestly, I had to tap it twice for it to register.
How to Cancel Capcut Pro on Desktop or Laptop
Canceling on a desktop can be a little confusing because it depends on where you originally signed up. There isn't a separate billing system just for the desktop app.
1 Determine Your Subscription Provider
Capcut's desktop billing is typically tied to the same account you used on mobile. If you subscribed on an iPhone, you'll manage it through Apple. If on Android, you'll use Google.
2 For Apple Subscriptions (on Web)
You can't directly manage app subscriptions on the iCloud website. You'll need to use the App Store app on a Mac, or an iPhone/iPad, and follow the iOS cancellation steps.
3 For Google Subscriptions (on Web)
Open a web browser and go to the Google Play subscriptions page. Sign in to the correct Google Account.
4 Find and Cancel Capcut
Once logged in, you'll see your list of subscriptions. Find Capcut and click the Manage button next to it. From there, select Cancel subscription and confirm your choice.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- Keep Pro Access: You can continue using all Capcut Pro features until the end of your current billing cycle. The cancellation just stops the next renewal.
- Your Projects are Safe: Canceling your subscription won't delete your existing projects or media. However, any projects that use Pro-exclusive effects, filters, or transitions may revert to a standard version or display a watermark.
- No Refunds for Partial Months: Like most app subscriptions, Capcut (via Apple or Google) does not offer prorated refunds if you cancel before the billing period is over. You've paid for the full month or year, so you get to use it.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Capcut Pro Subscription?
If the cancel button seems to be missing or you're running into issues, here are a few things to try:
- Check the Right Account: Are you logged into the same Apple ID or Google Account that you used to purchase the subscription? It's a common mistake, especially if you have multiple accounts.
- You Can't Cancel in the App: Remember, you cannot cancel the subscription from within the Capcut app itself. You must go through your device's App Store (for iOS) or Play Store (for Android) settings.
- Try on a Desktop: Sometimes mobile interfaces can be buggy. Try logging into your Google Play account on a desktop browser to manage your subscriptions there.
- Contact Support Directly: If all else fails, you can try contacting Capcut's support through the 'Feedback' option in the app. Be prepared for a slow response, as many users have reported.
