Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

CapCut's terms give a full refund only if you cancel within 14 calendar days of the subscription starting and have not used the Premium Services in any form since subscribing. Refunds go back to the original payment method, and the refund contact is [email protected]. Its help center takes a narrower line on renewals: subscriptions are treated as virtual goods that generally do not support refunds, with an appeal for special cases such as accidental double-billing. Purchases made through the App Store or Google Play are further subject to Apple's and Google's own refund terms.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Cancellation takes effect on the last day of the current subscription period, and the account is then downgraded to CapCut's Free Services automatically. Uploaded videos are not deleted and can still be downloaded, but the cloud storage allowance drops to a free tier of about 1GB, above which files must be deleted before new uploads are allowed. Subscription AI credits stay valid until the end of the billing cycle and then expire; purchased credits remain, and promotional credits keep their original expiry date.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No pause option is documented in CapCut's Terms of Service or its Payment & Billing and CapCut Pro Plans help sections. Google Play says some apps let you pause a subscription from Manage, then Pause payments, so Android subscribers can check whether the option appears for CapCut.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Cancelling ends the subscription only. Account deletion is separate: CapCut says you can delete your account and data at any time from the account settings page, and that it starts removing data once you confirm, though some information may be kept briefly for legal or operational reasons. Export first if you need the data: personal data comes out of the Download Your Data tool as JSON or TXT, and projects or media use the Export function in the app.

Frequently asked questions

Answers checked with the steps above
How do I cancel the CapCut free trial before I am charged?

Cancel through the account you started the trial with. CapCut says the store account is charged automatically after 7 days unless you cancel, and that cancellation must happen at least 24 hours before the renewal date.

Does cancelling CapCut stop Pro straight away?

No. You keep the Premium Services until the end of the current subscription period and are charged the full fee for that period, then the account drops to CapCut's free tier.

Can I get a refund from CapCut?

Only within 14 calendar days of the subscription starting, and only if you have not used the Premium Services in any form since subscribing. CapCut's help center adds that renewals are treated as virtual goods and generally do not support refunds.

What happens to my cloud videos and AI credits?

Uploaded videos are not deleted and can still be downloaded, but storage drops to a free tier of about 1GB. Subscription AI credits stay valid until the end of the billing cycle and then expire; purchased credits remain.

I subscribed in the iPhone app. Can CapCut cancel it for me?

No. Apple-billed subscriptions are cancelled in Settings, your Apple ID, Subscriptions, CapCut, Cancel Subscription. Refunds for those go through Apple's Report a Problem flow.

Does deleting the CapCut app cancel my subscription?

No. Google Play states uninstalling an app does not cancel its subscription, and CapCut requires cancellation through the Apple, Google or CapCut account you subscribed with.
