How to cancel CapCut on your phone or computer

CapCut subscriptions renew automatically, so cancelling stops future charges but does not refund money you have already paid. The cancellation process differs depending on whether you subscribed through the CapCut app itself, Apple's App Store, Google Play, or your web browser — each route requires you to cancel in the same place you signed up.

If you subscribed directly through the CapCut app on Android, you cancel through Google Play. If you subscribed on iPhone, you cancel through Apple's App Store. If you subscribed on a computer through CapCut's website, you cancel through your CapCut account settings. The key is that app stores and CapCut handle their own billing separately, so cancelling in one place does not affect the other.

Key Takeaways

  • CapCut subscriptions renew automatically each month or year depending on your plan, so you must cancel before the next renewal date to stop charges.
  • iPhone users cancel through the Apple App Store under Settings, not through the CapCut app itself.
  • Android users cancel through Google Play, which manages the subscription even though you started it in CapCut.
  • Computer users cancel directly in their CapCut account settings on the website.
  • Cancelling stops future charges but does not refund the current billing period.

Cancel CapCut on iPhone through Apple App Store

Open the Settings app on your iPhone, then tap your name at the top of the screen. Select Subscriptions, then find CapCut in the list. Tap CapCut, then tap Cancel Subscription. Apple will ask you to confirm — select the reason for cancellation if prompted, then confirm again. The subscription ends at the end of your current billing period, and you will not be charged again.

If you cannot find CapCut under Subscriptions, it may mean you never set up a paid subscription through Apple, or the subscription has already ended. You can also check your email for receipts from Apple to see whether a subscription was active. If you see charges on your credit card or Apple ID but cannot find the subscription listed, contact Apple Support directly — they can see all billing tied to your account.

Cancel CapCut on Android through Google Play

Open the Google Play app on your Android phone, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Manage subscriptions. Find CapCut in the list and tap it. Select Cancel subscription, then confirm. Google Play will show you the date your subscription ends — you will not be charged after that date.

Some Android phones have slightly different menu layouts depending on the manufacturer. If you cannot find Manage subscriptions in the profile menu, try opening Google Play, scrolling to the bottom, and looking for Subscriptions under Account. If you still cannot locate it, search "Google Play subscriptions" in your phone's settings to find the right page for your device.

Cancel CapCut on your computer

Go to CapCut's website and log into your account. Click your profile icon or account menu, usually in the top right corner, and look for Account Settings or Subscription Settings. Find your active subscription and select Cancel or Manage Subscription. CapCut will confirm the cancellation and show you when the subscription ends.

If you subscribed through a computer but used a different payment method than your phone, make sure you are logged into the correct account. CapCut accounts are separate from app store accounts, so a subscription you started on the website will not appear in Apple or Google Play settings. Check your email for receipts from CapCut directly — those indicate a website subscription rather than an app store one.

What happens after you cancel

Once you cancel, you keep access to CapCut's paid features until the end of your current billing period. If you paid for a monthly subscription and cancel on the 15th of the month, you can still use premium features until the end of that month. After the billing period ends, you lose access to paid features and return to the free version of CapCut.

Any projects you created with CapCut remain in your account after cancellation. You can still open and edit them, but you cannot use premium effects, filters, or export options that require a paid subscription. If you want to keep using those features, you would need to subscribe again.

If you were charged after cancelling

If you see a charge after your cancellation date, the subscription may not have cancelled properly. Log back into the app store or CapCut account where you cancelled and verify the subscription shows as inactive or cancelled. If it still shows as active, repeat the cancellation steps.

If the subscription shows as cancelled but you were still charged, contact the app store or CapCut directly with your receipt and cancellation confirmation. Apple and Google Play both have dispute processes for unwanted charges, and they can refund charges that occurred after a confirmed cancellation. Keep screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and any charge receipts to show them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a refund for the current month if I cancel mid-cycle?

Most subscriptions do not refund the current billing period once it has started. You keep access to paid features until the end of that period, but you will not receive money back. Some app stores have a short refund window — Apple allows refunds within 14 days of purchase if you request them through your account settings, and Google Play has a similar policy. Contact the app store directly if you cancelled within a few days of being charged.

Will cancelling CapCut delete my videos?

No. Cancelling your subscription does not delete your projects or videos. They remain in your CapCut account, and you can still open and edit them. You just lose access to premium features like certain effects and export options. Your account itself stays active — only the paid subscription ends.

What if I subscribed through CapCut but do not remember which device?

Check your email for receipts from Apple, Google, or CapCut directly. Receipts from Apple say "Apple Media Services" or "App Store & iTunes", receipts from Google say "Google Play", and receipts from CapCut say "CapCut" or "Bytedance". Once you know which service charged you, cancel through that service. If you have receipts from multiple services, you may have subscriptions in more than one place and need to cancel each one separately.

Do I need to uninstall the CapCut app after cancelling?

No. You can keep the app installed and use the free version. Uninstalling does not affect your subscription status — only cancelling through the app store or CapCut account stops the charges. If you want to remove the app later, you can, but it is not necessary to stop being billed.
