Clever Ways to Save

1

The 'Cancellation Flow' Discount (The #1 Hack)

Begin the cancellation process on the Adobe website. After you provide a reason, the system is highly likely to present you with a special retention offer, such as 2-3 months free, to convince you to stay. This is the most reliable way to get a discount.

2

The 'Photography Plan' Downgrade

If you primarily use Photoshop and Lightroom, you don't need the full 'All Apps' plan. You can cancel and switch to the much cheaper 'Photography Plan,' which includes both apps and cloud storage for a fraction of the cost.

3

Check for Student & Teacher Discounts

If you are a student or teacher, you are eligible for a massive discount (often over 60% off) on the full Creative Cloud suite. You must verify your educational status, but it's the best long-term deal available.

Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist

Warning: The Annual Plan Early Cancellation Fee

CRITICAL: If you are on an 'Annual Plan, Paid Monthly,' you are in a one-year contract. If you cancel early, Adobe will charge you a lump sum fee equal to 50% of your remaining contract obligation. Check your plan type carefully before cancelling.

You Keep Your Files, But Lose Cloud Storage

VERY IMPORTANT: Your local files on your computer are safe. However, your included cloud storage will be reduced to the free 2GB tier. If you have more than 2GB stored, you must download your files from the cloud before your access is restricted.

You Lose Access to Adobe Fonts and Portfolio

Cancelling your subscription will deactivate all synced fonts from Adobe Fonts, which may cause issues in your existing project files. Your Adobe Portfolio website will also be taken offline.

Your Apps Revert to Trial/Limited Mode

The Creative Cloud applications on your computer will not be uninstalled, but they will revert to a limited trial mode. You will lose access to all the premium features and the ability to save new work.
