Cancel Your Photopea Subscription
Photopea is a fantastic free tool, but its Premium plan can be a forgotten recurring charge if you no longer need the ad-free experience, a problem we solve in our guide to finding unwanted subscriptions. If you're ready to go back to the free version, this guide is for you.
This guide provides the exact steps to cancel your Photopea Premium account. We'll explain how to manage the subscription through the portal where you paid (like PayPal or card) to ensure the charges stop successfully.

Set a Free ReminderClever Ways to Save
The Free Version is the Product (The #1 Hack)
Understand that the free version of Photopea is not a 'lite' or 'trial' version; it is the full-featured application. The Premium plan's primary purpose is to support the developer and remove ads.
Use an Ad Blocker for a Premium-Like Experience
If the ads are the only reason you are paying, using a reputable ad blocker in your browser will hide the ad panel, giving you the full-screen experience of the Premium version for free.
Save Your Work as a .PSD File Frequently
Since Photopea is a browser-based tool, a browser crash can cause you to lose unsaved work. The best practice for any user (free or paid) is to frequently save your project as a .PSD file to your computer.
Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist
You Will NOT Lose Your Files or Projects
CRITICAL: Photopea works with files stored directly on your computer, not in the cloud. Cancelling your Premium subscription has zero effect on your saved .PSD files or any other images you are working on.
The Advertisements Will Reappear
VERY IMPORTANT: The main change you will notice is that the ad panel on the right side of the screen will reappear. This is the primary difference between the free and premium versions.
You Must Cancel via Your Payment Provider
You do not cancel inside the Photopea app. You must cancel the recurring payment directly from the service you used to pay, such as your PayPal account or your credit card provider's portal.
Your History Steps Will Be Reduced
The free version of Photopea stores 30 history steps, while the premium version stores 60. You will revert to the 30-step history limit after your plan expires.

What is the main difference between free and premium Photopea?
The only significant differences are that the premium version removes the ad panel on the side of the screen and doubles your number of history steps from 30 to 60. All editing features are identical.
Will my files be deleted if I cancel Photopea Premium?
No, absolutely not. Your files are saved on your own computer, and Photopea has no ability to access or delete them.
How do I cancel my Photopea subscription?
You must log in to the payment service you used to subscribe. For most users, this means logging into your PayPal account and cancelling the automatic recurring payment to Photopea from there.
Can I get a refund for my Photopea plan?
Generally, no. Subscriptions are for supporting the project, and like most services, payments are non-refundable. Cancelling simply stops the next charge.
