Considering canceling your Adobe Photoshop subscription? Whether you’re unhappy with the software, facing budget constraints, or simply want to end your free trial, this guide provides a clear, step-by-step walkthrough of the cancellation process.
Understanding Adobe’s Cancellation Policy
Before initiating the cancellation, it’s important to be aware of Adobe’s current terms, which are subject to change. Here’s a summary:
- Free Trial Cancellation: Canceling during the free trial period prevents any charges and revokes access to Photoshop.
- Cancellation within 14 Days: Cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase for a full refund. Access to the application will be revoked.
- Cancellation after 14 Days (Monthly Plan): You won’t receive a full refund, and access continues until the end of the current billing month.
- Cancellation after 14 Days (Annual Plan, Billed Monthly): You’ll be charged 50% of your remaining contract obligation, and access continues until the end of the current billing month.
