Cancel CapCut Pro on iPhone (App Store)

1

Open iPhone Settings

Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Not the CapCut app -- you need to go through Apple's system settings since Apple manages the billing.

2

Tap Your Name

Tap your name at the very top of the Settings screen to access your Apple ID settings. This is where Apple keeps all your account, payment, and subscription information.

3

Tap Subscriptions

Tap Subscriptions to see all your active and expired App Store subscriptions. Scroll through the list to find CapCut Pro. It might be listed as "CapCut" or "CapCut - Video Editor."

4

Tap Cancel Subscription

Tap on CapCut Pro, then scroll down and tap Cancel Subscription. Apple will confirm when your Pro access expires. You keep Pro features until the end of your current billing period.

Export Your Projects First

Before canceling, export any videos that use Pro-exclusive effects, fonts, music, or templates. Once your Pro subscription ends, re-exporting those projects may result in watermarks on Pro assets or those assets being replaced with free alternatives. Export your final versions while you still have Pro access.

What Happens After You Cancel CapCut Pro?

Pro features active until billing period ends

You keep all Pro features -- effects, fonts, music library, cloud storage, and watermark-free exports -- until your current billing period expires. Use this time to finish and export any in-progress projects.

Free tier still works great

CapCut's free version is surprisingly capable. You keep basic editing tools, some effects and transitions, and can still export without a general watermark. You just lose Pro-exclusive assets and advanced features like AI tools.

Pro assets get watermarked

If you try to export a project that uses Pro-exclusive effects, music, or templates after your subscription ends, those elements may show watermarks or be replaced. Already-exported videos are not affected.

Cloud storage reduced

Pro comes with expanded cloud storage for projects. After canceling, you drop back to the free tier limit. If you exceed it, you may need to delete some cloud projects or download them locally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my CapCut projects after canceling Pro?

Your projects stay in the app and you can still edit them. However, any Pro-exclusive assets (effects, fonts, music, stickers) in those projects will show watermarks or be unavailable when you try to export. Projects you already exported while on Pro are perfectly fine -- they are not retroactively affected.

Can I get a refund from CapCut Pro?

It depends on where you subscribed. For App Store purchases, request a refund through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com within 14 days. For Google Play, request through the Play Store within 48 hours (or contact Google support). For direct website purchases, contact CapCut support directly.

Can I still use CapCut for free?

Absolutely. CapCut's free tier is one of the most generous in the mobile editing space. You get basic editing tools, transitions, some effects, text overlays, and can export in high quality. You just miss out on the premium effects library, Pro fonts, licensed music, and advanced AI-powered features.

How do I know where I subscribed?

Check your email for the subscription confirmation. If you see a receipt from Apple, cancel through iPhone Settings. If from Google, cancel through the Play Store. If from CapCut directly, cancel on their website. You can also check your App Store or Google Play subscription list -- if CapCut is not there, you likely subscribed directly on the website.
