How to cancel Pictory

Cancel at app.pictory.ai: profile, My account (Manage account for teams), Billing, Cancel subscription, then Cancel anyway, a reason, and Go ahead and cancel, skipping the pause offer. Access lasts until the term ends; no refunds. Download your videos first: lapsed plans can't download.

The short answer

  • Where: Sign in, click your profile icon and choose My account (in a team workspace, Manage account) (app.pictory.ai).
  • When it ends: At the end of the current term: you keep creating, editing and downloading videos until the subscription's end date and aren't charged again.
  • Before you go: export Your finished videos. What to save
  • Want to keep it for less? Pause and more. Options

Before you cancel

Export first

  • Your finished videos: Download the videos you want to keep from Pictory before the subscription's end date. Downloads need an active paid plan: once a plan ends without renewing (or a free trial ends), no more videos can be downloaded kb.pictory.ai kb.pictory.ai

What happens to your data

Pictory's account guide says projects stay saved and accessible and reappear if you subscribe again, unless the account was deleted; its auto-renewal article says that if you don't renew after the subscription expires you can no longer access the projects. Deleting the account permanently removes all projects, uploads and brand kits.

What you lose

  • Downloading videos once the plan has ended
  • Possibly access to your projects: Pictory's auto-renewal article says you lose it once an unrenewed subscription expires, while its account guide says projects stay saved
  • Everything in the account, permanently, if you ask Support to delete it

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Pause Pause a monthly plan from the cancel flow (choose Pause, confirm Yes, then Proceed to Pause): it keeps your account and project data for $1 USD a month, and after 90 days reactivates on the same plan unless you resume or change it first kb.pictory.ai
  • Cheaper plan Change to a cheaper plan at any time; a downgrade takes effect at the end of the billing cycle kb.pictory.ai
  • Pay yearly Annual billing can save up to 24% compared with paying monthly kb.pictory.ai

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Retention step: Yes: the flow shows your remaining credits with an option to continue, asks for a reason, and offers to pause the subscription before the final Go ahead and cancel
  • Cancelling only turns off auto-renewal; the account stays
  • A free trial doesn't renew or charge automatically: there is nothing to cancel
  • Download the videos you need before the end date: Pictory's pages disagree on whether projects stay accessible after an unrenewed plan expires
  • Add-ons renew automatically, monthly or annually, unless cancelled before their renewal date
  • A pause isn't free: it costs $1 USD a month and restarts the same plan after 90 days unless you act
  • Account deletion goes through Support in the in-app chat; it also cancels active subscriptions but erases all projects for good
  • In a team workspace, the billing pages are under Manage account rather than My account

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/pictory.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
