How to cancel Smallpdf

Cancel in a browser: Account settings, Plan & Billing, Manage subscription, Cancel Subscription, then confirm. Pro lasts to the end of the billing period; a cancelled free trial ends Pro at once. App Store and Google Play subscriptions are cancelled in the store. Terminating mid-term may cost a fee.

The short answer

  • Where: Sign in to your Smallpdf account in a web browser (cancelling isn't available in the mobile app).
  • When it ends: Future billing stops and Pro features stay active until the current billing period ends. A cancelled free trial loses Pro features immediately, per the cancel guide (the pricing FAQ instead says the account moves to the free plan when the 7-day trial expires).
  • Billed by someone else? Cancel with them instead: Apple or Google Play.
  • Before you go: export Files saved to your Smallpdf storage (files you process while signed in on the web or mobile). What to save
  • Want to keep it for less? Free plan and more. Options

Before you cancel

Export first

  • Files saved to your Smallpdf storage (files you process while signed in on the web or mobile): Open your stored files (See My Files) and save copies of the documents you need to your own device before cancelling or deleting the account. Smallpdf doesn't promise stored files will always stay accessible, and deleting the account permanently deletes them smallpdf.com smallpdf.com smallpdf.com

What happens to your data

Files processed while signed in are deleted within one hour unless saved to your file storage; saved files you delete are generally removed within 14 days. Deleting the account permanently deletes your files. How long stored files are kept after a subscription simply ends isn't stated.

What you lose

  • Pro features when the billing period ends
  • A cancelled free trial, which can't be resumed
  • All stored files, if you delete the account

Cancel, by who bills you

Pick the route for whoever charges you: the name on your card statement or receipt tells you.

Keep it for less

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

  • Free plan Use the Free plan instead: 30+ document management tools, with limited document downloads and limited mobile app access smallpdf.com
  • Pay yearly Pay yearly instead of monthly: Smallpdf's Teams page calls Yearly the best value smallpdf.com
  • Fewer seats On Smallpdf for Teams, delete users at any time in the Team section of the Account page smallpdf.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Cancelling isn't available in the Smallpdf mobile app: open the account page in a browser
  • App Store and Google Play subscriptions must be cancelled in that store, not on smallpdf.com
  • Deleting the account cancels all subscriptions immediately and permanently deletes your files: download what you need first
  • Annual subscribers get a reminder email 10 days before renewal
  • Cancelling a free trial removes Pro features at once, and a cancelled trial can't be resumed
  • Don't ask to end a plan mid-term unless you accept a possible early termination fee: a normal cancellation simply stops the next renewal
  • Business plans are custom offers from Smallpdf's team; ending one before its agreed subscription term may carry an early termination fee

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/smallpdf.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.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated hard).
