How to cancel Photomyne and keep your digital photos safe
What is Photomyne and why canadian subscribers cancel
Photomyne is a mobile and web application that allows you to scan, digitize, and restore printed photographs and slides using iOS and Android apps, plus a web portal. The service provides unlimited scanning with automatic enhancement filters, cloud storage, and cross-device syncing. You pay a subscription in US dollars, which converts to Canadian dollars at checkout, meaning your actual monthly charge fluctuates with exchange rates plus applicable GST, HST, or PST depending on your province.
Canadian subscribers cancel Photomyne for several legitimate reasons: you have completed your photo digitization project, the monthly charge no longer fits your budget, you prefer a competing service, or you worry about long-term access to your archived images. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to walk you through the cancellation process step by step, ensuring you understand your consumer rights before your subscription expires. Many Canadians do not realize they have legal protections that go beyond Photomyne's terms alone.
Understanding what you actually pay in canadian dollars
Photomyne bills exclusively in US dollars. A monthly plan advertised at US$14.99 typically costs you between C$20 and C$26 per month depending on the exchange rate. An annual plan at US$59.99 works out to roughly C$210 to C$244 yearly. These currency fluctuations add hidden complexity to your bill; you do not see the same charge twice if the Canadian dollar weakens. This unpredictability is one reason many Canadians choose to cancel and switch to a service that prices in Canadian dollars.
When cancellation makes financial and practical sense
Cancel now if you no longer open the app regularly, if your scanning backlog is complete, or if the monthly charge surprises you each billing cycle. Keep your subscription only if you actively scan new photos, want ongoing cloud backup security, or plan to retrieve and enhance existing digital archives regularly. Yafee recommends reviewing your last three months of app usage before you decide; many people maintain subscriptions for services they have forgotten they own. One-time digitization projects do not justify ongoing fees.
Your consumer rights in canada before you cancel
Canadian federal and provincial laws protect you when dealing with digital subscriptions, and these protections often exceed what Photomyne's standard terms state.
The 14-day cooling-off period
Photomyne offers a 14-day cooling-off period from the date you first receive access to the service on your initial purchase. Within that window, you can request a full refund if you have not used the service meaningfully. This is your strongest legal position; exercise it immediately if you subscribed by mistake or changed your mind within the first two weeks. Under the Competition Act and related consumer protection frameworks, this withdrawal right is non-negotiable in Canada.
Provincial consumer protection laws and digital goods
You live in a province with consumer protection legislation that covers digital goods and subscriptions. Quebec's Consumer Protection Act and equivalent laws across Canada require that digital content be "as described" and fit for purpose. If Photomyne's scanning quality is defective, the cloud backup fails repeatedly, or the app crashes, you may have grounds to dispute the charge or demand a refund even outside the 14-day window. Document any service failures with screenshots and support ticket numbers before you escalate a complaint to your provincial consumer protection office.
Protections when you pay through apple or google
If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, Apple and Google's refund policies apply instead of Photomyne's terms. Both platforms allow refunds within 14 to 15 days for subscriptions. Contact Apple Support or Google Play Support directly; they often approve refunds faster than Photomyne's own support team. In Canada, you have additional leverage under the Competition Act if you can demonstrate that the service was misrepresented or did not perform as advertised.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel under federal consumer protection law, plus provincial consumer protection acts. You are not bound by Photomyne's terms if they conflict with your provincial law. If Photomyne refuses to cancel or refund, you can escalate to your provincial consumer protection office or, in Quebec, the Office of the Protecteur du consommateur. Yafee advises documenting all communications in writing.
Your cancellation method depends on where you signed up: Apple's App Store, Google Play, or Photomyne's web portal.
Cancel on iOS via the app store
You manage your Photomyne subscription through Apple's subscription settings, not inside the app itself.
- Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Find Photomyne in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap "Photomyne" and select "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Confirm the cancellation; Apple will show you the refund eligibility status immediately.
Apple will stop billing you at the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancelled within 14 days and have not used the service, Apple will issue a refund to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days.
Cancel on android via google play
Google Play handles all subscription management for Android users. You do not cancel inside the Photomyne app itself.
- Open Google Play on your Android device or visit play.google.com in a web browser.
- Tap your profile icon and select "Payments and subscriptions."
- Choose "Subscriptions" from the submenu.
- Find Photomyne and tap it.
- Select "Cancel subscription" and confirm your decision.
- Review the refund eligibility notice; Google will confirm whether you qualify for a refund.
Google Play stops billing you at the end of your current billing cycle. Refunds within the 14-day window are processed automatically; refunds outside that window depend on Google's discretion and the reason for cancellation.
Cancel on photomyne's web portal
If you subscribed directly on Photomyne's website, you manage your subscription through your account settings, not through a third-party app store.
- Log in to your Photomyne account at the official website.
- Navigate to "Account Settings" or "Subscription Settings" in the main menu.
- Select "Manage Subscription" or "Billing" (the exact label may vary).
- Find the "Cancel Subscription" or "Downgrade" button.
- Follow the prompts and confirm your cancellation in writing via email if prompted.
- Save a copy of your cancellation confirmation for your records.
Photomyne will stop charging you at the end of your current billing cycle. Request a refund confirmation email within 48 hours to ensure your cancellation was processed. If Photomyne does not acknowledge your cancellation within two business days, contact them via email with a screenshot of the confirmation page.
Cancel by postal mail to photomyne's head office
If you do not receive a cancellation confirmation or Photomyne's online portal is not responding, send a registered letter to the company's registered office in Israel. This creates a legally binding paper trail.
- Address your letter to Photomyne Ltd., the registered office address (obtain the current address from Photomyne's website or corporate registration database).
- State your full name, email address, and the subscription account number (found on your invoice).
- Write: "I hereby request cancellation of my Photomyne subscription effective immediately. I request a full refund of all charges paid since [date]. Please confirm this cancellation in writing within 10 business days."
- Send the letter by registered mail with proof of delivery. In Canada, use Canada Post's "Registered Mail" service, which costs approximately C$12 and provides a tracking number.
- Keep the receipt and tracking number for your records.
A registered letter creates legal evidence that you sent the cancellation request. If Photomyne ignores it, you have proof to submit to your provincial consumer protection authority.
What happens after you cancel Photomyne
Cancellation ends your billing immediately, but your access to stored photos depends on your subscription plan and Photomyne's retention policy.
Access to your scanned photos after cancellation
After cancellation, you retain read-only access to photos you have already scanned for 30 days (some reports suggest longer, depending on your account type). During this window, download all your photos and backups to your personal device or external storage. Export them as high-resolution files or PDFs before the access period expires. After 30 days, Photomyne may delete your cloud library if you have not upgraded back to a paid plan. This is not a legal right of Photomyne; it is simply how the service operates.
Exporting and securing your photo library
You own the physical originals and the digital scans you created. Download every photo, restored version, and backup file to your computer or an external hard drive immediately after cancellation. Do not rely on Photomyne's cloud storage after your subscription ends. Consider uploading backups to another service such as Google Photos (free up to 15 GB), OneDrive, or iCloud to ensure you do not lose your digitized family history.
Cancellation confirmations and your records
Save all cancellation confirmations, including screenshots of the confirmation page, emails from Apple, Google, or Photomyne, and any registered mail receipts. These documents protect you if Photomyne attempts to charge you again or if you need to dispute a refund with your credit card company or bank. Keep these records for at least two years.
Understanding refunds and billing protection
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and which platform you used to subscribe.

How to dispute a charge if a refund is denied
If Photomyne, Apple, or Google denies your refund request, you have the right to dispute the charge through your credit card issuer or bank.
- Contact your credit card company or bank within 60 days of the disputed charge.
- State that you cancelled the subscription within the 14-day refund window and have proof of cancellation.
- Provide copies of your cancellation confirmation, the subscription charge, and any communications with Photomyne or the app store.
- Request a chargeback. The credit card company will investigate and typically issue a provisional credit within 10 business days.
- Cooperate fully if the card issuer asks for additional documentation; most chargebacks succeed when you have a cancellation confirmation.
A chargeback is your legal right under Canadian credit card regulations. Photomyne cannot penalize you for initiating one. Yafee advises submitting a chargeback if the refund is clearly justified and the service has refused.
Common mistakes that delay cancellation or refunds
Cancellation itself is straightforward, but many people make preventable errors that cost them time and money.
Forgetting to cancel before your renewal date
Subscriptions renew automatically on your billing date. If you cancel after renewal, you have paid for a full month or year you did not want. Cancel at least three days before your renewal date; check your last invoice or app store settings to find the exact date. Set a phone reminder 10 days before renewal if you are unsure. Once you are charged for a new cycle, you must wait until that cycle is eligible for refund (usually 14 days) to recover the money. Yafee recommends marking your calendar immediately after subscribing to any service.
Cancelling inside the app instead of via the app store
Many users try to cancel Photomyne inside the app itself. The app does not have a cancellation button; you must go through the App Store or Google Play. If you cancel in the app and then receive a charge, you have no cancellation confirmation. Always verify your cancellation by checking your app store subscription settings after you complete the cancellation process.
Not exporting photos before the access window closes
You have only 30 days after cancellation to download your scanned photos. If you wait longer, Photomyne deletes them and you lose the digital copies. Export your entire library to an external drive or secure cloud storage within one week of cancellation. Do not assume you can retrieve them later; Photomyne's retention policy is final.
Paying in US dollars without currency conversion awareness
Many Canadians do not realize their monthly charge fluctuates because Photomyne bills in US dollars. The same US$14.99 subscription costs different amounts in CAD each month. Track the Canadian amount on your credit card statement; if it jumps unexpectedly, check the exchange rate. This is not a reason to demand a refund, but it is a reason to cancel if the unpredictability frustrates your budgeting.
Not requesting a written cancellation confirmation
If you cancel via the web portal or by phone, request an email confirmation that explicitly states your subscription has been cancelled and when the cancellation takes effect. Without written proof, Photomyne might claim you never cancelled and charge you again. A screenshot alone is not sufficient; obtain an email from Photomyne or the app store that you can forward to your bank or credit card company if needed.

If you have completed your digitization project and only need storage, Google Photos or iCloud Plus cost far less than Photomyne. If you want continued restoration and editing, compare other AI photo enhancement apps before you cancel; some offer one-time purchases instead of subscriptions.

Photomyne customer support contact
Before you escalate to a regulatory body, contact Photomyne's support team in writing. Email is preferred because it creates a paper trail. Visit Photomyne's website to find the current support email address. State your full name, subscription email, account number, and the reason for cancellation. Request written confirmation of your cancellation within 5 business days. Keep a copy of this email and any response for your records.
Escalation to your provincial consumer protection office
If Photomyne does not respond within 10 business days or refuses to refund you within the 14-day window, file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority. In Ontario, contact the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. In Quebec, contact the Office of the Protecteur du consommateur. In British Columbia, contact the Office of the Ombudsperson or the Consumer Protection BC branch. Provide your cancellation confirmation, the disputed charge, and all communications with Photomyne. These offices have legal authority to order refunds and investigate unfair business practices.
Photomyne has a registered address in Israel, which means Canadian courts have jurisdiction over it under the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection laws. You do not have to pursue expensive litigation; your provincial consumer office will act on your behalf for free.
Chargebacks through your bank or credit card company
Your final option is to request a chargeback through your credit card company or bank. You have the right to dispute any charge that was not authorized or that was charged after you cancelled. A chargeback typically succeeds if you can show proof of cancellation and proof that the charge was issued after your cancellation date. Most chargebacks are resolved within 30 to 60 days in your favor if the evidence is clear.
Final summary and your next steps
Cancelling Photomyne is simple if you follow the correct platform method and act within the 14-day refund window. You have consumer rights in Canada that protect you beyond Photomyne's own terms. Your legal position is strong if you cancel early, export your photos before the access window closes, and keep cancellation confirmations for your records.
Start now by checking your app store subscription settings and noting your renewal date. Cancel at least three days before renewal to avoid being charged for a cycle you do not want. Export all your scanned photos to an external drive or secure cloud storage within one week of cancellation.
