Frequently asked questions
Cancel Picmonkey: The Right Way
How to cancel PicMonkey and stop recurring charges in malaysia
What PicMonkey is and why malaysian users subscribe
PicMonkey is a cloud-based photo editing and graphic design platform available to Malaysian users through the web and mobile apps. The service operates under Shutterstock Ireland Limited, registered in Dublin, Ireland, which means your subscription is governed by an overseas entity rather than a Malaysian company.
You subscribe to PicMonkey to access premium design tools, cloud storage, stock photos, background removal, smart resize features, and team collaboration capabilities. The platform charges you on a recurring monthly basis, with a 7-day free trial available on select plans. Many Malaysian users sign up to test the service or complete a single project, then discover that cancellation is not immediately obvious from the account menu.
Pricing and plan structure in malaysia
PicMonkey charges in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) when you access the platform from Malaysia. The following table shows typical monthly pricing as of your research date, though exchange rates and promotional offers may affect the exact amount you see at checkout.
| Plan | Monthly price (MYR) | Key features |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | RM35.00 | Essential editing tools, cloud storage, export to JPG/PNG |
| Pro | RM55.00 | All Basic features plus stock photos, brand kit, smart resize |
| Business | RM105.00 | All Pro features plus team collaboration and advanced exports |
| Free trial | RM0.00 (7 days) | Full access to Pro features during trial period |
Your actual charge may vary by a few ringgit depending on currency conversion rates and your location within Malaysia. If you do not cancel before your trial period ends or before your next renewal date, PicMonkey will charge your payment method automatically.
Why users decide to cancel PicMonkey
Malaysian users typically cancel PicMonkey for one of three reasons: the subscription cost does not justify occasional use, the interface does not match their workflow, or they forgot to cancel the free trial before the charges began. Many report frustration because cancellation instructions are not prominently displayed in the account settings, and support responses via email can take several business days.
Unlike local Malaysian software vendors, PicMonkey does not offer phone support or live chat in your time zone. This means if you encounter a billing issue or need urgent help, you must rely on email contact through [email protected], which may not respond within 24 hours.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
When you cancel a subscription with PicMonkey, your legal position is protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999, a federal law that applies to all goods and services sold to consumers in Malaysia, regardless of whether the seller is based overseas.
What the consumer protection act 1999 guarantees you
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 establishes that PicMonkey must honour your cancellation request and stop charging your payment method within a reasonable timeframe. The Act also requires that any refund due to you is processed without unreasonable delay. Furthermore, PicMonkey must not continue to charge you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, even if a confirmation email takes time to arrive.
In accordance with Section 79 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel a subscription service within 14 days of purchase if you purchased online, provided you notify the seller of your intention to cancel. However, this cooling-off period does not apply if you have already used significant portions of the service. For ongoing subscriptions beyond the initial 14-day window, you may cancel at any time by following the seller's stated cancellation procedure and providing notice before the next renewal date.
Your legal position when cancelling
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel your PicMonkey subscription at any time after the initial 14-day cooling-off period. You must provide clear notice of cancellation before your next billing date. If PicMonkey continues to charge you after you have cancelled, you may lodge a complaint with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FMCA) or escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP), which enforces consumer protection law in Malaysia. You may also request a chargeback from your bank if PicMonkey charges you after a valid cancellation request has been submitted and ignored.
How to cancel PicMonkey on the web
The web-based cancellation process is the most direct method and leaves you with a clear record of your request. Follow these exact steps to cancel your subscription through your PicMonkey account.
Step 1: sign in and navigate to your billing page
- Open picmonkey.com and sign in with your email and password.
- If you use two-factor authentication or social sign-in (Google or Facebook), complete those steps as prompted.
- If you forgot your password, click "Forgot password?" and reset it before proceeding.
- Click your profile icon or name in the upper right corner of the screen.
- A dropdown menu will appear with account options.
- Select Manage Your Account or Account Settings from the menu.
- This opens your account dashboard.
- Click the Billing tab or Subscription section.
- You will see your current plan name, monthly price, and renewal date.
Step 2: locate and click the cancel option
- On your Billing page, look for a button or link labelled Cancel subscription, Cancel plan, or End subscription.
- If you see only Renew subscription and no cancel option, your subscription may already be inactive or cancelled.
- If the cancel button is not visible, scroll down to the bottom of the Billing section or check under "Plan details" or "Subscription status".
- Click the Cancel subscription button.
- PicMonkey will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may offer a discount to keep you as a customer.
- Review the cancellation summary, which will state your current plan and the date your access will end.
- Note that you may retain access until the end of your current billing cycle (typically 30 days from your last renewal), even though your subscription is now cancelled.
Step 3: confirm your cancellation
- Click the Confirm cancellation, Yes, cancel my subscription, or similar confirmation button.
- Do not leave this page until you see a success message.
- PicMonkey will display a confirmation screen stating that your subscription has been cancelled.
- Screenshot or download this confirmation for your records.
- The confirmation will include your cancellation date and the final date of your access.
- Check your email (including spam and promotions folders) within 5 minutes for a cancellation confirmation email from PicMonkey.
- This email serves as your legal proof of cancellation and should include your subscription ID and cancellation timestamp.
- Save this email for at least one year in case you need to dispute a future charge.
How to cancel PicMonkey if you subscribed via apple app store or google play
If you purchased your PicMonkey subscription through the Apple App Store (on iPhone or iPad) or Google Play (on Android devices), you must cancel through that platform, not through the PicMonkey website. Yafee recommends following the exact platform-specific process below to avoid confusion and ensure your subscription is properly cancelled.
Cancellation through apple app store (iPhone and iPad)
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the App Store app.
- Tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- You will see a list of all active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find PicMonkey in the subscriptions list and tap it.
- If PicMonkey does not appear, your subscription may already be cancelled or expired.
- Tap Cancel Subscription or Edit subscription depending on your iOS version.
- A confirmation prompt will appear asking why you are cancelling.
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping the final Confirm or Cancel subscription button.
- Apple will send you a confirmation email to your Apple ID email address within 5 minutes.
- You will retain access to PicMonkey until the end of your current billing period.
Cancellation through google play (Android devices)
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Tap Manage my subscriptions or Payments and subscriptions.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Google account.
- Tap PicMonkey in the subscriptions list.
- The subscription details screen will open, showing your renewal date and price.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google will prompt you to select a reason for cancellation (optional but helpful feedback).
- Tap Cancel subscription again to confirm.
- Google will send a confirmation email to your Google account email address.
- Your access will continue until the end of your current billing cycle.
Refund eligibility and timeline for PicMonkey
PicMonkey's refund policy depends on when you cancel relative to your billing cycle and whether you fall within the Consumer Protection Act 1999 cooling-off period.
When you are entitled to a refund
If you cancel within 14 days of your initial subscription purchase and have not accessed the service substantially, you are entitled to a full refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 cooling-off right. Furthermore, if you cancel in the middle of a billing cycle, you are not automatically refunded the unused portion; PicMonkey's terms state that it does not prorate refunds for early cancellation.
Consequently, the most cost-effective approach is to cancel as close as possible to your next renewal date rather than immediately after purchase. For example, if your renewal date is in 25 days, cancelling now prevents you from being charged for a full additional month.
Refund processing time
If you are eligible for a refund, PicMonkey will process it within 14 business days from the date of your cancellation request. The refund will be credited to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or digital wallet). Depending on your bank, the credit may take a further 3 to 5 business days to appear in your account.
If you have not received your refund within 21 days of cancellation, contact PicMonkey at [email protected] with your cancellation confirmation email and ask for a refund status check. Include your subscription ID and the refund amount in your message.
What happens after you cancel PicMonkey
After cancellation is confirmed, you enter a transition period during which your access remains active but your account status changes. Understanding this period prevents confusion and helps you preserve important work.
Your access after cancellation
PicMonkey allows you to continue using the service until the end of your current billing cycle, even though your subscription is now marked as cancelled. This means if your renewal date is 15 April and you cancel on 1 April, you retain full access to all features until 14 April at 11:59 PM. After that time, your account will downgrade to the free tier, and you will lose access to premium features, cloud storage, stock photos, and exported files.
Saving your work before access expires
Before your final access date arrives, you must export and download any projects, designs, or brand assets you need to keep. PicMonkey does not clearly publish its data retention policy, and there is a risk that your projects may be deleted if you do not retrieve them. Take the following precautions:
- Export all designs as PNG, JPG, or PDF files to your computer or cloud storage.
- Download your Brand Kit (logo, colours, fonts) as separate files.
- Save any templates or custom designs you created.
- Take screenshots of any client project specifications or notes stored in PicMonkey.
- Download all invoices and billing statements for your records.
Confirming that no further charges appear
Monitor your bank statement and credit card transactions for 60 days after your cancellation date. Occasionally, PicMonkey may attempt to process a renewal charge if its billing system did not register your cancellation. If an unauthorised charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute the transaction and request a chargeback. Simultaneously, email PicMonkey at [email protected] with your cancellation confirmation and the unwanted charge statement.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling PicMonkey
Cancellation is straightforward once you know the correct process, and most problems arise from overlooking a single critical step. The following mistakes are easy to prevent if you know what to look for.
Mistake 1: cancelling the wrong subscription
If you have more than one PicMonkey account (for example, a personal account and a business account) or if you subscribed through multiple platforms (web, Apple App Store, and Google Play), you may cancel the wrong subscription by accident. Before you click the cancel button, check the email address associated with the account and the next renewal date to confirm you are cancelling the correct subscription. Many users have cancelled a free trial account instead of the paid account, then received a surprise charge two weeks later.
Mistake 2: assuming email cancellation is valid without confirmation
Some users email [email protected] requesting cancellation instead of using the self-service cancellation button. Email requests are slower and leave room for misunderstanding. PicMonkey's support team may not process email cancellation requests for 48 hours or longer, and you will not have an immediate confirmation timestamp. Always cancel through the web account panel or your app store subscription menu to obtain an instant confirmation and legal proof of your cancellation date.
Mistake 3: not checking the billing page after cancellation confirmation
After you click confirm, return to your Billing page within 1 minute and refresh your browser. Verify that the subscription status now shows "Cancelled" or "Active until [date]" rather than "Renewing on [date]". If the page still shows your subscription as active and renewing, your cancellation did not process. Click the cancel button again and confirm once more.
Mistake 4: forgetting to save work before the access cutoff
The day your subscription expires, you will lose access to premium features and cloud storage. If you have not exported your designs before this date, you may not be able to retrieve them from the free tier. Set a calendar reminder for 3 days before your final access date as a safety measure.
Addressing billing and refund disputes with PicMonkey
If PicMonkey continues to charge you after cancellation or refuses to honour a refund request, you have multiple escalation routes under Malaysian consumer protection law. Yafee advises you to document every step and keep copies of all correspondence.
Step 1: contact PicMonkey support in writing
- Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Dispute - [Your Account Email]".
- Include your full name, account email, subscription ID, and the date you cancelled.
- Attach a screenshot or PDF of your cancellation confirmation.
- Describe the issue clearly: for example, "I cancelled my subscription on 1 April 2024, but was charged RM55.00 on 15 April 2024."
- Request a refund with a specific amount and a deadline (for example, "Please refund RM55.00 within 7 days").
- Send a copy of this email to yourself and save the sent message as proof of delivery.
- Wait 5 business days for a response.
Step 2: escalate to PicMonkey's parent company (Shutterstock)
If PicMonkey support does not respond within 5 business days or refuses your refund request, contact Shutterstock Ireland Limited directly:
Shutterstock Ireland Limited
6th Floor, South Bank House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland
Send a formal letter via registered post or email (if an email address is available on Shutterstock's website) explaining your dispute and requesting a response within 14 days. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the parent company is liable for the actions of its subsidiaries when they fail to honour consumer rights.
Step 3: lodge a complaint with malaysian consumer authorities
If PicMonkey and Shutterstock do not respond satisfactorily within 14 days, file a formal complaint with one of the following authorities:
- Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FMCA): Visit www.fmca.org.my or call 03-7957 9229 to lodge a complaint. FMCA will mediate between you and PicMonkey at no cost.
- Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP): File a complaint online at www.kpdnhep.gov.my or visit your nearest KPDNHEP office. This is the government enforcement body for consumer protection law in Malaysia.
- Your bank's dispute resolution team: If you paid by credit card or debit card, contact your bank and request a chargeback. Provide copies of your cancellation confirmation and all correspondence with PicMonkey. Your bank will investigate and may reverse the unauthorised charges within 30 to 60 days.
When to keep your PicMonkey subscription active
Before you cancel, consider whether you might use PicMonkey again soon. The following scenarios favour keeping your subscription active.
| Scenario | Keep or cancel? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| You design content weekly for work | Keep | The RM55.00/month Pro plan is cost-effective for regular professional use. |
| You create designs once every 3 months | Cancel | Pay per project using the free tier or a competitor; resubscribe only when needed. |
| You are in a free trial and unsure | Keep until trial ends | Test the full feature set before deciding. Cancel 3 days before the trial expires if you do not want to be charged. |
| You manage a brand with multiple team members | Keep (Business plan) | Team collaboration and brand kit features justify RM105.00/month for shared design work. |
| You need background removal only (occasional) | Cancel | Use free online tools or subscribe only during months you need this feature. |
Comparison: PicMonkey versus alternatives
Yafee recommends comparing PicMonkey against other design platforms before you commit to cancellation, especially if you are simply seeking a cheaper option. The following table shows how PicMonkey stacks up against common competitors available in Malaysia.
| Platform | Entry price (MYR) | Strengths | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| PicMonkey | RM35.00 | Intuitive interface, stock photos included, background removal | Social media creators and small teams |
| Canva | RM60.00 (annual) | Templates library, collaboration, lower annual cost | Marketing and content design on a budget |
| Adobe Express | RM52.00 | Integration with Adobe suite, professional tools | Users already invested in Adobe ecosystem |
| Free tier (Pixlr, Photopea) | RM0.00 | No subscription required, web-based | Occasional users with simple editing needs |
If cost is your primary concern, Canva Pro offers better annual pricing if you commit upfront. If you work with a team, Yafee notes that PicMonkey's Business plan at RM105.00/month is competitive compared to Adobe Express Teams. Evaluate your actual usage frequency before switching; many users cancel one subscription only to pay for another that offers little additional value.
Contact details and escalation address
Use the following contact details if you need to reach PicMonkey directly for cancellation support or billing disputes.
PicMonkey Support Email: [email protected]
PicMonkey Help Center: help.picmonkey.com (English-language articles and guides)
Parent Company Address for formal disputes:
Shutterstock Ireland Limited
6th Floor, South Bank House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland
Response time from support is typically 2 to 5 business days. If you do not receive a response within this window, escalate to the FMCA or your bank's dispute resolution team as outlined in this guide. Yafee recommends keeping copies of all emails and confirmation screenshots for a minimum of one year after cancellation.
Summary: your cancellation checklist
Before you click cancel, work through this final checklist to ensure a smooth cancellation and avoid future disputes.
- Verify your next billing date and subscription plan name (take a screenshot).

- Confirm whether you subscribed on the web, App Store, or Google Play.
- Sign in to your account and navigate to the Billing page.

Cancelling PicMonkey is straightforward when you follow these steps, and your rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 protect you if the company attempts to charge you after a valid cancellation. Yafee has helped thousands of Malaysian consumers cancel subscriptions securely and dispute unwanted charges with confidence. If PicMonkey refuses your cancellation request or continues to bill you after you cancel, escalate to the FMCA or your bank immediately; do not delay.
