Frequently asked questions
Cancel PicMonkey: The Right Way
How to cancel PicMonkey and get your refund in new zealand
What PicMonkey is and why you might want to cancel
PicMonkey is an online photo-editing and graphic design platform that allows you to create social media graphics, edit images, and build marketing assets directly from your web browser or mobile app. The service operates on a subscription model, offering tiered plans that unlock premium features including advanced filters, unlimited cloud storage, and commercial use rights. If you've signed up but no longer need these tools, or you've found a more cost-effective alternative, cancelling your subscription is straightforward once you understand where to look.
Your subscription may exist in one of three locations: directly through PicMonkey's website, via your Apple App Store account (iOS), or through Google Play (Android). The cancellation method depends entirely on where you signed up originally, which is why many New Zealand users struggle to find the correct cancellation option. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations across multiple platforms, and this guide walks you through all three pathways.
Why identifying your subscription location matters
Cancelling through the wrong channel is one of the most common mistakes. If you subscribed via Apple or Google, cancelling on the PicMonkey website will not stop your charges. Your bank statement will continue to show recurring payments because those platforms handle billing independently. Your first step is identifying exactly where your subscription lives.
PicMonkey subscription options and pricing
PicMonkey offers three primary subscription tiers in New Zealand, each with different features and renewal terms:
| Plan | Monthly cost (NZD) | Annual cost (NZD) | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | Basic editing, limited exports |
| Picmonkey Plus | $12.99 | $89.99 | Advanced filters, unlimited storage, batch processing |
| Picmonkey Teams | $24.99 per user | $199.99 per user | Collaboration tools, team workspace, brand kits |
Your consumer rights and legal protections in new zealand
New Zealand law provides you with specific protections when you purchase digital services such as PicMonkey subscriptions, and understanding these rights is essential before you cancel.
The 14-day cooling-off period
You have a legal right to a 14-day cooling-off period from the date you purchased your subscription. This is your safety net under New Zealand consumer protection law. If you cancel within 14 days and have not meaningfully used the service (no file exports, no project saves, no premium features accessed), you are entitled to a full refund to your original payment method.
The refund must be processed within 14 days of your cancellation request. "Not used" means you have not accessed premium features or downloaded edited files. Simply logging in or browsing does not trigger this threshold, but exporting multiple images or creating finished projects does.
Consumer guarantees act protections beyond 14 days
Beyond the cooling-off period, New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act protects you if PicMonkey fails to deliver what was promised. If the service is unusable, crashes constantly, or does not match the advertised features, you may have grounds for a refund or cancellation even after 14 days have passed.
Your legal position: If PicMonkey refuses to honour a cooling-off refund or breaches the Consumer Guarantees Act, you can escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's consumer protection authority. The Commission enforces consumer rights and has the power to compel refunds and impose penalties on non-compliant service providers.
What happens after your cooling-off period expires
Once 14 days have passed and you have used the service, refunds for unused time are not guaranteed by law. Monthly subscriptions do not offer pro-rata refunds for partial months. Annual plans similarly will not return unused months. Cancellation simply stops future charges; it does not recover money already spent unless you can demonstrate a breach of the Consumer Guarantees Act.
How to cancel PicMonkey when you subscribed on the web
If you subscribed directly on PicMonkey's website (not through an app store), this is your cancellation method, and it takes under two minutes to complete.
Step 1: sign in to your PicMonkey account
Visit PicMonkey.com and sign in with your email and password. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link and reset it before proceeding. You must be logged in to access your billing settings.
Step 2: navigate to your account and billing settings
- Click your profile icon or menu button, usually located in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Select "Account," "Settings," or "Profile" from the dropdown menu that appears.
- Look for "Manage Your Account" or "Billing" in the main navigation.
- Navigate to the "Billing" or "Subscription" section.
- You will see your active plan name, renewal date, and payment method.
Step 3: locate and cancel your active subscription
- Find your current subscription and look for a "Cancel," "Manage," or "Edit Plan" button.
- Click the button next to your active plan.
- Review the cancellation summary and confirm you understand what will happen.
- PicMonkey will confirm your access end date and any refund eligibility.
- Click "Confirm Cancellation" or "Cancel Subscription" to complete the process.
- Do not close the browser until you see a confirmation message.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation via email
PicMonkey sends a confirmation email to the address associated with your account within minutes. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for this email, as it serves as proof of cancellation. Save this email for your records, especially if you believe you are entitled to a refund under the 14-day cooling-off period.
How to cancel PicMonkey if you subscribed via apple app store
If you signed up for PicMonkey through your iPhone or iPad using the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system, not through PicMonkey's website.
Step 1: open the app store on your iOS device
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Apple App Store.
- Tap the account icon in the top-right corner (your profile picture or initials).
- Tap "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- You will see all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
Step 2: select PicMonkey from your active subscriptions
- Find PicMonkey in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap on it to view details including the renewal date and price.
- Tap "Edit Subscription" or "Manage Subscription."
- Apple will show you options to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel.
Step 3: confirm your cancellation
- Tap "Cancel Subscription."
- Apple will prompt you to confirm you want to cancel.
- Review the message explaining when your access will end and tap "Confirm Cancellation."
- Your subscription will end at the next billing date; you retain access until then.
Step 4: save your cancellation confirmation
Apple sends a cancellation confirmation email to your registered email address. This email is your proof of cancellation and refund eligibility. Keep it for your records.
How to cancel PicMonkey if you subscribed via google play
If you signed up for PicMonkey through the Google Play Store on your Android device, you must cancel through Google's subscription management system.
Step 1: open google play on your android device
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Tap "Manage your Google Account" or "Payments and subscriptions."
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu options.
Step 2: find and select PicMonkey
- Locate PicMonkey in your list of active subscriptions.
- Tap on it to view the renewal date, plan details, and payment method.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Google will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation (optional feedback).
Step 3: complete the cancellation process
- Review the final cancellation message.
- Google will confirm when your subscription ends (usually at the next billing date).
- Tap "Yes, cancel" to confirm.
- Your subscription is now cancelled.
Step 4: check your email for confirmation
Google sends a cancellation confirmation to your associated email account. Verify you have received this email, as it proves you cancelled within the 14-day cooling-off period if applicable.
Refunds and what you can expect after cancellation
Understanding refund eligibility and timelines is critical, particularly if you cancelled within the 14-day cooling-off period.
14-day cooling-off refunds
If you cancelled within 14 days and did not meaningfully use the service, you are entitled to a full refund. Request your refund by emailing [email protected] with your account email address, cancellation date, and the reason for your refund request. Yafee recommends attaching a copy of your cancellation confirmation email. PicMonkey must process your refund within 14 days of receiving your request.
Refunds after 14 days
If you cancelled after 14 days have passed, you are not entitled to a refund unless PicMonkey breaches the Consumer Guarantees Act (for example, the service is unusable or features do not work as advertised). Unused portions of monthly or annual subscriptions are not refunded as standard practice.
What you keep after cancellation
Your access to PicMonkey ends on the next scheduled billing date or immediately, depending on your subscription type and the platform through which you subscribed. You cannot use premium features after cancellation, but you retain the ability to download or export any projects you created before the cancellation took effect. Download important files before your access ends.
Refund processing and timing
| Refund scenario | Timeline for refund | Processing method |
|---|---|---|
| Within 14 days (eligible) | 14 days from request | Original payment method |
| After 14 days (not eligible) | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Via Apple App Store | Up to 30 days from cancellation | Apple refunds to Apple ID balance |
| Via Google Play | Up to 30 days from cancellation | Google refunds to Google Play balance |
Common mistakes people make when cancelling PicMonkey
Cancelling a subscription is rarely straightforward, and small errors can delay your cancellation or cost you money. Here are the most common traps:
Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place
If you subscribed via Apple or Google, cancelling on the PicMonkey website has no effect. Your charges will continue because Apple and Google manage billing independently. Always cancel through the platform where you originally subscribed. Yafee recommends confirming your subscription location before you begin cancellation.
Mistake 2: ignoring your cancellation confirmation email
PicMonkey, Apple, and Google all send confirmation emails after cancellation. Many users miss these emails because they land in spam folders or get overlooked. Save every confirmation email because it is your proof of cancellation and essential for claiming a refund if PicMonkey disputes your request.
Mistake 3: waiting too long to request a refund
If you are entitled to a refund under the 14-day cooling-off period, request it in writing immediately after you cancel. Do not wait. Document the date you subscribed, the date you cancelled, and when you first used the service. This evidence supports your refund claim if PicMonkey initially refuses.
Mistake 4: not downloading your projects before access ends
Once your subscription is cancelled and the billing date passes, you lose access to premium features and, in some cases, the ability to export files. Download or export all projects you created before your cancellation takes effect. You cannot recover these files after your account reverts to the free tier.

When to contact PicMonkey and how to escalate
If PicMonkey does not cancel your subscription, denies a refund you believe you are entitled to, or fails to respond to your requests, you have clear escalation options.
Contact PicMonkey directly
Email [email protected] with your account email address, subscription details, and the issue you are facing. Include your cancellation confirmation email. PicMonkey typically responds within two to three business days. If you do not receive a response within five business days, escalate.
Escalate to the commerce commission
If PicMonkey refuses to honour a 14-day refund or breaches the Consumer Guarantees Act, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's consumer protection authority. The Commission investigates breaches of consumer law and has the power to compel refunds and penalties. Visit www.comcom.govt.nz to lodge a complaint.
Request a chargeback through your bank
If you believe you are entitled to a refund and PicMonkey refuses, you can request a chargeback through your bank. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation email and explain why you are entitled to a refund. Your bank will investigate and may reverse the charge on your behalf, though this is a last resort.
The final step: confirming your cancellation has taken effect
Cancellation and the end of your billing cycle are not always the same. After you cancel, PicMonkey may allow you to use your account until your next scheduled billing date. Confirm this end date in your cancellation confirmation email.
Check your bank or payment method statements 30 days after your cancellation date to confirm no further charges have been applied. If you see a charge, contact [email protected] immediately with your cancellation confirmation.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions and secure refunds when businesses fail to comply with consumer law. If you encounter difficulties cancelling PicMonkey or recovering money you believe you are entitled to, keep all documentation and escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission. Your consumer rights in New Zealand are protected by law, and enforcement agencies exist to ensure businesses honour them.
