How to cancel Pixelup and stop recurring charges in singapore
What Pixelup is and why you might cancel
Pixelup is an AI-powered photo enhancement platform that upscales, restores, colourizes, and animates faces through mobile and web interfaces. You access it via one-time purchases or recurring subscriptions, depending on your chosen platform. Understanding your billing method is the first step toward cancelling correctly and reclaiming control of your digital subscriptions. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate exactly this situation.
How Pixelup charges you
Pixelup operates three separate payment systems, and each one requires a different cancellation method. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, iTunes processes your renewals. If you used Google Play on Android, Google handles billing and cancellations. If you purchased directly on the Pixelup website via Stripe, Pixelup manages your recurring charges. Identifying which payment route you took is essential before you begin the cancellation process.
Common reasons to cancel Pixelup
You might cancel because your budget has shifted, you have discovered a free alternative, or you completed the project you needed the software for. Whatever your reason, you deserve a transparent cancellation process without friction. Yafee exists to guide you through every step.

Weekly and annual subscriptions trigger recurring charges. One-time purchases do not renew, so cancellation is not required. If you hold a recurring subscription and fail to cancel before the next billing date, Pixelup will charge you again automatically.
Your consumer rights in singapore
Singapore law grants you explicit protections as a digital consumer, and these rights form the legal foundation for your cancellation request.
Consumer protection (Fair trading) act protections
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) requires that all digital services, including Pixelup, be described accurately, delivered within a reasonable timeframe, and fit for their intended purpose. If Pixelup fails to meet these obligations, you hold the statutory right to request cancellation and a refund without penalty. This protection applies to all purchase routes: app store, Google Play, or direct web purchase via Stripe. In accordance with the CPFTA, you need not justify your cancellation request or pay termination fees.
App store and google play enforcement
Both Apple and Google operate as regulated billing intermediaries in Singapore and are required to process cancellation requests within a reasonable timeframe. If Apple or Google delays, denies, or ignores your cancellation request, you can escalate the matter to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE investigates breaches of consumer law and can compel the company to comply. Yafee recommends preserving screenshots of your cancellation request, the app store's confirmation, and any follow-up communication as evidence.
Your legal position
You have the statutory right to cancel Pixelup at any time, whether you subscribed via app store, Google Play, or the Pixelup website. No contract prevents you from exercising this right. If the company resists cancellation, fails to process it within 14 days, or charges you after cancellation, you can report the breach to CASE and request a full refund of wrongful charges. The burden of proof lies with Pixelup, not you.

If you purchased directly on the Pixelup website using Stripe, you must contact Pixelup's support team to cancel your subscription and halt recurring charges.
Step 1: gather your account information
- Log in to your Pixelup account using your email address and password.
- Locate your account settings or billing section.
- Note your subscription plan name, start date, and any subscription ID shown on your account dashboard.
Step 2: contact Pixelup support
- Visit the Pixelup website and locate the support or contact page.
- Select the option to email support or submit a cancellation request via contact form.
- Write a clear cancellation request, including your email address, subscription plan name, and the date you wish cancellation to take effect.

Step 3: confirm cancellation with stripe

- If you receive a charge after the confirmed cancellation date, report it to your bank or card issuer immediately as a fraudulent charge.
Step 4: request a refund if applicable
- If you cancelled within 7 days of the original purchase and have not used Pixelup's features substantially, request a refund in your cancellation email.
- Pixelup must respond to your refund request within 14 days under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
- If Pixelup refuses an unreasonable refund, escalate the matter to CASE with proof of your cancellation request and Pixelup's response.
What happens after you cancel Pixelup
Cancellation does not mean immediate loss of access; understanding your post-cancellation timeline helps you plan your next steps.
Access after cancellation
You retain access to Pixelup until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel mid-week, you keep the software for the remainder of that week. If you cancel mid-year, you retain access until the anniversary date. You will not be charged again after cancellation, and no refund of unused time is automatic unless the contract explicitly includes one or unless Pixelup honours early-exit refunds as part of its policy.
Data and account retention
Cancellation does not delete your Pixelup account or previously edited images. Log in to your account at any time to retrieve saved files. If you wish to delete your entire account and personal data, you must make a separate deletion request to Pixelup support in writing. In accordance with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), Pixelup must delete your personal information within 30 days of your written request.
Reactivation and re-subscription
You can reactivate a subscription or purchase a new plan at any time after cancellation without penalty. No contract binds you to remain inactive, and Pixelup cannot impose lock-in periods or reactivation fees under Singapore consumer law.
How to request a refund from Pixelup
Refund eligibility depends on your reason for cancellation, how long you have held the subscription, and Pixelup's refund policy.
Circumstances that qualify for refund
You have a statutory right to a refund if Pixelup failed to deliver the service as described, if the software does not function on your device, or if you cancel within the first 7 days of purchase and have not consumed the service substantially. The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act does not require that you justify or explain a cancellation within this grace period. Furthermore, if Pixelup charged you after you submitted a valid cancellation request, you hold the right to reclaim that charge in full.
How to request a refund
- Email Pixelup support with your cancellation confirmation screenshot and your refund request.
- State your reason for the refund clearly (e.g. "Service not fit for purpose" or "Cancelled within 7 days of purchase").
- Include your original transaction receipt, order number, and the amount charged in SGD.
- Request that the refund be processed to your original payment method within 14 days.
- Keep copies of all correspondence as evidence.
If Pixelup refuses your refund
- File a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) using their online complaint portal.
- Attach all email correspondence, cancellation proof, and transaction records.
- CASE will contact Pixelup and attempt mediation within 14 days.
- If mediation fails, CASE can escalate the dispute to the Small Claims Tribunal, which can compel Pixelup to refund you plus statutory interest.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Pixelup
Cancelling incorrectly can leave your subscription active and your card charged. Proceed methodically, and you will avoid these pitfalls entirely.
Mistake 1: deleting the Pixelup app instead of cancelling the subscription
Removing the Pixelup app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The app store or Google Play will continue to charge you automatically on renewal day. You must follow the cancellation steps in your app store or contact Pixelup directly; deletion alone is insufficient.
Mistake 2: assuming one-time purchases auto-renew
Pixelup offers several one-time unlock plans that do not renew. If you purchased S$6.98 or S$59.98 as a one-time unlock rather than a subscription, you will not be charged again. Check your transaction email and app store receipt to confirm whether your purchase recurs. Yafee can help you verify this if you are uncertain.
Mistake 3: cancelling too late in your billing cycle
If you cancel after your renewal date but before the refund deadline (typically 7 days after purchase), the charge has already posted to your card. Contact your bank immediately to request a chargeback, and simultaneously notify CASE of the unwanted charge. Pixelup is then obligated to defend the charge or refund it.
Mistake 4: not preserving proof of cancellation
Screenshot every step of your cancellation process: the subscription screen before cancellation, the cancellation confirmation, and any email replies from Pixelup support. If Pixelup charges you after you cancelled or disputes your cancellation, this proof is your evidence. Without it, CASE cannot compel a refund if the matter reaches dispute.
Mistake 5: confusing app store cancellation with account deletion
Cancelling your subscription through Apple or Google ends recurring billing but does not delete your Pixelup account. If you want your account and personal data removed, you must submit a separate deletion request to Pixelup support and cite the PDPA. Account deletion is a separate process from subscription cancellation.

Escalation: what to do if Pixelup refuses to cancel
If Pixelup ignores your cancellation request, denies it without cause, or continues charging after cancellation, escalation through formal channels is your next step.
Step 1: send a final written request
- Email Pixelup support with the subject line "Final Cancellation Request and Demand for Refund".
- Include all previous cancellation requests, cancellation confirmation screenshots, and transaction records.
- State clearly that you are invoking your rights under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and demand cancellation within 5 business days and a refund (if applicable) within 14 days.
- Retain a copy of this email for your records.
Step 2: file a complaint with CASE
- Visit the Consumers Association of Singapore website and complete their online complaint form.
- Upload all supporting documentation: cancellation requests, confirmation screenshots, transaction receipts, and any refusals from Pixelup.
- Describe the breach clearly (e.g. "Pixelup refused to cancel my subscription despite my written request and continued charging my card after the requested cancellation date").
- Submit the complaint and note your CASE reference number.
Step 3: prepare for mediation
- CASE will contact Pixelup within 3 business days and request their response.
- Both parties will be invited to mediation within 14 days if the dispute is not resolved informally.
- Attend the mediation session with all your documentation and be prepared to present a clear chronology of events.
- If mediation fails, CASE will advise you on escalation to the Small Claims Tribunal.
Why you should cancel early
Cancelling Pixelup before your next renewal date ensures you avoid charges for unwanted future access.
If you hold a weekly subscription and cancel today, you will not be charged again after this week ends. If you hold an annual subscription and decide to cancel mid-year, you retain access until the anniversary date but will not face a charge beyond that. Consequently, the earlier you cancel, the sooner you regain control of your recurring spending. Do not delay if you have made the decision to exit.
