Frequently asked questions
Cancel Pixomatic: The Right Way
How to cancel Pixomatic and stop paying for photo-editing tools you don't use
What Pixomatic is and why cancellation matters
Pixomatic is a subscription-based photo-editing platform available on iOS, Android, and web browsers. It specialises in background removal, object cutout, and advanced image adjustment tools designed for quick, professional results. The service offers a free tier with limited functionality, but full access to premium features requires an active subscription paid in South African Rand.
You may have subscribed to Pixomatic for various reasons: a free trial that automatically converted to a paid plan, an impulse purchase during a promotional offer, or simply discovering that you no longer use the editing features regularly. Whatever your situation, cancelling your subscription is your legal right as a South African consumer. Yafee specialises in helping you navigate this process with confidence and clarity.
Pixomatic subscriptions renew automatically on a weekly, monthly, or annual cycle, which means you will continue to be charged unless you actively cancel before your next billing date. Many South African consumers miss their renewal deadlines because they are unaware that cancellation must occur at least 24 hours before the charge processes. Taking action now protects your budget and gives you complete control over your spending decisions.
Why automatic renewal creates financial risk
Automatic renewal clauses are legally permissible under South African consumer law, but they must be transparent and cancellable without undue difficulty. The Consumer Protection Act, 2008 (Act No. 68 of 2008) requires that service providers clearly disclose renewal terms and provide straightforward cancellation mechanisms. If you did not actively consent to renewal, or if the terms were obscured, you may have grounds for a refund claim. Yafee recommends documenting your cancellation attempt and any renewal charges that follow, as this evidence strengthens any formal complaint to the Consumer Goods and Services Ombudsman (CGSO).
Understanding your subscription tier
Pixomatic offers multiple subscription levels at different price points. Your tier determines where you cancel, what features you lose access to, and whether any refund may be due. Identifying your exact plan before you proceed ensures you cancel from the correct account settings and avoid confusion about what happens to your data after cancellation.
Pixomatic subscription plans and pricing in south africa
Pricing varies across app stores and platforms, so confirm the exact amount on your billing statement before proceeding.
Current Pixomatic subscription options
| Subscription tier | Price (ZAR) | Billing cycle | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly Premium | R79.99 | Every 7 days | Full Premium feature set |
| Monthly Premium | R119.99-R199.99 | Every 30 days | Full Premium feature set (price varies by platform) |
| Monthly PRO | R119.99 | Every 30 days | PRO-tier tools and advanced filters |
| Background Eraser Monthly | R139.99 | Every 30 days | Background removal tool only |
| Annual Premium | R1 499.99 | Every 365 days | Full Premium access (lowest cost per month) |
Why pricing differs between platforms
If you subscribed via Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or directly through Pixomatic's website, each platform applies its own pricing structure. Currency conversion rates, platform transaction fees, and regional pricing strategies account for these variations. Always cross-check your original purchase receipt or payment confirmation email to confirm your exact tier and renewal date. This detail is critical when you contact support or lodge a complaint with the CGSO, as it establishes your baseline spending and helps identify any billing irregularities.
Your consumer rights and what the law requires
South African consumer law places clear obligations on service providers like Pixomatic to make cancellation straightforward and cost-free.
What the consumer protection act guarantees you
The Consumer Protection Act, 2008 mandates that you have the right to cancel any subscription or recurring transaction without penalty or additional fees. Section 6 of the Act requires service providers to supply information that is clear, accurate, and not misleading at the point of purchase and renewal. Furthermore, Section 48 of the Act gives you a 14-day cooling-off period in certain circumstances, during which you may cancel and request a full refund if the service was purchased at a distance (online, by phone, or via app).
Your legal position: If Pixomatic charged you without explicit, informed consent to renewal, or if cancellation is deliberately obscured or made difficult, you have grounds to lodge a complaint with the Consumer Goods and Services Ombudsman. This authority investigates breaches of the Consumer Protection Act at no cost to you and can order the service provider to refund your money if a violation is found.
Cooling-off period eligibility
If you subscribed to Pixomatic online or via an app (distance contract), the 14-day cooling-off period applies. This means you can cancel within 14 days of purchase and receive a full refund, provided you have not yet substantially used the service. You must communicate your cancellation in writing to activate this right. If Pixomatic refuses your cancellation request or disputes the cooling-off period, escalate your complaint to the CGSO, which has enforcement authority over subscription disputes in South Africa.
How to cancel Pixomatic on iOS (Apple app store)
If you subscribed via Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel directly through your Apple ID account settings; Pixomatic cannot process cancellations for you on this platform.
Step one: open the app store app
- Unlock your iPhone or iPad and open the App Store application.
- Ensure you are logged in with the Apple ID account you used to subscribe to Pixomatic.
Step two: navigate to your subscriptions

Step five: verify cancellation in your receipt history
- Return to your profile and select Subscriptions again.
- Confirm that Pixomatic no longer appears under active subscriptions; it may appear under a "Cancelled" or "Expired" section with an end date.
- Retain a screenshot of this confirmation for your records.
How to cancel Pixomatic on android (Google play store)
If you subscribed via Google Play Store on an Android device, you must cancel through your Google Play account settings, not through the Pixomatic app itself.
Step one: open the google play store app
- On your Android device, open the Google Play Store app.
- Ensure you are logged in with the Google Account associated with your Pixomatic subscription.

How to cancel Pixomatic if you subscribed on the website
If you subscribed directly through Pixomatic's website (not via an app store), you must cancel through your account dashboard on their platform.
Step one: log in to your Pixomatic account
- Visit the Pixomatic website and log in with your email address and password.
- Navigate to your account settings or profile page.
Step two: locate subscription management

Step three: initiate cancellation
- Find the button or link that reads Cancel Subscription or Downgrade to Free.
- Click it and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Pixomatic may offer a discount or pause option; decline these if you intend to cancel completely.
Step four: save your cancellation confirmation
- Take a screenshot of the final confirmation page or save any confirmation email you receive.
- Note the exact date your subscription ends and when your access to premium features will be removed.
What happens after you cancel Pixomatic
Cancellation does not mean immediate loss of access; understanding the timeline protects you from unexpected lockouts.
Your access during the notice period
Once you cancel, you retain full access to Pixomatic Premium features until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you subscribed to a monthly plan and cancel on day 10 of your cycle, you have access until day 30 (or 31, depending on the month). You will not be charged again after this date. If you cancel during a weekly subscription, you have access for the remaining days of that week.
What happens to your data and projects
Cancellation does not automatically delete your account or stored projects. Your profile and any edited images typically remain accessible in a free-tier mode, depending on Pixomatic's data retention policy. If you wish to download or export your work before access is removed, do so before your cancellation becomes effective. Yafee recommends backing up any critical images immediately after cancellation confirmation.
Reverting to the free version
After cancellation, you can continue using Pixomatic's free tier, which includes basic editing tools and limited filters. Premium features (advanced background removal, AI-powered adjustments, and exclusive filters) will no longer be available. You can resubscribe at any time if your needs change.
Refund eligibility and how to claim a refund
Your eligibility for a refund depends on when you cancel and which platform processed your subscription.
Refunds within the cooling-off period
If you subscribed to Pixomatic within the last 14 days (counting from the date of purchase), you qualify for the statutory cooling-off period under the Consumer Protection Act. To claim this refund, you must cancel immediately and request a refund in writing, citing the cooling-off period. Send your request to Pixomatic's support email (if available) or contact details, clearly stating your order number and the date of purchase. Yafee advises sending this request via registered email or recorded delivery so you have proof of submission.
Refunds for billing errors or unauthorised charges
If Pixomatic charged you after you cancelled, charged you twice in one billing cycle, or processed a charge without your consent, you have grounds for a refund. Contact your payment provider (your bank, Apple, or Google) immediately and dispute the transaction. Most card issuers will reverse unauthorised or duplicate charges within 30 to 90 days. Simultaneously, lodge a formal complaint with Pixomatic in writing, requesting a refund and an explanation of the error.
Refunds after the cooling-off period
Once the 14-day cooling-off period expires, refunds are not automatic. Nevertheless, if Pixomatic breached the Consumer Protection Act by making cancellation difficult, charging you after cancellation, or failing to disclose renewal terms clearly, you may still claim a refund through the CGSO. File a complaint with the Ombudsman, including evidence of your cancellation, screenshots of the subscription details, and bank statements showing the charges. The CGSO investigates at no cost and can order Pixomatic to refund your money if a violation is confirmed.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling correctly the first time prevents frustration and protects your money; these pitfalls are easily avoided with the right approach.
Deleting the Pixomatic app does not cancel your subscription
Simply uninstalling Pixomatic from your device or removing it from your homescreen will not stop charges. Your subscription remains active, and you will be billed again on your next renewal date. Always cancel through your account settings (Apple ID, Google Play, or Pixomatic's website) before deleting the app.
Forgetting to cancel before the renewal date
Subscriptions renew automatically at midnight on your renewal date. If you intend to cancel, do so at least 24 hours beforehand to ensure your instruction is processed before the charge is applied. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder one week before renewal so you do not miss the deadline.
Failing to confirm cancellation in writing
If you cancel verbally (by phone call or live chat), always request written confirmation via email. A screenshot alone may not be sufficient evidence if a dispute later arises. Retain all confirmation emails and keep a dated record of your cancellation steps.
Not checking your bank statement after cancellation
After you cancel, monitor your bank account for the next two billing cycles to ensure no further charges appear. If a charge posts after your confirmed cancellation date, dispute it immediately with your bank and escalate the complaint to the CGSO with evidence of your cancellation instruction.

Next steps and getting help from yafee
If Pixomatic continues to charge you after cancellation, or if your cancellation request is refused, Yafee provides guidance on filing a formal consumer complaint.
Contact information for Pixomatic support
Before escalating to the CGSO, attempt resolution directly with Pixomatic. Send a written email to their support address (typically [email protected] or available on their website) explaining the issue, attaching your cancellation confirmation, and requesting a response within 10 business days. Keep a copy of this email for your records.
Escalating to the consumer goods and services ombudsman
If Pixomatic does not respond within 10 days, or if they refuse your cancellation or refund claim, lodge a formal complaint with the Consumer Goods and Services Ombudsman (CGSO). The CGSO is South Africa's statutory dispute-resolution authority for consumer complaints and investigates breaches of the Consumer Protection Act at no cost. You can file a complaint online at www.cgso.org.za, by telephone, or by post. Include all evidence: your original receipt, screenshots of your cancellation steps, confirmation emails, bank statements showing the charges, and copies of any correspondence with Pixomatic.
Disputing charges with your bank
Simultaneously, contact your bank or payment provider and dispute any unauthorised or unwanted charges. Most banks can reverse transactions within 90 days of the charge date. Provide your bank with a copy of your cancellation confirmation and explain that you cancelled the subscription but were charged again. Your bank will investigate and, if the charge is found to be unauthorised, will credit your account.
Final summary: regain control of your photo-editing budget
Cancelling Pixomatic is straightforward when you follow the correct steps for your subscription platform. Whether you subscribed via Apple App Store, Google Play, or Pixomatic's website directly, you have a legal right to cancel without penalty, and your cancellation must take effect before the next billing date. The Consumer Protection Act, 2008 ensures that service providers must make cancellation simple and transparent; if Pixomatic makes it difficult or continues charging you after you cancel, you can lodge a complaint with the CGSO.
