Cancellation Shutterstock: Easy Method

What is Shutterstock

Overview

Shutterstock is a subscription-based stock content service that provides images, vectors, illustrations and video clips for personal and commercial use.

Users access content via subscriptions or one-time in-app purchases and manage plans through their account or platform (App Store / Google Play) subscriptions.

Key features

Features include a searchable library, filtering tools, and multiple purchase options such as single-image purchases, image packs and video clips.

Licensing and usage rules are governed by Shutterstock’s license terms available on their site.

How to cancel Shutterstock

Cancel via the Shutterstock website (recommended for web subscriptions)

  • Sign in to your Shutterstock account and open the Plans page in Account settings.
  • Choose the active plan and select the option to cancel; follow on-screen confirmation steps.
  • See Shutterstock’s cancellation help for details: How do I cancel my Shutterstock plan?

Cancel via mobile platforms (iOS / Android)

  • iOS (Apple App Store): Cancel subscriptions through your Apple ID > Subscriptions; Shutterstock cannot cancel App Store subscriptions for you.
  • Android (Google Play): Cancel through Google Play > Subscriptions in your Google account following the standard Google Play process.
  • Guidance on cancelling via app stores: Cancel Shutterstock (App Store / Google Play guidance)

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

For month-to-month and annual upfront subscriptions cancelled before renewal, access typically continues until the end of the paid period.

For annual plans billed monthly with an early cancellation fee, Shutterstock may allow limited continued access as described in the terms.

Account and content

Your account, download history and purchased licenses normally remain available after cancellation so previously licensed content can still be used under the licence terms.

Deleting an account is separate from cancelling a subscription and may not remove billing details automatically; check account settings and support options.

Will I get a refund?

General refund policy

Shutterstock’s standard position is that purchases are non-refundable except where required by law.

Reference: Shutterstock refund information: Can I get a refund if I cancel my plan?

Exceptions and regional rules

  • EU and UK consumers may be eligible for a refund within 14 days if no downloads or credits were used.
  • Annual commitment plans generally do not receive pro‑rata refunds; early cancellation may incur a fee instead of a refund.
  • Check local consumer laws for additional rights that may apply in India.

Your consumer rights in India

Legal protections

Under India’s Consumer Protection Act, 2019, consumers are protected from unfair trade practices including misleading auto‑renewal clauses and non-transparent terms.

Institutions such as the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) and State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions enforce these rights.

How to take action

  • If you believe Shutterstock’s practices are unfair or misleading in India, you can file a complaint with the CCPA or the appropriate State Consumer Commission.
  • Document communications, billing records and screenshots; these will help support a complaint.
  • General background on the CCPA: Central Consumer Protection Authority (Wikipedia)

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

  • Many users praise Shutterstock’s large library and effective filtering tools for finding relevant content.
  • Some reviewers report good value from flexible purchase options like image packs and discount coupons.

Common complaints

  • Users often report confusion over auto‑renewal terms and difficulty cancelling subscriptions or removing payment details.
  • Numerous reviews mention unexpected charges and frustration with customer support responsiveness.
  • See user reviews: Sitejabber reviews and Trustpilot reviews.

Documentation checklist

What to gather before you cancel or complain

  • Account email and username used for Shutterstock.
  • Order receipts, subscription confirmation emails and payment transaction IDs.
  • Subscription/plan name, start and renewal dates, and number of downloads used.

Supporting evidence for disputes

  • Screenshots of plan pages, cancellation attempts and any on‑screen confirmation messages.
  • Copies of communications with Shutterstock support and your bank statements showing charges.

Common mistakes

Frequently made errors

Attempting to cancel a subscription in the wrong place (for example, cancelling on the website when the purchase was through Apple/Google) is a frequent mistake.

Always confirm where the subscription was purchased and cancel via that platform to avoid ongoing charges.

Refund and expectation errors

Assuming automatic refunds after cancellation is another common issue; Shutterstock’s policy is generally non‑refundable except where law requires otherwise.

If you cancel an annual plan billed monthly, expect possible early‑termination fees rather than pro rata refunds.
