Cancellation Depositphotos: Easy Method
What is Depositphotos
A stock content subscription with auto-renew turned on by default
Depositphotos is a stock media platform that sells access to photos, vectors, illustrations, PNG files, and music. In practical terms, most people in Malaysia sign up because they need design assets fast for a website, social post, online shop banner, or client work, then later realise the plan renews automatically unless they switch it off.
That frustration is common lah. Many users do not mind paying once, but they get annoyed when cancellation steps feel hidden or when the next charge appears before they expected it. Depositphotos says all subscription plans auto-renew by default and that you can cancel auto-renewal from your account settings "to ensure uninterrupted access to downloads" (depositphotos.com/faq/article/360007318494.html).
What users actually pay for on this platform
The paid side of Depositphotos is mainly built around recurring subscriptions and some one-time packs. Subscription users usually pay for unlimited image downloads or unlimited music downloads, while pack buyers pay once for a fixed number of downloads that stay valid for a limited period.
The recurring plans shown by the service include an Unlimited Downloads Plan at $29.00 (RM137)* per month and a Music Unlimited Subscription at $12.99 (RM61)* per month. There is also an annual image option at $348.00 (RM1,643)* for the year, which works out cheaper than paying the monthly image plan for 12 separate months (depositphotos.com/subscribe.html).
How Depositphotos works for users in Malaysia
For Malaysian users, the service is available online and billing is still commonly shown in USD, so local readers should watch the converted amount carefully before paying. In this guide, every price is shown in MYR with the original USD amount in brackets because Depositphotos publishes pricing in USD (depositphotos.com/subscribe.html).
Malaysia-specific cancellation details are not heavily localised on the site. There is no Malaysia cancellation address published in the verified sources, no clear local support hours, and no live chat listed. Support is available by email at [email protected] and by phone at +1-646-809-7407 or +1-888-786-2758, but response time is not clearly stated, so do not wait until billing day if you want to stop the next charge.
How to cancel Depositphotos without getting charged again
Checks to do before you click cancel
If you are already irritated because the steps are not obvious, slow down for five minutes and gather proof first. Depositphotos does not send reminders about upcoming renewals, so your own billing date matters a lot here (depositphotos.com/faq/article/360007318494.html).
- Open your account and screenshot your current plan name, renewal date, and whether auto-renewal is on.
- Check whether you subscribed on the website, through App Store, or through Google Play.
- Download any files you still need before the end date, because unused downloads may expire after the subscription ends.
- Save your latest payment receipt, bank card record, or invoice amount such as $29.00 (RM137)* or $12.99 (RM61)*.
This quick prep solves two common problems. One is being charged after thinking you cancelled. The other is asking for a refund but having no screenshot, no renewal date, and no proof of where the subscription was bought.
Cancel on the website through your Depositphotos account
If you subscribed directly on Depositphotos, this is the core path. Log in, then go to Plans, then Active Plans, then Subscription, then Settings, and switch the On/Off toggle to disable auto-renewal (depositphotos.com/faq/article/360007318494.html).
After switching it off, do not just close the tab and assume all settled. Stay on the page and look for a visible status change that shows renewal is disabled. Then take a screenshot with the date and time. This is your strongest proof if a later charge appears.
If the page is confusing, open the official help page here: Depositphotos help and cancellation information. Some users in reviews complained that the option was hard to find, so if you do not see the toggle, try desktop browser view rather than mobile view.
Cancel through App Store or Google Play if that is where you subscribed
If your Depositphotos subscription was started inside an app ecosystem, cancel it there and not on the Depositphotos website. This mistake catches many people can or not? They switch off something on the site, but the actual recurring charge is still managed by Apple or Google.
- App Store on iPhone or iPad: open App Store, tap your profile icon, tap Subscriptions, select Depositphotos, then tap Cancel Subscription.
- Google Play on Android: open Google Play Store, open the menu, tap Subscriptions, select Depositphotos, then tap Cancel Subscription.
- After cancellation, screenshot the confirmation page and save the email from Apple or Google if one arrives.
- Compare the next bank statement against the store confirmation date.
Use the same store account that made the purchase. If your work phone and personal phone use different Apple IDs or Google accounts, check both before concluding the subscription is gone.
Email, phone, and written cancellation if the account route fails
If the account page does not work, contact support fast. Use [email protected] and include your account email, plan name, renewal date, amount charged, and a plain request such as "Please confirm auto-renewal is disabled as of today." Clear details often help, based on the one review that described a useful support outcome after detailed explanation (TrustPilot).
You can also call +1-646-809-7407 or +1-888-786-2758. Support hours are not specified in the verified data, so call during Malaysian evening hours if you want a better chance of catching US office time. Follow up by email right after the call so you have a written trail.
If you want paper proof, you can send a registered letter, although Depositphotos does not publish a dedicated Malaysia cancellation address in the verified sources. Some consumers now use a digital registered delivery service such as Postclic because it creates timestamped proof of sending, receipt, and opening without queueing at the post office. Use this only as an extra record, not as your only action, since the account switch remains the main cancellation route.
Once you switch off renewal, what changes in your account
You usually keep access until the end of the paid term
The key point is this: turning off auto-renewal does not normally cut access on the same day. It stops the next billing cycle. If your next billing date is 30 August, you should usually keep access until that date, then the paid features end after the current term finishes.
This matters because some users cancel in panic and worry they will lose access immediately. Depositphotos states that access will be suspended once the subscription ends, not the moment you disable renewal. That gives you a short window to use the service properly before expiry.
If you do nothing, the plan renews automatically
Depositphotos says all subscription plans auto-renew by default (depositphotos.com/faq/article/360007318494.html). There is also no reminder notice before renewal, based on the verified cancellation policy summary. So if your plan is monthly at $29.00 (RM137)* and you miss the date, expect another month to be charged automatically.
For annual monthly commitment variants, this can be more painful because users may feel locked in longer than expected. One user review complained, "They locked me into a year auto renew without telling me, and will not let me cancel!" (Better Business Bureau). That is exactly why screenshotting the plan type before purchase and before cancellation is worth doing.
Your unused downloads and account data may not stay useful forever
Depositphotos says unused downloads may expire after cancellation and access is suspended once the subscription ends. The verified data does not clearly explain a detailed retention period for every kind of account data, so assume you should save what you need before the final day.
If you have invoices, licence details, or download history that matter for client work, save copies before expiry. For designers and small businesses in Malaysia, that is more practical than arguing later about what should still be visible in an inactive account.
Depositphotos refund rules and the terms that really matter
The refund rule is short: 30 days, and no downloads if you want the best chance
If you feel upset because you cancelled but still want your money back, here is the clear part. Depositphotos offers a 30-day refund period for eligible purchases and renewals if you contact support within 30 days. After 30 days, the policy says no refunds will be issued (depositphotos.com/faq/article/360007318494.html).
The important condition is even stricter. If you downloaded any files from the plan, you are generally not eligible for a refund. If no files were downloaded and you are still within 30 days of purchase or renewal, your case is much stronger.
How to ask for a refund in a way support can process faster
Send one clean email to [email protected] with the subject line "Refund request within 30 days". Add your account email, transaction date, amount, plan name, and one sentence confirming whether any files were downloaded after purchase or renewal.
- State the exact charge, such as $29.00 (RM137)* or $12.99 (RM61)*.
- Attach a screenshot of the renewal charge from your bank or card statement.
- Attach a screenshot showing auto-renewal status if you already switched it off.
- Ask for written confirmation of approval or refusal.
If the problem is a billing error, Depositphotos says refunds may be issued depending on the circumstances. In plain terms, if you were charged twice, charged after documented cancellation, or charged the wrong plan, say that directly and attach proof from the first message.
Depositphotos terms on auto-renewal, commitment, trial, and account consequences
Auto-renewal and commitment length
The service terms say all subscription plans auto-renew by default. They also say there is no annual commitment unless you purchased an annual monthly subscription, and that you can cancel through Plans and Active Plans in your account settings (depositphotos.com/faq/article/360007318494.html).
For users in Malaysia, the practical reading is simple. A normal month-to-month plan can be stopped before the next billing date without a cancellation fee, but an annual monthly structure may still involve a longer billing arrangement than a plain monthly plan. Read the plan name carefully before checkout.
Free trial, unused downloads, and dispute wording
Depositphotos says a free trial is offered in certain countries and that signing up gives the first week free on an annual monthly subscription plan. That means a trial can convert into a paid recurring plan if you do not stop it in time, so set a phone reminder on the same day you activate it.
The terms summary also says unused downloads may expire after cancellation and service access is suspended once the subscription ends. The broader terms are governed by United States law and mention binding arbitration, but if you are a consumer in Malaysia dealing with billing or unfair charges, your local complaint path still runs through KPDN, TTPM, and your bank where relevant.
Chargeback and payment disputes in Malaysia
If Depositphotos refuses a refund and you have strong proof of an unauthorised or wrongly repeated charge, a chargeback can be the last resort. In Malaysia, cardholders usually call this a chargeback or disputing an unauthorised or recurring card transaction with the issuing bank.
Typical bank and card-network timeframes are around 60 to 120 days from the transaction date or from when the issue was discovered. This sits within Bank Negara Malaysia’s financial consumer protection framework under the Financial Services Act 2013 or Islamic Financial Services Act 2013, so if you go this route, send your bank the screenshots, emails, cancellation proof, and statement entries in one file.
Depositphotos plans and pricing in MYR for Malaysian users
Current recurring plans and what they cost
| Plan | Price (USD / MYR) | Billing | Main use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unlimited Downloads Plan | $29.00 (RM137)* | Monthly | Images unlimited |
| Unlimited Downloads Plan | $348.00 (RM1,643)* | Annual | Images unlimited |
| Music Unlimited Subscription | $12.99 (RM61)* | Monthly | Music unlimited |
Prices are approximate, converted from USD at 1 USD ≈ 4.72 MYR. Depositphotos may change pricing, so check the official website for exact local prices.
Which plan is cheapest, which is priciest, and whether annual saves money
The cheapest recurring plan in the verified data is the Music Unlimited Subscription at $12.99 (RM61)* per month. The highest total recurring commitment shown is the annual Unlimited Downloads Plan at $348.00 (RM1,643)* for the year.
If you compare annual images against paying the monthly image plan for 12 months, monthly would cost $348.00 (RM1,643)* as well based on the verified data. That means no visible annual discount is shown in the research provided here, so do not assume annual is better value unless the checkout page shows a separate promotion on the day you subscribe.
Watch for one-time packs versus subscriptions
Depositphotos also sells image packs such as 30 downloads for $9.00 (RM42)* and 100 downloads for $27.00 (RM127)*, but those are one-time purchases rather than subscriptions. They matter because some readers only need a few assets and may be overpaying on a recurring plan when a pack would have been enough.
If you only needed three photos for a campaign, a subscription can feel expensive very quickly if you forget to cancel. That exact complaint tone appears in user feedback about repeated monthly billing after limited use, so check whether your account has a subscription or only a pack before trying to cancel recurring charges.
Your rights in Malaysia if the cancellation or refund goes wrong
The local law that matters for subscription disputes
In Malaysia, subscription and distance purchase issues sit under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. The jurisdiction data for this guide states a 10-day cooling-off period for contracts made at a distance or off-premises, during which consumers can cancel without penalty by notifying the supplier in writing.
Applied to Depositphotos, this means you should not just rely on clicking around and hoping the status changed. If you are within the relevant cooling-off window and want to withdraw, send a written notice by email on the same day and keep the timestamp. This creates a cleaner record if there is later disagreement.
How Depositphotos policy lines up with Malaysian consumer practice
Depositphotos gives a 30-day refund window for eligible purchases if no files were downloaded, which is actually longer than the 10-day cooling-off period mentioned in the Malaysia law block. The catch is that Depositphotos adds usage conditions, while local consumer rights analysis usually focuses on the contract type and timing of withdrawal.
If you downloaded nothing and asked within 10 days, quote both points together in your message. Say you are exercising your cancellation right in writing and also requesting a refund under Depositphotos’ own 30-day policy. That double argument is often more persuasive than using only one basis.
Where to complain if support ignores you
If Depositphotos does not respond, file a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, known as KPDN. If the dispute is about money and you want a consumer claim, the Tribunal for Consumer Claims Malaysia, or TTPM, is the next practical path.
- Prepare screenshots of your plan page, cancellation status, and all support emails.
- Save statement entries showing each charge amount and date.
- Write a short timeline with purchase date, cancellation date, and disputed renewal date.
- Submit the complaint to KPDN and consider TTPM for monetary redress.
For card payment disputes, contact your issuing bank on the same day as the complaint. That parallel move is senang because it preserves your chargeback timeline while the merchant support process drags on.
What customers say about cancelling and dealing with support
Overall verdict from the review sample
Overall review trend: 5 out of 5 unique reviews in the research sample were negative. Based on that sample, cancellation is not seen as easy. The main pain points are auto-renewal confusion, difficulty reaching support, and frustration about refunds or account controls.
To be fair, one of those negative reviews still described a useful human support outcome after a delay, so the picture is not hopeless. The issue is less about impossible cancellation and more about unclear flow, slow support, and poor confidence at the moment users need quick answers.
Recurring themes in the complaints
| Theme | Frequency | Typical example |
|---|---|---|
| Auto-renewal shock | High | Unexpected monthly billing |
| Hard to cancel | High | Option hard to find |
| Slow support | Medium | Hours without reply |
| App issues | Low | Crash after reinstall |
| Source | Rating | Main topic | Sentiment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sitejabber | 1/5 | Ease of cancellation | Negative |
| Better Business Bureau | No score shown | Auto-renewal | Negative |
| TrustPilot | 5/5 review text | Customer service | Mixed-negative |
| JustUseApp | No score shown | App stability | Negative |
Specific user quotes worth reading before you cancel
- "They are doing automatic billing directly from your credit card every month... They never stop to debit money from your account... My injury was $354 U.S. dollars [about RM1,671]." (Sitejabber)
- "They locked me into a year auto renew without telling me, and will not let me cancel!" (Better Business Bureau)
- "I asked for a cancellation of auto-renew, and have been refused." (Better Business Bureau)
- "The next day, I received lengthy, detailed responses from real human beings who gave me several good options." (TrustPilot)
- "It’s been a month and Depositphotos still crashes every time." (JustUseApp)
For Malaysian users, the local issue pattern matches the review sample quite closely. The research data specifically notes limited live support, unclear support hours, and user difficulty when active plans or auto-renewal are involved.
Documents and screenshots to keep before and after cancellation
Before you cancel, save the evidence that matters
Do not rely on memory. Save a screenshot of the Active Plans page, the Subscription settings page, and the renewal amount. If your plan is $29.00 (RM137)* monthly, capture that amount together with the renewal date in one image if possible.
- Screenshot of Plans and Active Plans
- Screenshot of Subscription settings toggle
- Invoice or receipt email
- Bank or card transaction line
For refund requests and later disputes
Refund cases move faster when your file is complete from the start. Include the transaction ID, the exact date of purchase or renewal, and a statement about whether any files were downloaded after the charge.
After cancellation, save the confirmation email or final account screenshot showing auto-renewal is disabled. Then check your next statement date and keep monitoring for at least one full billing cycle.
Mistakes that commonly lead to extra charges or failed refund requests
Cancelling through the wrong channel
A classic mistake is cancelling on the Depositphotos website when the subscription was actually created through App Store or Google Play. In that case, the store still controls billing and the next renewal may go through.
Solution: trace the original receipt. If Apple or Google sent the receipt, cancel in that ecosystem and save the store confirmation.
Waiting until billing day because support was slow
Some users report delayed responses and unclear support hours. If you email on the same day the charge is due, you are taking an unnecessary risk because auto-renewal is already on by default.
Solution: switch off renewal in the account at least a few days before the next billing date, then email support only as backup. That order is much safer than waiting for a reply first.
Expecting a refund after downloading files
Depositphotos’ refund policy is strict on usage. If any files were downloaded from the plan, refund eligibility drops sharply even if you cancel within 30 days.
Solution: if you changed your mind right after purchase, stop using the plan immediately and file the refund request before downloading anything else. State that clearly in your first message.
Not keeping proof that auto-renewal was turned off
Users often trust the screen, close the page, and never save proof. If a later charge appears, they then have to argue without a timestamped screenshot or confirmation email.
Solution: save the status page immediately after switching the toggle. If possible, also save the browser URL and date in the screenshot.
Ignoring small plan details such as annual monthly commitment or trial conversion
One review complained about feeling trapped in a yearly auto-renew setup. The terms also say a free trial in certain countries can start on an annual monthly subscription plan.
Solution: read the plan label before checkout, not after the first charge. If it says annual monthly or free week linked to an annual monthly plan, set a reminder on day one.
A side by side recap of every cancellation route
Methods, timing, fees, and effort level
| Method | Notice period | Fee | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web/account | Before next billing | No fee found | Easy |
| App Store (iOS) | Before next billing | No fee found | Medium |
| Google Play (Android) | Before next billing | No fee found | Medium |
| Registered mail | 5-10 business days | No fee found | Higher, best proof |
The practical takeaway for Malaysian users
No cancellation fee was found in the terms data, and no early termination fee was identified. The real cost risk is not a penalty fee. It is forgetting the renewal date or using the wrong cancellation channel.
If you want the fastest path, use the same billing channel where you subscribed. If you want stronger evidence, combine account cancellation with an email record and keep screenshots for one full cycle.
What to do right after cancellation so the matter stays closed
Immediate follow-up after you turn off renewal
As soon as you cancel, take one last screenshot and create a calendar reminder for the expected end date. Then check your email for a confirmation from Depositphotos, Apple, or Google, depending on where the subscription sits.
If no confirmation arrives within the same day, log in again and recheck the status. This small step prevents the horrible feeling of thinking you settled everything, only to see another RM137-sized equivalent charge next month.
Watch your bank statement and know when to dispute a charge
Monitor at least the next one to two billing cycles. Look for the merchant name, the exact amount, and whether the charge date matches a cancelled renewal. If a charge appears after documented cancellation, contact support the same day and then inform your card-issuing bank.
In Malaysia, the bank dispute is usually called a chargeback or a dispute of an unauthorised or recurring transaction. Typical timing is around 60 to 120 days from the transaction or discovery date, so do not sit on it. Keep all screenshots, emails, and statement copies in one folder for the bank.
Alternatives if you still need stock assets after cancelling
If Depositphotos no longer suits you, Shutterstock starts around $29.99 (RM142)* per month for a standard plan, Adobe Stock starts around $29.99 (RM142)* per month for 10 assets, and Envato Elements starts around $16.50 (RM78)* per month for its Core plan. If your budget is zero, Pexels is free.
For Malaysian freelancers and SMEs, the right replacement depends on volume. If you need only occasional visuals, a free source or one-time pack often beats another recurring plan.

About the cancellation address and whether you need postal mail
No Malaysia cancellation address was found in the verified sources
Depositphotos does not provide a dedicated Malaysia cancellation postal address in the verified sources used for this guide. That means the cleanest route is still online through your account settings, backed up by email to [email protected].
This is not ideal for consumers who prefer a named local office, but it is the reality here. If your issue is urgent, online cancellation plus a written support email creates the fastest usable record.
If you still want to send a written notice
There is no verified cancellation address in Malaysia in the approved source set for this article. So if you choose postal notice, treat it as secondary evidence and not your primary cancellation action.
The safest Malaysian approach is simple: switch off auto-renewal in the account, email support the same day, save screenshots, then monitor your bank statement. If Depositphotos still charges you after that, escalate to your bank, KPDN, and TTPM with the full document trail.
