Cancel IMDb: Easy Method

What is IMDb

Overview

IMDb (Internet Movie Database) is an online database of information about films, television programs, actors, crew, and related content. It offers a free consumer site and a paid professional service, IMDbPro, with extra profile and industry tools.

Services

IMDb provides cast and crew credits, trailers, ratings, and user reviews. IMDbPro adds contact details, talent representation, enhanced profile features and industry search tools for professionals.

How to cancel IMDb

Requirements

To cancel an IMDbPro subscription you must use a web browser on a desktop or laptop; cancellation cannot be completed from the mobile app.

Have your IMDb account login details available before you start the cancellation process.

Steps to cancel

• Log into your IMDb/IMDbPro account on a desktop web browser.
• Go to Account Settings → Cancel Membership.
• Select "Continue to cancel" and follow prompts; you may be asked to provide feedback.
• Click "Confirm cancellation" to complete the process.
• Access to IMDbPro remains until the end of your current billing period.
• For the official cancellation guide, see IMDbPro cancellation help.

What happens when you cancel

Access and renewal

After cancellation you retain access to IMDbPro features until the end of the paid billing period. The subscription will not automatically renew after that date.

No new billing should occur after the cancellation becomes effective, but monitor your statements to confirm.

Data and profile changes

Personalized content and customizations (images, demo reels, vanity URL, Known For credits, profession display, self-verified data) are removed when you cancel your IMDbPro membership.

Verified filmography entries generally remain visible unless there is no filmography on record; contact support for disputes.

Will I get a refund?

Standard policy

IMDbPro commonly does not issue refunds for fees already charged during a billing cycle; cancellation stops future billing but typically does not refund the current charge.

If you cancel during a free trial period for new users, the card should not be charged as long as cancellation occurs before the trial ends.

Exceptions and how to request a refund

• If you believe you were charged in error or fraudulently, contact IMDb customer support with full billing details.
• Provide cardholder name, card type, last four digits, card expiry, billing ZIP/postal code, date and amount charged when requesting a refund.
• See support steps at how to request a refund.
