How to cancel Synthesia
Cancel via Web (direct at synthesia.io)
- Sign in to your account and go to your profile.
- Navigate: Account Info → Billing → click “cancel your subscription” under the plan name, then confirm.
- If on the Free Plan, cancellation isn’t necessary; to delete the account you must contact support.
Cancel via mobile stores (iOS / Android)
- iOS: Use Apple App Store subscription management to cancel; refunds and billing are handled by Apple.

What happens when you cancel
Access and content
Cancelling a paid subscription typically removes access to paid features and may prevent further video exports.
Download any videos and export files before cancelling to retain copies of your content.
Billing and restoration
Cancellation stops future renewals but does not retroactively delete prior invoices or payments.
If you mistakenly cancel, contact Synthesia support promptly; restoration requests may be accepted within 48 hours.
Will I get a refund?
Web purchases (direct)
- PayPal payments: up to 180 days for a full refund in eligible cases.
- Other payment methods: up to 120 days for a full refund in eligible cases.
- Refunds terminate your license and access to paid features once processed.
In-app purchases and older policies
- App Store / Google Play purchases: refunds are handled by Apple or Google; Synthesia does not issue these refunds directly.

Your consumer rights in Singapore
Legal context
Under Singapore law, digital content should be supplied with reasonable care and skill under general consumer protections.
However, there is no automatic statutory 14-day cooling-off right for online software subscriptions unless explicitly provided.
How it applies to Synthesia
- Synthesia’s published refund terms (up to 180/120 days) are more generous than statutory minima and apply to direct web purchases.
- For in-app purchases you must rely on Apple or Google Play refund processes and terms.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Users praise ease of use, intuitive interface, many avatars and templates, multilingual support, and helpful onboarding resources.
- Some reviewers highlight professional output quality and valuable training webinars or courses.
Negative feedback
- Reported issues include slow performance, limited control over avatar prosody, and difficulties creating personal avatars.
- Several users report opaque or inconsistent content moderation decisions, trouble cancelling through some channels, and refund disputes.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Account email and subscription ID (if available).
- Payment receipts or invoices showing recent charges.
- Screenshots of billing page, subscription settings, or error messages.
- Exported video files you wish to keep (download before cancelling).
Additional items useful for refunds or disputes
- Transaction IDs from PayPal, card statements, App Store or Google Play purchase receipts.
- Any support ticket numbers or previous correspondence with Synthesia.
Common mistakes
Not downloading content first
Many users cancel without exporting their videos. Once access to paid features ends, exports may be blocked.
Always download completed videos and source files before cancelling or requesting a refund.
Expecting App Store/Google Play refunds from Synthesia
Users sometimes ask Synthesia to refund in-app purchases. Apple and Google control those refunds; contact them through their store interfaces.
Also avoid assuming a statutory 14-day automatic refund for SaaS subscriptions in Singapore.
