Will I lose my Figma files if I cancel?

No, your files stay in your account when you downgrade to Starter. What you lose is **feature access**: unlimited version history drops to 30 days, team libraries stop syncing, editor seats become view-restricted, and projects with more than 3 files can get locked to view-only until you reorganize them. Export anything important (File → Save local copy, plus exporting frames as PDF/PNG) before the billing period ends.

Cancelled Figma but still being charged, why?

Three usual causes: (1) you removed your card but never clicked the final 'Cancel plan' button, so the team renewed; (2) extra editor seats were assigned and weren't removed before the invoice, Figma charges for the seats present on renewal day; (3) you cancelled one team but have another paid team on the same account. Open Admin → Settings on every team you own. If the charge is genuinely post-cancellation, reply to your support ticket and ask for it to be escalated to a manager.

How do I cancel my Figma free trial before being charged?

Figma doesn't run a classic time-limited free trial of Professional in most regions, the free **Starter** plan is permanent, and Professional starts billing as soon as you upgrade. If you upgraded by mistake, cancel immediately via Admin → Settings → Plan → Cancel plan; you'll still be billed for the current period (monthly) but won't renew. EU/UK users who upgraded within the last 14 days can cite the Consumer Rights Directive cooling-off period when emailing support@figma.com.

How do I cancel my Figma Education plan?

The Education plan can't be self-cancelled from the billing screen. Email Figma support from the address tied to your education account and tell them you want to switch back to Starter (or switch to a paid Professional plan if you've left school). Support will make the change manually. Use the in-app help widget (? icon → Contact support) or email support@figma.com directly, replies usually arrive within 24 hours.

Can I pause my Figma subscription instead of cancelling?

Figma doesn't offer a pause option. The closest thing is to cancel and let the team downgrade to free Starter, your files stay, and you can re-upgrade any time from Admin → Settings → Plan and billing without losing your workspace. If you only have a few editors who don't need access right now, removing them as editors and leaving them as viewers (free) stops their seat cost without ending the team's plan.

Does Figma have a cancellation fee?

No cancellation or early-termination fee on standard Professional plans, you just keep paying for the current cycle you're in. On annual Organization/Enterprise contracts, the 'fee' is effectively the rest of the annual term: you've pre-paid it and Figma won't refund the unused portion. Pay-As-You-Go charges (e.g. for AI credits, additional editor seats added mid-cycle) are explicitly non-refundable per the renewal and cancellation terms.

How do I cancel a Figma plugin subscription?

Plugin subscriptions are billed through Stripe, not Figma's own billing. In the Figma Community, open the plugin's page, click 'Manage subscription' and you'll be redirected to your Stripe customer portal where you can cancel or update payment. **Plugin subscriptions are not refunded when cancelled**, but you keep access until the end of the current billing cycle. If you believe you have grounds for a refund, contact the plugin's developer first, then support@figma.com if they don't respond.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Figma?

Usually one of three things: the cancellation never completed (no written confirmation), the subscription bills through Apple or Google and must be cancelled there, or a minimum term is still running. Charges continuing after a confirmed cancellation can be disputed with your bank as a chargeback.

How do I delete my Figma account?

Cancel the subscription first, then request account deletion in settings or by email. If there is no self-serve option, email a written erasure request citing the applicable data-protection law; most companies complete erasure within about 30 days.

Figma’s refund policy

Figma subscriptions are non-refundable by default, on a monthly plan, your seat stays active until the end of the period you've paid for, then downgrades to free Starter. There are no prorated refunds for mid-cycle cancellation, and Pay-As-You-Go credits don't refund. The 30-day window in the terms is the notice period to stop the next annual renewal, not a money-back window. Exceptions exist for billing errors, accidental seat additions, and EU/UK consumer-law cooling-off claims, email support@figma.com with the invoice and a clear explanation.

“Customer may cancel its subscription(s) within 30 days before the end of Customer's annual term by contacting Figma's support team at support@figma.com. If Customer cancels its subscription(s), Customer will not receive a refund of any portion of the fee paid for Customer's annual term, unless stated otherwise. Pay-As-You-Go charges accrued are non-refundable.”

Does Figma charge a cancellation fee?

Figma’s terms mention conditions worth checking before you cancel, see the plan notes and policy quote above for the specifics we found. In general: rolling monthly plans end at the period you’ve already paid for with nothing extra to pay, while minimum-term or contract plans can carry an early-exit charge until the term ends.

What doesn’t work for cancelling Figma

Based on 2 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Cancelling via the mobile app, Figma's mobile app doesn't surface billing controls; cancellation must be done in a desktop browser or the desktop app by a team owner/admin.
✕ Posting in the Figma Forum to get a refund, Figmate moderators state they can't review billing or refund cases in the Forum for privacy/security reasons, they only escalate the ticket internally.
✕ Phoning Figma to cancel, Figma doesn't offer phone or live-chat support, the only direct channels are the Fig AI chatbot and email (Professional+ only).
✕ Removing your card to stop billing, Cancelling the plan, not removing payment, is what stops invoices; users report past-due notices when they only deleted the card.
✕ Cancelling the team but leaving extra seats assigned, Charges for editor/Full seats stick until you manually remove the user, even after you click Cancel plan.
✕ Asking for a pro-rata refund mid-month, Figma support explicitly confirms they don't prorate, the seat stays active to the end of the billing period and that's the only credit you get.

Cancelled Figma but still being charged?

Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:

The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Figma, treat it as not cancelled. Email billing@figma.com referencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since.
You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Figma’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
You're inside a minimum term. Some Figma plans keep charging until a fixed term ends even after you cancel, check the plan notes above.

If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Figma charges again.

How Figma will try to keep you

Figma may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Cancellation-reason survey before the final 'Cancel plan' click”
You say: Pick any reason, none of them change the outcome. The plan only downgrades after you click Cancel plan on the final screen, so don't stop midway thinking you're done.
They’ll say: “'Your team will lose features' warning (unlimited version history, team libraries, Dev Mode)”
You say: Export anything you need first: file → Export, and download a copy of FigJam boards. Version history beyond 30 days is gone on Starter, but your files themselves stay.
They’ll say: “'Cancel via support email' friction for Organization/Enterprise”
You say: Org and Enterprise can't self-serve cancel. Email support@figma.com at least 30 days before your renewal date with subject 'Non-renewal notice, [workspace name]' so you don't get auto-charged for another annual term.
They’ll say: “Charging for accidentally added editor seats with no refund”
You say: Remove the extra seat immediately, then email support@figma.com citing the accidental add and request a goodwill credit. Reddit/Forum reports show this is granted inconsistently, be polite, attach the invoice, and reference your support ticket number.
They’ll say: “Slow ticket queue ('higher than usual volume')”
You say: If your case is silent for 5+ business days, reply to the same thread to bump it, and post a public follow-up on the Figma Forum referencing your ticket number, moderators routinely escalate flagged tickets internally.

Your rights when cancelling

The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.

United States

FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (2024+)
Cancel must be as easy as sign-up.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires Figma to make cancelling at least as simple as signing up, same channel, same number of clicks. If they buried the cancel button or forced a phone call, they’re in violation; report to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
California ARL (auto-renewal law)
Renewal must be cancellable online.
California Business & Professions Code §17602 forces any company billing California residents on auto-renewal to provide an online cancel mechanism. Lawsuits have been won on this; companies often refund quickly when it’s cited.

Worldwide

Card-issuer chargeback
Your bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes, “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Figma has ~45 days to defend.

Rights in other regions (United Kingdom, European Union)

United Kingdom

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
14-day cooling-off on new subscriptions.
You can terminate any continuous service contract within 14 days of starting it and recover any payment, no questions asked. Applies regardless of Figma’s own policy.
Consumer Rights Act 2015
Services must be as described.
If Figma’s service was misrepresented or didn’t deliver what was promised, you have a statutory right to remedy (repair, refund, or price reduction) regardless of their terms.

European Union

Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU
14-day right of withdrawal across all EU states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. Figma must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.

Delete your Figma account (not just cancel)

Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.

If there’s no delete option in Figma’s account settings, email billing@figma.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under state privacy laws such as the CCPA. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.

Common questions about cancelling Figma

In a desktop browser, open the Figma File Browser, click the team name in the sidebar, then **Admin → Settings → Plan and billing → Cancel plan**. Pick a cancellation reason and confirm. You'll keep Professional features until the end of the billing period, then the team auto-downgrades to the free Starter plan. Only team owners or admins see the Cancel button, if you don't see it, you're not the admin. For Organization or Enterprise, you have to email support@figma.com instead.
