Does Freepik offer a refund?

Yes — Freepik advertises a **30-day money-back guarantee**, but only if you haven't downloaded a single resource from Freepik.com or Flaticon.com and haven't consumed any AI credits during that billing period. Submit the request via the contact form (Queries about Premium subscription → Refund) from the email on the account, and include the payment ID. Only the current billing period is refundable — previous payments are not.

Is my Freepik subscription automatically renewed?

Yes. All paid Freepik subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) on the same payment method, unless you cancel before the renewal date. Promotional discounts and coupon codes apply only to the first payment — renewals are charged at the standard price. If a renewal payment fails, Freepik retries three times (after 1, 7 and 21 days) before cancelling the subscription.

Is there a Freepik cancellation fee?

No — Freepik's pricing page explicitly states 'no cancellation fees' alongside the 30-day refund guarantee. Cancelling simply stops the next charge; the plan you've already paid for runs to the end of its billing period. The catch is that cancelling does **not** trigger a refund on its own — you have to separately request one within 30 days, and only if you haven't downloaded anything or used AI credits.

Why is Freepik still charging me after I cancelled?

Three common causes: (1) you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play and the cancellation has to be done there, not on freepik.com; (2) there's a second active subscription on the account (a family member or duplicate purchase); or (3) the cancellation didn't go through. Check your purchase platform first, then email **support@freepik.com** from the account's email address with the payment ID. If support stalls, raise a chargeback with your card or PayPal — Trustpilot reviewers report this is often what finally unblocks refunds.

How do I get a Freepik refund after the 30 days?

Officially you can't — Freepik limits refunds to the current billing period within 30 days, and partial refunds for unused months on an annual plan are explicitly not offered. Practical routes that have worked for some users: cite UK Consumer Rights Act / EU Consumer Rights Directive if the service was misrepresented (e.g. 'unlimited' downloads capped at 100/day), file a Section 75 claim if you paid by UK credit card, or open a chargeback with your bank or PayPal citing the billing dispute.

Can I cancel Freepik via the app or only the website?

It depends on where you subscribed. Web subscriptions are cancelled at freepik.com → profile → Plan & billing → Danger zone → Cancel subscription. iOS subscriptions must be cancelled in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions, and Android subscriptions in Google Play → Menu → Subscriptions → Freepik. Refunds for mobile-store subscriptions are handled by Apple or Google, not by Freepik — the Freepik 30-day money-back guarantee only applies to web purchases.

What if Freepik ignores my cancellation or refund request?

Multiple reviewers report template responses and ignored tickets. Escalation order: (1) reply to the existing ticket quoting the 30-day refund clause and your payment ID; (2) email **support@freepik.com** from the email on the account with the same details; (3) raise a chargeback with your card issuer or PayPal — under UK rules, Section 75 covers credit-card purchases over £100; (4) for EU residents, file via the European Consumer Centre. Keep screenshots of every interaction.

Can I get my Freepik credits refunded?

Only for extra credit packs (not the credits included in a subscription). If you bought a top-up pack and haven't used a single credit from it, you can request a refund within 14 days via the contact form — Subscriptions & Payments → Request refund → Credits pack. The moment any credits from the pack are consumed, the pack becomes non-refundable. Subscription plan credits expire when you cancel and cannot be recovered.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get a Freepik Refund in 30 Days.

Inside 30 days you have a statutory cancellation right in most jurisdictions (UK CCR, EU Directive 2011/83, US state auto-renewal laws). Outside it, you've still got tools — a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback, the lot. Here's the playbook for Freepik.

The short answer

Freepik offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, but only if you haven't downloaded a single resource or used any AI credits during that billing period. Partial refunds for unused months on an annual plan are not available — cancellation just stops the next renewal. Extra credit packs are refundable within 14 days only if none of the credits have been consumed. Mobile-store subscriptions must be refunded via Apple or Google.

What Freepik actually says

“You can get the full refund within 30 days from the purchase date, if and when, you didn't get to use the service, that is, you haven't downloaded any resource from Freepik.com or from Flaticon.com nor consumed any credits.”

What you can claim, by region

Consumer law varies by where you live. The strongest hook for your country is the one to lead with when you contact the company — pick the one that applies and quote it in your email.

United States

Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA)
Dispute any credit-card charge in writing within 60 days.
For US credit-card payments, the FCBA gives you 60 days from the statement date to dispute a Freepik charge in writing. Your card issuer is required to investigate and may withhold the disputed amount during the process.
California ARL refund right
Refund if cancel was blocked or unclear.
If Freepik made it hard to cancel under California ARL, you’re entitled to a refund of charges taken since the obstruction. Multiple class actions (including against Adobe + Hulu) have set the precedent.
FTC enforcement actions
FTC has won refunds against subscription dark-patterns.
The FTC has secured $100M+ in refunds from companies running dark-pattern cancel flows (Amazon Prime, Vonage). Document Freepik’s flow, file at reportfraud.ftc.gov.

United Kingdom

Section 75, Consumer Credit Act
Credit card issuer is jointly liable. £100-£30,000.
For UK credit-card charges between £100 and £30,000, your card issuer is jointly liable with Freepik for any breach. Call your bank, say “Section 75 claim”, send evidence. Usually resolved in 2-4 weeks.
Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
Full refund within the 14-day window.
Inside 14 days of starting any Freepik subscription, you’re entitled to a full refund of any payment taken — no questions, no policy override.
Citizens Advice + Trading Standards
For repeated bad-faith refusals.
Free escalation lane: file with Citizens Advice (08082231133), they pass it to Trading Standards. Slow (8-12 weeks) but creates a paper trail Freepik can’t ignore.

European Union

Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU
14-day withdrawal across all EU member states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw and recover any payment within 14 days of subscription start. Mirrored in local law in every EU country.
ECC-Net cross-border escalation
EU Consumer Centre network mediates against EU sellers.
If Freepik is based in another EU country, your local European Consumer Centre will mediate the dispute for free. List of national contacts at commission.europa.eu.

Worldwide

Card-issuer chargeback
Visa/Mastercard chargeback works everywhere they do.
Open a chargeback for “subscription not cancelled” or “services not as described” — your bank initiates, Freepik has ~45 days to defend. Works regardless of where Freepik is headquartered.
PayPal Buyer Protection
If you paid via PayPal, open a dispute.
PayPal’s Buyer Protection covers “item not as described” — applies to subscription services that didn’t deliver. Resolution typically within 20 days.

Hi Freepik team,

I'm writing to request a refund for my recent Freepik subscription charge.

Under applicable consumer-protection law (the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, EU Directive 2011/83/EU, or US state auto-renewal laws — whichever applies in my jurisdiction), I'm exercising my right to cancel and to recover the payment in full. Please confirm by reply that the cancellation has taken effect and that the refund will be processed to my original payment method.

If your policy allows a pro-rata refund for any unused service, I'd appreciate that being applied here.

Best,
[your name]

Wait 7-14 days, then escalate
If you haven’t heard back in 14 days, see “If they refuse” below — Section 75 is the next stop.

Refund FAQ for Freepik

On the web, click your profile picture → **Plan & billing** → scroll to **Danger zone** → **Cancel a subscription** → **Cancel subscription**, then follow the confirmation steps. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you've already paid for and you won't be charged again. If you subscribed via the iOS App Store or Google Play, you must cancel in those stores instead — Freepik can't cancel mobile-store subscriptions.
