Can I get a refund from Images after cancelling?

Yes, in two main cases: (1) inside a statutory cooling-off window from when you first subscribed (14 days in the UK and EU; US auto-renewal laws vary by state), and (2) if you can show a service breach (downtime, undelivered feature, mis-advertised plan). Outside those, Images's policy applies, sometimes pro-rata, sometimes nothing. A card-issuer chargeback remains the backstop everywhere.

What if they ignore my refund request?

Wait 14 days from the first email. If no reply, dispute the charge with your card issuer, "services not provided" and "subscription not cancelled" are valid chargeback reason codes on every major card network, and your bank pursues it, not you. The regional rights section above lists the stronger local escalation routes where they exist.

Will my account be deleted if I get a refund?

No, a refund and an account closure are separate. The refund returns the money for the disputed charge; your account stays live (often downgraded to a free tier). If you also want the account deleted, request that explicitly in the same email so it's handled in one round.

Images refunds are per-order, here's what their policy actually says, and how to escalate if they ignore the request.

The short answer

Images.net's own refund terms were not retrievable from the scraped homepage or pricing page, so treat any refund as discretionary rather than guaranteed. Two charge types exist and must be handled separately: the small one-off fee for a single upscale/conversion, and the recurring monthly subscription (reported at 39.95 EUR/CHF and around £29) that attaches to the same card afterwards. Reviewers report the recurring charge is the disputed one, one user asked for it back on the basis they never knowingly consented and was refused. Cancelling in-account stops future cycles but does not automatically refund a charge already taken, so pair the cancellation with a written refund request and, if refused, a card chargeback.

Images’s refund policy

Images’s own refund policy isn’t prominently documented. That doesn’t mean you have no rights, most jurisdictions give you a statutory cancel-and-refund window on new subscriptions (14 days in the UK / EU, US auto-renewal protections vary by state). See “What you can claim, by region” below for the angle that applies where you live.

How long does a Images refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Refund FAQ for Images

Images typically processes refunds within 7-14 working days once approved, back to the original payment method. Card refunds show up faster than bank-transfer refunds. If you don't see it in 14 days, follow up by reply on the same email thread, your card issuer can also confirm whether the funds have been requested back.
