How to cancel Pixiv premium in singapore: your rights and step-by-step guide
Why you might want to cancel Pixiv premium
Pixiv is a Japanese creative community where artists, illustrators, manga creators and fans share their work. The platform offers a free tier, but Pixiv Premium unlocks advanced search filters, faster browsing and exclusive content feeds that appeal to serious collectors and creators.
If you have signed up for Premium but find you are not using the extra features, or your circumstances have changed, you have every right to cancel. At Tocancel, we help thousands of Singaporean consumers take control of their subscriptions every month, and we know that Pixiv cancellation is one of the clearer processes once you understand the exact steps involved.
When to cancel Pixiv premium
Cancel if the enhanced search and curation features do not match how you use the platform. You might realise that free browsing meets your needs, or that your budget no longer allows for paid subscriptions. Your free account remains active after cancellation, so you lose only the Premium layer, not your artwork, followers or history.
What happens to your account after cancellation
Once you cancel Pixiv Premium, your subscription stops at the end of your current billing cycle. You retain full access to your free account, all your uploads and your follower list. You can resubscribe to Premium at any time if you change your mind. This means cancellation is reversible, not permanent.
Your consumer rights in singapore for digital subscriptions
Singapore law treats digital subscriptions differently to physical goods, and understanding your legal position helps you make informed decisions about cancellation.
What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act covers
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) is Singapore's main law protecting consumers from unfair trading practices. However, the CPFTA does not grant you an automatic cooling-off period for digital subscriptions like Pixiv Premium. The Act provides a 5 working day cancellation right only for direct sales to your home and timeshare contracts, which excludes online digital services.
This means that once you purchase access to Pixiv Premium, Singapore law generally treats the transaction as complete. You cannot simply change your mind within a few days and demand a refund unless Pixiv has failed to deliver what was promised or has breached the contract terms.
Your legal position if Pixiv breaches service
If Pixiv Premium fails to deliver the features you paid for, or if your account is wrongfully suspended or restricted, you have grounds to request a refund or file a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). Document any service failures and contact Pixiv's support team with evidence before escalating to CASE. At Tocancel, we recommend keeping screenshots or written records of any issues you encounter.
Your legal position is stronger when you can prove the service did not perform as advertised, so gather evidence before you cancel or escalate.
How to cancel Pixiv premium via the website
If you subscribed to Pixiv Premium through the website using a credit card or PayPal, you cancel through your account settings. This is the most direct method for desktop users.
Step-by-step web cancellation
- Sign in to your Pixiv account at pixiv.net
- Enter your registered email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your login, use the password recovery link on the sign-in page.
- Navigate to your account settings menu
- Look for the profile icon or gear icon in the top-right corner of the website.
- Select "Account settings" or "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Locate the Pixiv Premium subscription section
- Scroll to find "Pixiv Premium membership" or "Edit Pixiv Premium information".
- You will see your current billing cycle and next renewal date displayed here.
- Select the cancellation button or link
- Click "Cancel membership" or similar option.
- Pixiv may offer a discount to retain your subscription; you can ignore this offer.
- Confirm your cancellation
- Read the confirmation message carefully.
- Click the final confirmation button to complete the cancellation.
- Check your confirmation email
- Pixiv sends a confirmation email to your registered address.
- Keep this email as proof of cancellation for your records.
Once you confirm cancellation, your Premium membership ends at the close of your current billing cycle, not immediately. This means you retain Premium access until your renewal date.
What to do if you cannot find the cancellation link
If the cancellation option is not visible in your account settings, contact Pixiv support directly through the website. Use the help or support section to submit a cancellation request in writing. Keep a copy of your message and Pixiv's response. At Tocancel, we have found that direct contact with support ensures you have documented proof of your cancellation request if any dispute arises later.
How to cancel Pixiv premium via app store subscriptions
If you subscribed to Pixiv Premium through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, you must cancel through that app store, not through Pixiv's website. This is because the app store controls your payment method and billing cycle, not Pixiv directly.
Cancelling via apple app store (iOS)
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
- Scroll down and tap "Subscriptions".
- You will see a list of all your active subscriptions.
- Find Pixiv Premium in your subscriptions list
- Tap on "Pixiv" to open the subscription details.
- Select "Cancel subscription" or "Edit"
- Tap the red "Cancel" option if it appears.
- Confirm your cancellation on the next screen.
- Verify the cancellation
- You will see a message confirming your subscription has been cancelled.
- Check your email for an Apple receipt confirmation.
Cancelling via google play store (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions"
- Tap "Subscriptions" from the menu options.
- Find Pixiv Premium in your subscriptions
- Tap on "Pixiv" to open the subscription page.
- Select "Cancel subscription"
- Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation.
- Google Play will ask why you are cancelling; you can skip this question.
- Confirm the cancellation
- You will receive a confirmation message on screen and via email.
App store cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period. You retain Premium access until that date arrives, even though your subscription is marked as cancelled.
Understanding your refund rights for Pixiv premium
Refunds for digital subscriptions in Singapore are not automatic, and Pixiv is not legally obligated to refund you for unused time unless specific conditions are met.
When Pixiv might offer a refund
Pixiv may refund your subscription if the service failed to deliver Premium features you paid for, or if you can demonstrate that you cancelled before your first use. Some payment processors, including Apple and Google, have their own refund policies that may allow refunds within a set period if you request them directly from the app store.
If you paid via credit card through Pixiv's website, your credit card company may offer chargeback protection if Pixiv fails to deliver the promised service. However, chargebacks are a last resort and require documented evidence of non-delivery or fraud.
How to request a refund from Pixiv
Contact Pixiv's support team directly and explain your reason for requesting a refund. Use the help section on the Pixiv website or send an email to their support address. Explain clearly what went wrong, whether it is a service failure, billing error or other issue. Keep copies of all emails and responses. At Tocancel, we advise you to set a deadline in your request: ask for a response within 14 days and explain what action you will take if Pixiv does not respond.
Your refund request is strongest when you can provide evidence of service failure or billing error. A simple change of mind is unlikely to result in a refund unless you cancelled within the first 24 hours of purchase and never accessed Premium features.
Pricing and subscription details for Pixiv premium
Understanding what you pay and what you receive helps you decide whether to cancel or continue.
| Subscription tier | Monthly cost (SGD) | Key features | Billing cycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Pixiv account | $0 | Basic browsing, uploads, follows | N/A |
| Pixiv Premium | $8.50 | Advanced search, faster load, curated feeds | Monthly auto-renewal |
| Pixiv Premium (annual) | $76.50 per year | Same as monthly, paid upfront | Annual auto-renewal |
Note: Exchange rates and SGD pricing may vary depending on your payment method and location. These figures are approximate and reflect typical pricing for Singapore users as of 2026. Check your latest invoice for exact charges.
What happens after you cancel Pixiv premium
Cancellation is often followed by uncertainty, but the process is straightforward once you know what to expect.
Your access timeline after cancellation
After you cancel, your Premium membership continues until the end of your current billing cycle. If your next renewal date is 15 February, you retain all Premium features until 14 February at 23:59. On 15 February, your account automatically reverts to free Pixiv access.
This means you do not lose access immediately; you keep your Premium features for the remainder of your paid period. This is important because it protects your ability to use the service you paid for.
How to reactivate Pixiv premium later
You can resubscribe to Pixiv Premium at any time after cancellation. Simply log in to your account, navigate to the Premium subscription section and select the option to renew or resubscribe. Your account history, uploads and followers remain intact even after your Premium subscription ends, so returning is seamless.
Checking your account after cancellation
Log in to your Pixiv account a few days after your cancellation to confirm that your Premium features have been removed and your account has reverted to free status. You should no longer see the "Premium member" badge or access to Premium-only tools. If Premium features remain active after your billing cycle has ended, contact Pixiv support immediately.
Common mistakes when cancelling Pixiv premium
Many consumers make cancellation harder than it needs to be. You are not alone if you have felt confused or worried about losing your account, but these mistakes are easy to avoid.
Cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed via the app store, cancelling through the Pixiv website does not work. Your payment method is controlled by Apple or Google, so you must cancel through the app store instead. Many users cancel on the website but remain charged because they forgot about the app store subscription. Check which platform you used to subscribe and cancel through that same platform.
Deleting your account instead of cancelling your subscription
Cancelling your subscription and deleting your account are two separate actions. Cancelling stops your Premium charges but keeps your account, artwork and followers intact. Deleting your account removes everything permanently and cannot be reversed. If you only want to stop paying for Premium, cancel the subscription; do not delete your account unless you are certain you will never return to Pixiv.
Failing to confirm your cancellation in writing
Always save proof of your cancellation. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page and save the confirmation email from Pixiv. If you cancel via app store, save that confirmation as well. This protects you if Pixiv charges you after you cancel or if you need to dispute the charge with your bank. At Tocancel, we have helped many users resolve billing disputes because they had clear written proof of cancellation.

If Pixiv continues to charge you after cancellation
If you cancel Pixiv Premium but continue to receive charges on your credit card or app store account, act quickly.
Step 1: verify your cancellation status
Log in to your Pixiv account and check whether your Premium membership is still active. Navigate to your account settings and confirm that the Premium section no longer shows an active subscription. If the website shows Premium is cancelled but you are still being charged, contact Pixiv support immediately with screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and your latest charge.
Step 2: contact Pixiv support with evidence
Email Pixiv's support team with your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots and proof of the unwanted charge. Request a refund for charges that occurred after your cancellation date. Give Pixiv 14 days to respond. Keep a copy of your email and record the date you sent it. At Tocancel, we recommend sending this email from the email address registered to your Pixiv account so there is no dispute about your identity.
Step 3: escalate to your payment provider or app store
If Pixiv does not respond or refuses to refund you, contact your credit card company or app store directly. Request a chargeback or refund for the unwanted charges. Provide your credit card company or app store with your cancellation confirmation and Pixiv's response (or lack of response). Most credit card companies and app stores will investigate billing disputes and refund you if you can prove you cancelled but were still charged.
Step 4: file a complaint with CASE if needed
If your credit card company or app store does not resolve the issue, file a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). Provide CASE with all your evidence: cancellation confirmation, charges after the cancellation date, your correspondence with Pixiv and proof that your payment provider did not help. CASE can mediate between you and Pixiv and may be able to secure a refund on your behalf.
Contact information for Pixiv cancellation and support
If you need to contact Pixiv directly for cancellation assistance or to dispute charges, use these official channels.

Visit the Pixiv help centre at the official Pixiv website and use the contact form under "Support" or "Help".

Final summary: taking action to cancel Pixiv premium
