# Cancelling Your Subscription

You can cancel your Ideogram subscription at any time from the billing portal. Cancelling stops future renewal charges — it does not end your current paid period early.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Cancel at least 5 days before your renewal date.** Per Ideogram's [Terms of Service](https://ideogram.ai/legal/tos), cancellations must be made five (5) days before the subscription renewal date. If you cancel closer to the renewal date, the next charge may still be processed.
{% endhint %}

## How to cancel

1. Make sure you are signed in to the account that holds the subscription. If you don't see a paid plan on your account, check whether you subscribed under a different sign-in method or email — see [Troubleshooting Billing Issues](/plans-and-pricing/billing-and-subscriptions/troubleshooting-billing-issues.md).
2. Click your profile picture and select **Manage plan**. This opens the Plans and pricing page.
3. Click **Manage plan ↗** in the Current plan card. This opens the billing portal.
4. In the billing portal, click **Cancel subscription** next to your current subscription.

5. Review the confirmation page — it shows the date your access ends — and click **Cancel subscription** to confirm.

## What happens after you cancel

* You keep your plan benefits until the end of the period you have already paid for. Payments are non-refundable and there are no credits for partially used periods — see [Refunds](/plans-and-pricing/billing-and-subscriptions/refunds.md).
* When the paid period ends, your account moves to the free plan.
* Purchased top-up credits stay usable after your subscription ends, until they expire a year from purchase. See [Top-Up Credits](/plans-and-pricing/available-plans.md#top-up-credits).
* Existing private images remain private. Creating new private images may require an eligible paid plan — see [Private Generations](/using-ideogram/generation-settings/private-generations.md).

## Monthly and annual plans

The cancellation steps are the same for monthly and annual billing. In both cases, cancelling stops the next renewal; your access continues until the end of the current billing period. Annual subscribers keep access until the end of the prepaid year.

## Confirming your cancellation

After cancelling, the billing portal shows a **Cancels** badge on your subscription and the date your service ends. If you don't see this, the cancellation did not complete — try again or contact <support@ideogram.ai> from the email address your Ideogram account is registered under.

## Changed your mind?

As long as your paid period hasn't ended, you can undo a cancellation:

1. Open the billing portal again and click **Don't cancel subscription**.
2. On the **Renew your subscription** page, click **Renew subscription**. Your plan will no longer be cancelled and renews on your usual date.
