Kapwing has a slick video editor that’s great for creators who want to work online without downloading software. It’s fast, collaborative, and handles a bunch of formats. But if you're reading this, chances are you’re either simplifying your stack, switching tools, or just not vibing with Kapwing anymore. All valid reasons.
Maybe you're trading it for something more powerful or time-saving (like Submagic, hint hint). Either way, let me show you how to cancel your Kapwing subscription without breaking a sweat.
Step-by-step: How to cancel your Kapwing subscription
It’s a few clicks—hidden clicks—but nothing wild. Let’s go.
1. Head to Kapwing.com and log in
Go to Kapwing.com. If you’re not logged in, do that first. You should be automatically taken to the editor.
2. Click the gear icon in the top right ⚙️
It’s small. And if you’re like me, you might click the wrong one the first time. Look for the gear icon among the top-right cluster of icons, and click it. That’s your settings.
3. Navigate to the “Billing” tab
You’re now in settings. Across the top, you’ll see some tabs. “Billing” is the last one. Click it.
4. Scroll down to the bottom
There’s a ton of info here—don’t get distracted. Scroll all the way down until you see the "Cancel Subscription" sub-heading.
If you're on desktop, the red “Cancel subscription” button will be on the right. On mobile or smaller screens, it might appear below the heading.
5. Click that cancel button
This will trigger a modal window telling you what you’ll lose—reduced features, storage limits, and other fine print.
Click “Continue to Cancel.”
6. Choose your cancellation reason
Another modal will pop up asking why you’re canceling. Pick what applies and hit “Continue to Cancel” again.
7. One final confirmation screen
Kapwing will give you a last chance to back out. If you’re sure, click “Continue.”
Boom—you’ve canceled.
8. Ignore the reactivation pitch
Kapwing likes to keep the breakup open-ended. Game appreciates game. You’ll get a final modal offering to reactivate anytime. Just close it by clicking the “X” in the top right.
Done and done.
So, what now?
You’ve officially left Kapwing. If you’re looking for a faster, smoother ride that’s actually built for virality—Submagic might just be what you’re after.
You can auto-subtitle your content with scary good accuracy, instantly generate magic clips, layer in zoom effects, drop in AI b-roll, and add sound effects that make your edits pop. All in like… 3 clicks.
