Procreate is sold as a one-time App Store purchase, so the app itself has no subscription to cancel. If you're being billed, the charge is almost certainly a different app's subscription, and you can cancel it in Settings > your name > Subscriptions on iPhone or iPad. If what you actually want gone is a Procreate Folio account, there's no self-serve delete button, and you need to ask Procreate Support to remove it.

Does Procreate Have a Subscription?

Procreate, Procreate Pocket, and Procreate Dreams are sold as one-time purchases on the App Store. That's why searching for a "cancel" button inside the app turns up nothing. There's no recurring plan attached to the app.

That leaves three likely explanations when you see a recurring charge:

• A third-party app is billing you. Brush packs, tutorial platforms, reference libraries, and asset marketplaces often sell subscriptions through the App Store, and they can sit next to Procreate on your home screen without any visible link.
• A different Apple subscription is on the same account. iCloud+, Apple One, or a streaming service can easily be mistaken for something creative-related.
• A family member's or older Apple Account is paying. If you've changed Apple Accounts or share a device, the subscription may live under an account you're not signed into.

Before cancelling anything, open the charge on your bank statement or Apple receipt email and read the name of the actual app or service. Apple receipts list the app and the billing period, which settles the question fast.

How to Cancel an Apple-Billed Subscription

Any subscription purchased through the App Store, including ones for apps you use alongside Procreate, is managed through your Apple Account. The steps depend on your device.

On iPhone or iPad

Most Procreate users are on an iPad, so this is the main route:

1. Open Settings and tap your name.
2. Tap Subscriptions.
3. Tap the subscription you want to stop.
4. Tap Cancel Subscription. You may need to scroll down to find it.

If there's no Cancel button, or you see an expiration message in red text, the subscription is already cancelled and will simply run out at the end of the period you've paid for.

On a Mac

Plenty of motion and VFX artists run a Mac next to an iPad, so you can do it there too:

1. Open the App Store and click your name at the bottom of the sidebar. If you're signed out, use the Sign In button.
2. Click your name again on the account page. You may be asked to sign in.
3. Click Subscriptions.
4. Select the subscription, then click Cancel Subscription.

The same rule applies: no Cancel button, or a red expiration notice, means it's already cancelled.

On Windows or Android

Procreate doesn't run on Windows, but your Apple Account can still be managed from a Windows workstation. Apple's own guidance is to use the Apple Music app or Apple TV app for Windows:

1. Open the Apple Music or Apple TV app.
2. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar and choose View My Account, signing in if asked.
3. In the Settings section, click Manage next to Subscriptions.
4. Click Edit beside the subscription, then Cancel Subscription.

Older iTunes for Windows installs use Account > View My Account, then the same Manage > Edit > Cancel Subscription path.

On Android, a subscription billed by Apple can be cancelled by signing in at account.apple.com and following the on-screen instructions. If you subscribed to Apple Music or Apple TV on Android and were billed through Google Play, cancel it in the Google Play app instead.

If You Can't Find the Subscription

A missing subscription is the most common snag, and it usually comes down to one of these:

• You're signed into the wrong Apple Account. Check any other Apple Accounts you've used, especially an old personal account versus a studio or work one.
• It isn't billed by Apple. If the charge came from the developer's own website, Google Play, or a payment processor like PayPal or Stripe, Apple's Subscriptions list won't show it. Cancel through that service's account page.
• It's already cancelled. If there's no Cancel button or you see an expiration message in red text, the subscription is already cancelled.
• Another family member may own it. The subscription may sit under a family member's Apple Account, so check with them.

If the receipt names the app and you still can't locate it, contact that app's developer. Apple's support pages cover the Apple-billed cases, but developers handle their own web-billed plans.

What Happens After You Cancel

Cancelling stops renewal. It generally doesn't end access immediately, so you keep the features until the period you've already paid for runs out. Two practical habits help:

• Cancel a day or two before renewal. Don't wait until the renewal date, since time zones and processing can bite you.
• Export your work first. If the subscription covered cloud storage, an asset library, or a tool that holds your files, pull your projects out before the access window closes.

Refunds are a separate process from cancellation. Cancelling doesn't automatically return money for a charge that has already gone through, and refund requests for App Store purchases are handled through Apple.

How to Delete a Procreate Folio Account

Procreate Folio is the other reason people search for "cancel." What you want there is account deletion, not cancellation.

At the time of writing, Procreate's own support threads make the situation clear: there's no delete option in account settings or account management. Procreate staff direct users to contact the Support team, who can remove the account on request.

To do it:

1. Go to Procreate's Help and Support area and use the support request form or banner, or email the Support team.
2. Send the request from, or clearly name, the email address tied to the Folio account.
3. State that you want the account permanently deleted, not just deactivated.
4. Keep the confirmation so you have a record.

Procreate staff have indicated a self-serve option may come as Folio improves, but for now the request goes through Support. If you created an account by mistake, for example because you expected a desktop or Windows version, the process is the same.

A Folio deletion request is separate from cancelling anything billed through Apple, which you manage in your Apple Account.

A Quick Checklist Before You Close Out

If you're cleaning up creative-tool spending, run through this once:

1. Open your Apple Subscriptions list and read every entry, including ones for apps you rarely use.
2. Match each active subscription to a real project need.
3. Cancel anything idle, and note renewal dates for the rest.
4. Check your email for receipts from non-Apple billing, such as asset sites, plugin vendors, and cloud storage.
5. Request Folio deletion through Support if you no longer want that account.

For freelancers and small studios, this audit tends to surface duplicate seats and forgotten trials faster than any other step.

Where Styleframe Fits If You Use Procreate for Concepts

Many motion designers and animators use Procreate for what it does best: loose boards, style frames, paint-over passes, and character or environment concepts. The question after that is how to carry the look into moving footage without redrawing every frame.

Styleframe is an AI video and motion tool built for artists who want direction over the result instead of a one-click black box. You can bring in a Procreate illustration and use it as a reference or keyframe, then drive the output with your own images, clips, and keyframes:

• Frames-to-Video animates between keyframes you supply, so you decide where the motion starts and lands.
• Restyle and Ink-and-Paint apply a reference-driven look to footage, which suits a hand-painted style frame you want carried across a shot.
• 2D-to-3D and Turntable help you explore a character or object from other angles.
• Remove Background and 4K Upscale handle cleanup and delivery-resolution output.

Iteration is non-destructive, so you can revisit a generation without losing earlier ones, and the output is production-ready 4K. It also fits the pipeline you already have. Styleframe exports image sequences that drop into After Effects or Nuke for compositing, and an After Effects plugin is on the way. Your Procreate art stays the creative source, and your comp stays where it is.

None of this replaces Procreate, and it doesn't touch your subscriptions. It's simply a way to extend illustrated concepts into motion while keeping control.
