We understand — sometimes canceling is the best option. Here are some common reasons why people decide to cancel:
Many users find Adobe plans expensive compared to alternatives.
People cancel when they realize they don't use the software enough to justify the monthly fee.
Some users move to cheaper or simpler tools like Canva, Affinity, or free editing software.

Visit Adobe Account Page and log in with your Adobe credentials.
On your account dashboard, click "Plans" or "Manage plan" under the "Plans and Payment" section.
Find the plan you want to cancel (e.g., Creative Cloud, Adobe Acrobat) and click on it.
Follow the prompts to confirm cancellation and select your reason for leaving
Open the Adobe Creative Cloud app or any other Adobe app that you used to subscribe.
Tap the profile icon in the top left corner (or the gear icon for settings).

Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel plan" and follow the on-screen instructions to confirm your cancellation.

Visit Adobe Sign-In and click on "Trouble signing in?".
Enter the email address associated with your Adobe account and click "Continue". Adobe will send a password reset link to your email. Follow the instructions to reset your password.
If you don’t remember your email, you can enter your Adobe ID username instead (if you have one).
Click on the password reset link sent to your email and choose a new password.
Please keep an eye on the following after you’ve canceled your subscription:
You will lose access to Adobe Premium features (such as Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) after your billing cycle ends. If you’re on a Creative Cloud subscription, your apps will stop working once your subscription expires.
Your files and documents stored in Adobe Cloud will remain accessible for 30 days after cancellation. After 30 days, Adobe may delete these files, so it’s essential to download them before then.
You can re-subscribe at any time, and your Adobe account will be reactivated with your previous files intact (if within the 30-day window).
