Deleting Your Account

How to delete your PixelUnion account and what happens to your data

Deleting Your Account

If you’ve decided to delete your PixelUnion account, this guide explains the process and what happens to your data.

Before You Delete

Before requesting account deletion, please consider:

1. Download Your Data First

Once your account is deleted, your photos and videos cannot be recovered. We strongly recommend downloading your data before deletion.

We recommend using Immich Go for downloading all your photos and videos. This tool allows you to download your entire library efficiently while preserving metadata, dates, and album structures. See our guide on downloading your photos and videos with Immich Go for detailed instructions.

Alternatively, you can:

  1. Log in to your PixelUnion domain
  2. Select the photos and videos you want to keep
  3. Click Download to save them to your device

For large collections, using Immich Go is the most efficient method.

2. Check Shared Albums

If you’ve shared albums with others:

  • Shared albums you own will be deleted
  • Other users will lose access to these albums
  • Consider transferring ownership or notifying shared users

3. Cancel Active Subscriptions

If you have an active paid subscription, make sure to cancel it to avoid future charges.

How to Cancel Your Account

Want to cancel your PixelUnion account? You can do this easily via your own domain:

  1. Log in to your PixelUnion domain.
  2. Click Billing in the top right.
  3. Follow the instructions to cancel your account or subscription.

After cancellation, no future charges will be made. Your account and data remain available until the end of the current subscription period.
