  • Extend: in the last four days “+7 days free” appears once. The total is 21 days at most.
  • Shown at the top of the dashboard: the days left. Yellow from seven days, red from three.
  • Reminder: you get an email three days before the end.

When the trial ends

Without a plan the shop goes offline and uploads are blocked. Your photos, orders and settings are kept. Choose a plan and everything is back at once.

Change your plan

Click Upgrade to … or Switch to … in the plan you want. Before you confirm, Pixalo shows what changes and what you pay today.

  • More storage applies at once. You only pay the difference until the end of the current period. Unused time is credited.
  • A smaller plan applies from the next billing date. Until then you keep your current plan. The status area shows the planned change, and Cancel switch takes it back.
  • Too much in use: if you use more storage than the smaller plan has, the switch is blocked. Delete old orders or media first.
