Deleting your account

You can delete your Keepr account from within the app. It's confirmed with a six-digit code emailed to your address, and it removes your account along with your photos, albums, posts, comments, messages, memberships, invitations and share links, and cancels any subscription. It cannot be undone, so export a copy of anything you want to keep before starting.

Deleting your account removes it and everything in it, permanently. This page is about doing it deliberately rather than discovering something afterwards.

Export first#

Do this before anything else. Deletion can't be undone, and once it's done there's nothing to retrieve.

Export everything prepares a full copy — your photos and videos plus your account information — and emails you a link, usually within half an hour. It costs nothing and works on every plan.

Take the twenty minutes. People who regret deleting an account almost never regret having a copy.

How it works#

You start it from within the app, and Keepr emails a six-digit code to your account address to confirm it's really you.

The code lasts 15 minutes, and you get five attempts before it's invalidated and you need a fresh one. There's no password to re-type — the emailed code is what proves it's you.

What's removed#

Your account, and the things attached to it:

  • Your photos and videos, and your albums
  • Your posts, comments and likes
  • Your messages
  • Your saved items and notifications
  • Your circle and Family Hub memberships
  • Invitations you sent, and any share links you created

Any active subscription is cancelled, and your sign-in is removed — so the email address is free to start a fresh account with later if you ever want to.

It's permanent#

There's no grace period and no recovery window. When it's done, it's done.

Sort out shared spaces first#

Two situations to handle before you delete, because they involve other people:

If you're a Family Hub's billing admin, hand billing to another admin or close the hub first. A hub whose payer has vanished is a problem for everyone still in it. See Admins and members.

If your photos are part of a family's shared archive, consider whether they should stay with the family rather than go with you. You can give photos to someone so they remain in the hub under their ownership — a kinder outcome than a shared album losing years of pictures.

If you only want to stop paying#

Deleting your account isn't the way to do that. Moving to the free plan keeps your library and stops the payments; if you're over the free limit you'd become read-only rather than lose anything. See If a payment fails.

Similarly, if the goal is to stop emails, each stream has its own unsubscribe — see What Keepr records about you.

If you'd rather talk to someone#

If you're leaving because something went wrong, support would genuinely rather hear about it than lose you quietly. That isn't an obstacle in the way of deleting — the option stays exactly where it is.

Common questions

Can I undo it?
No. Account deletion is permanent. Export anything you want to keep first.
Why do I need a code?
Because there's no password to re-enter, a one-time code emailed to your address confirms it's really you. It lasts 15 minutes.
Does my subscription stop?
Yes. Any active subscription is cancelled as part of deletion.
Can I use the same email again later?
Yes. Your sign-in is removed, so the address is free to start a fresh account with.
What about photos I added to a family hub?
Sort out shared spaces before deleting — if you're a hub's billing admin, hand that over or close the hub first.
