I’ve found how to get 21 days of Photoshop free trial instead of 7

Key takeaways

  • The free trial lasts 7 days, after which you have an additional 14 days to request a full refund (no questions asked).
  • I tested this method, and it works.
  • You can start by going to the Photoshop trial page or learn more about the Photoshop free trial first.

Years ago, Adobe shortened the free trials for all its memberships from 30 days to just 7 days (for businesses and teams, the free trials last 14 days).

Although Adobe’s free trials still technically last only 7 days, you can extend the free period by using their refund policy.

Photoshop refund timeline

Once you reach the end of those first 7 days, you will be billed unless you cancel. However, Adobe has an excellent refund policy for software bought directly from them—all subscriptions are 100% fully refundable if canceled within 14 days of initial purchase for any reason. This extended your free trial from just 7 days to 21 days.

Adobe clearly states, “Within the first 14 days of your initial purchase, there’s no cancellation fee, you get a full refund, and your account will switch to a free membership.” You just have to make sure you get the plan from Adobe and not a retailer.

You can easily ask for a refund using your Adobe Dashboard. From there, click your profile image in the top right corner and select Manage account. Find your Photoshop free trial plan and click Manage plan. Follow the steps that pop up on your screen.

[Disclaimer: Although this method is 100% legal and within Adobe policies, they request that you don’t use this approach if you aren’t serious about continuing with your plan.]
