I had a pro account I discontinued for 6 months. Decided to renew it. When I did, somehow, it created a second account with a second user name, workspace, etc. But it has all my previous projects still in it. Now I have 2 accounts with the same projects -- one is a free account and one is pro. How do I fix it?
Hi,
CapCut sometimes auto-creates a second account if you log in with a different method than before (email vs. phone vs. Apple ID vs. Google, etc.). That’s why you’re seeing two accounts:
-
Account A (old one) → previously Pro, now free.
-
Account B (new one) → Pro subscription active, but looks like a fresh workspace, yet you still see projects (likely synced because CapCut cloud ties them to device cache as well).
Here’s how you can fix it:
1. Confirm which login belongs to your real Pro subscription
-
Go to Profile > Settings > Manage Account in CapCut.
-
Check under Subscriptions which account actually has the Pro plan linked.
-
Note the login method (Apple, Google, TikTok, email, etc.).
2. Make sure both accounts are identified
-
Log out of both.
-
Log back in one at a time using the different login methods you might have used.
-
Write down which one is Free and which one is Pro.
3. Choose the one you want to keep
-
If you want to keep Pro:
-
Stick with the login that shows your subscription.
-
Reimport or sync your projects if some are missing (many will still be in CapCut Cloud, check under Cloud Backup in settings).
-
-
If you want to keep the old account (where you started):
-
Cancel the Pro subscription on the “new” account.
-
Resubscribe on your old account with the correct login.
-
4. Contact CapCut support to merge (best option)
CapCut does not let you merge accounts inside the app. But if you contact CapCut Support (via app: Profile → Settings → Feedback & Help → Report a problem or by writing an email to [email protected]), explain:
I accidentally created a second account while renewing Pro. My subscription is under [Account B], but I need it moved to [Account A] where my projects are.
They can usually transfer your subscription to the correct account, though it might take a few days.
In short:
-
Double-check which login has Pro.
-
Use only that login going forward.
-
If your projects don’t line up perfectly, contact CapCut support and ask them to transfer your subscription to the correct account.
