1Upload your PSD files and wait for the preview to appear.
2Drag out the region you want to keep, or lock the selection to 1:1, 4:3 or 16:9 and drag freely inside that ratio.
3Confirm the crop — the same rectangle is applied to every file you uploaded, which is how a set ends up genuinely consistent.
4Download the cropped PSD file, with everything outside the frame discarded.
Crop PSD FAQ
How does Crop PSD select and cut the area?
+
Concretely, the canvas bounds are changed and every layer is cropped with it, so the stack survives; layer content outside the new canvas is discarded rather than hidden, which is the difference between a crop and a mask. You drag the region you want directly on the preview, or type exact pixel coordinates if you already know them.
Can I crop to a fixed aspect ratio?
+
Yes. Lock the selection to 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or any custom ratio and drag freely inside that constraint — which is how you get a set of images that all fit the same layout slot without measuring anything.
Does my source format change how a crop behaves?
+
It can. PSD is Photoshop native — layers, masks, adjustment layers and blend modes stay live and editable, which no flat image format can represent. That decides whether the crop is a pure pixel operation or whether the file has to be rebuilt around it.
Anything specific to PSD worth knowing before I crop?
+
Yes — layers, masks and adjustment layers are live objects rather than pixels, so a tool either preserves them or composites them down — there is no middle option. That is the sort of detail that only shows up after you have overwritten the original.
What is the most common mistake when cropping PSD files?
+
Cropping before resizing. Crop first from the full-resolution original, then resize the result — doing it the other way round means the region you keep has already lost detail it did not need to lose.
Can I crop several files to the same region at once?
+
Yes, and that is the case worth doing here rather than in an editor: the same rectangle is applied across the batch, which is how a set of product shots ends up genuinely consistent instead of approximately consistent.
What can I upload to Crop PSD?
+
Photoshop PSD documents, including ones with layer groups, layer masks, adjustment layers and blend modes. You do not need a Photoshop licence to work with them here.
Is there a file size limit on Crop PSD?
+
Yes: free accounts process images up to 25 MB each, and layered documents reach that faster than anything else in the image family because every layer stores its own pixel data. A working PSD with dozens of layers can exceed that easily; flattening a copy in Photoshop first, or converting to TIFF, is the usual way around it.
Will Crop PSD lower the quality of my PSD files?
+
Pixel data in a PSD is stored losslessly, so nothing degrades. The real question is structural: whether the result keeps the layer stack or arrives as a finished composite. Anything that has to produce a flat image applies blend modes, masks and opacity exactly as Photoshop previews them.
Can I run Crop PSD on several PSD files at once?
+
Yes, though layered documents are the heaviest thing in the image family to decode, so a batch of large PSDs takes noticeably longer per file than the equivalent JPGs.
Do layers, masks and text stay editable?
+
Only if the output is itself a layered format. A flat image format cannot represent a live layer, an editable text object or an adjustment layer, so those are baked into the result. Keep your original PSD — the output is a deliverable, not a replacement master.
Does Crop PSD cost anything?
+
No. Crop PSD is free and needs neither an account nor an Adobe subscription. Your PSD is deleted from the workers shortly after the job completes.
