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
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.
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.
Is there a file size limit on Crop PSD?
+
Yes: free accounts process images up to 5 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.
Why does a PNG site host Crop PSD?
+
PNG.to is built around the format you use when you cannot afford to lose a pixel: lossless, alpha-capable, and the correct answer for screenshots, logos, line art and anything with hard edges. Image work is rarely one step: people arrive to change a format and leave needing the picture a different size, a different weight or a different shape. Running Crop PSD on the same upload pipeline, the same size caps and the same account is the whole reason it is here rather than on a fourth tab.
What should I do with the result once Crop PSD is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves images to and from PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and SVG — which is the step where the decision about transparency actually gets made. That is the step most people actually came for, and doing it after Crop PSD rather than before it means the conversion works from the file you finally settled on.
Is Crop PSD here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same libraries, the same workers, the same limits. What differs is the advice, and the advice here starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: there is no quality slider to get wrong — a PNG round-trips bit-exactly, so the only thing edits cost you is file size. A PNG site is opinionated about where PNG is the right destination and where it is not, and that judgement is worth more than the button.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account, and nothing is kept: uploads are deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, and nothing you process is indexed, listed or used for anything else. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
