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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Why does a PDF site host Crop PSD?
+
PDF.to exists because PDF is where documents go to be shared and the worst place to keep them while they are still being worked on, so nearly every job here is about getting something into or out of that state deliberately. A document rarely arrives in the state it needs to leave in: it is too big, in the wrong order, locked, or a scan with no text in it. Crop PSD sits on the same upload and the same account as the conversions because those jobs turn up together.
What should I do with the result once Crop PSD is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves documents between PDF, Word, images, plain text and eBook formats in either direction, so whatever comes out of a tool here has somewhere to go next without a second upload. Running that after Crop PSD rather than before keeps the document structure intact through the step that is most likely to flatten it.
Is Crop PSD here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same document toolchain, the same workers, the same limits. What a PDF site adds is a view on when a file should stay a document and when it genuinely wants to become something else, which is the decision most tools quietly make for you. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: a PDF is an object graph, not a page image, so text stays selectable and vectors stay sharp no matter what happens to the raster content inside it.
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, nothing is read and nothing is indexed. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
