Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 8:47 pm

There is no one-click solution to select all layers in Photoshop, but there are a few different methods that can be used to achieve the same result.

To select all layers at once, the first method is to use the Select All Layers command from the Layer menu. This will select all visible and hidden layers in the document. If there are any locked or hidden layers, they will not be selected.

Another method is to use the Select All Layers command from the Edit menu. This will also select all visible and hidden layers in the document, but will not include any locked or hidden layers.

The last method is to use the Ctrl/Cmd+A keyboard shortcut. This shortcut will select all visible and unlocked layers in the document.

Conclusion:

The quickest way to select all layers in Photoshop is to use the Ctrl/Cmd+A keyboard shortcut.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that the shortcut to select all layers in Photoshop (Ctrl+A) can cause your computer to freeze or crash if you have too many layers selected. Use this shortcut with caution.
