I have IrfanView installed (or should I say copied) on all computers I use – it’s the most light-weight image viewer AND processor with a gazillion features. I even use it to view my RAW photos (with the CRW/CR2 plugin).

OK, back to our topic. I had to crop a whole lot of images and I obviously didn’t want to do it manually. The problem was that the stuff I needed was right in the middle of the image:

OK, so here’s how you batch crop images:

  1. Press “B” to open the “Batch conversion” window and “Add all” of your images
  2. Click on “Set advanced options” and select “CROP” (please see figure 2).
  3. You need to put in the the X, Y coordinates and the width and height of your crop
  4. Click OK and then “Start”
