I haven't done it, but I'm pretty sure the convert program from ImageMagicK does exactly what you want. See: man convert | grep -A5 crop As far as a script, all I can recommend is a loop that backs up the original to a new name, converts and renames the converted, so you can start it again if you get only half way through for some reason. Or, you can just redirect ls into a file, use Vim to convert and rename each file individually.
