BIC – Batch-Image-Cropper v2

BIC is a Batch-Image-Cropper program.

It will read all of the following file-types from a given directory: *.bmp;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.gif;*.tiff;*.emf;*.wmf;*.ico

Then it will cycle through all files and show you a cropping mask to crop the images.
 
 

It supports freeform rotation of the input images (press f) and a lot of additional hotkeys to speed up processing (press ? for a full list).

It will not change the input images, but save all cropped images to a dedicated “_BIC” sub-directory. Sorting out the results is totally up to you.

Supported output formats currently are JPG, PNG and BMP.

For JPG creation BIC can use sub-binaries. JPGE is used to create JPGs from temporary PNGs, as GDI+ enforces chrome sub-sampling by default and might change colors. ExifTool can be used to copy EXIF data from input JPGs to output JPGs.


 
If you find any bugs or limitations please let me know.

    It works fine at least on the 64bit Win10-1903 machines I tested it on.
