Agree with all of the above: dismissing imagemagick, esp. for batch operations, borders on insanity.
It being "versatile" would be an understatement, esp. with its scriptability, being a command line utility.
Let's put it this way, you know very well that many photo editors will do exactly as you wish if you use the GUI form of it. But making mouse actions and automating them is difficult and inefficient, if not infeasible.
As I've said, had to do something like what you wish, alter a bunch of image files. So upon obtaining help from whichever photo editor application usually gives on the full instructions to do things like trim, resize, or adjust using filters, to an image. That's why I recommend, give it a try with one image. After that you can then work on some way to do this with all the intended files you wish to transform.
Thanks for your comments and input. Yes, I have been in the IT industry since 1974 with Fortran, Assembly etc... You can guess my age now. But, since I engaged with Windows GUI, I am comfortable with it and in my daily activity design and deploy web sites - all GUI.

convert is your tool to use, part of imagemagick.
It can do virtually everything, as the man pages say:
Code:
convert - convert between image formats as well as resize an image,
blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much
more.
^ As mentioned earlier, you want the "convert" CLI utility.
Also see: https://imagemagick.org/script/comma...processing.php (according to that the CLI utility is actually called "magick", "convert" and "mogrify" are just symlinks to it) and the rest of that site. Lot's of yummy documentation.
