Maybe this program

JPGCrops - Cropping of JPEG images without loss of quality
http://ekot.dk/programmer/JPEGCrops/

What is this?
JPEGCrops is a Windows program, created for preparation of a batch of
images for printing. It provides lossless cropping with fixed aspects
using JPEGTran.

Why use it?
Most digital cameras produce JPEGs with the aspect 4:3. A very common
papersize for photo albums is 4"x6" (10x15cm), which has the aspect
3:2. If you want to print, you often need to crop. 

If you need to crop 50 images, it can be very time-consuming in
dedicated image editors like PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro. JPEGCrops
isn't a real image editor: It just rotates and crops. But it's fast
and it's free.
