Bulk crop images from CMD/PowerShell

Question

Is there any CMDline utility or 3rd party app that can take each and every image in a folder (screenshot in my case) and crop them all one by one to a particular resolution?

For instance, I have 3 monitors in extended view, and I sometimes need to take screenshots on the fly, and the most convenient way to do so, is with WinKey + PrtScrn combination. The downside is that I manually have to crop out 2 monitors afterwards for about 20-30 images.

ImageMagick is a light-weight tool that can be used for this. Here is an example that croppes all jpg images in a directory and puts the results in a new folder:

cd path/to/dir/
mogrify -crop +100+10 -quality 100 -path ../cropped *.jpg

Here, 100 pixels from the left border and 10 pixels from the top are removed. See here for more information on how to use crop.
