: How to trim an image in Gimp I wanna trim all white spaces surrounding an image's content using Gimp. Is there some straightforward method, or any trick?

To trim white borders with Gimp we may


select the white border with the Select by Color Tool
Invert the selection Ctrl + I


Crop the image to the selection (Image > Crop to selection)




For a quicker workflow we can also use the following steps:


Select all Ctrl+ A
Subtract selection by color by Ctrl + mouseclick on selecting
Crop image to selection




Batch processing of large numbers of files can better be done with ImageMagick Trim to remove all colors having the same color as the image corners:

mogrify -trim *.png


Note that this will overwrite your files, work on copies.
