JPEGCrops is a free program to allow cropping of JPEG without loss of quality. In addition, it makes it very fast and easy to crop a batch of multiple images. It comes with most common photo sizes already predefined, and you can easily add your own custom sizes. You can specify a the output folder for the processed pictures or change the file names of the cropped photos--JPEGCrops will never overwrite your originals without warning. You can also customize other aspects of the program such as appearance, layout, and how metadata and time stamps are handled.
JPEGCrops is just what I have been looking for and I hope you will find it useful, too! Besides being free, it's a small download, and the program doesn't modify your registry or install any files outside its own directory.
