  • <h2>Batch processing</h2>
  • GIMP and ImageMagick both have batch processing capabilities, which would allow you to process most or all of your screenshots at once.
  • Since the header looks the same size every time, it will probably be a matter of using the crop tool to cut off (or keep) a defined percentage of each picture's height. You can probably get rid of the transparent border while you're at it.
  • <h3>GUI</h3>
  • To do it graphically, your best bet seems to be the GIMP plugin known as BIMP, which you will probably need to install. There's a tutorial here: <a href=https://thegimptutorials.com/how-to-do-batch-processing/#method_2_make_batch_processing_easy_with_a_plugin>How to Do Batch Processing in GIMP</a>.
  • <h3>Command line</h3> If you're comfortable with the command line, Imagemagick's <b>-crop</b> option might suit you better. That way, once you've found the right settings, you can write a script to automate the task for future screenshots.
  • Instructions: <a href=https://imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#crop>ImageMagick Command Line Options</a>. Take a look at the <b>-trim</b> option too (for removing borders).
