Linux: replace ".jpeg" extension with ".jpg" in all files in a folder using bash command

Question

I want to replace the ".jpeg" extension with ".jpg" in all image files in a folder. What bash command should I use to do this?

Answer 1

To replace the ".jpeg" extension with ".jpg" in images files in a folder, you can use the "mv" command with the "for" loop.

• "cd" to the folder where you have kept your image files.
• run the following command on the terminal.

for file in $(ls *.jpeg);  do mv "$file" "${file%.*}.jpg" ; done
