How to convert multiple files, keeping the same name

[rekam]

Hi !

I searched bit and tried a little bit, but I can't find a solution to this: I have multiple PCT files that I want to transform to jpeg. To convert one, I do:

Code: Select all

convert -quality 100 1.pct 1.jpg

Easy and it works. But then I have tons of pct files. So

Code: Select all

convert -quality 100 *.pct jpg

.. does the trick, but then my jpg files aren't named correctly. I tried with some #, *, {0}, _, | and other signs but any of them just keep the name for each photo.

What do I need to do to just change the extension?

Thanks!

see mogrify

but I recommend you use the path option so as not to overwrite your original images.

If going to a different format use -format jpg with mogrify
