Greetings Everyone,
I was just wondering if there is a way for XP to change, en masse, a group of pictures? I have tried the "Rename" function but that doesn't change the file extension. I have been changing things one by one but that gets a little old. Thanks for your help.

I prefer <a href="http://www.musicsucks.com/CKSoft/index.htm">CKRename</a> for mass operations. It's free and very versatile. Small, too.

you can go to a dos prompt, change to the directory where the images are located and type this:

ren *.<current extension> *.<new extension>

Keep in mind this will not change the file type, only the extension.

just curious, what do you want to change the extension from - to?

you can use Irfnaview to easily batch convert. I only use PNG for my scanner input but use that program to convert when JPG when it is more practical, which is usually just for smaller file sizes on the web.

I have Irfanview but I am not sure how to use its batch/conversion aspect. I am trying to convert .php files to .jpg files. Can Irfanview convert these files? Thanks for any help and info.

What!!!!

.php files are text and .jpg files are images. There is no conversion here.

I use PicaLoder to download pics from websites and sometimes it saves the pics as .php files. I can, by hand, change the .php to .jpg but that is tedious. After I change the extension the file becomes viewable as a pic but not before so there is a "conversion" process. If there was something that could do it for me and not take forever that would be great. Thanks

Interesting that PicaLoder cannot tell to 'extract' the image file from the php file...

Anyways, the renaming program I've been using for a couple years is Renamer

Freeware, easy enough to use, and does everything I've ever needed it to.

Refer to my earlier post. Save the files. Go to a dos prmopt and type:

rename *.php *.jpg

that's it. You could put this in a batch file and then run the batch file in the directory you needed converted.
