any free programs that will convert JPG to jpg?
 

Hi does anyone know of a free program that will do an entire set of pics and change them from capital JPG to lower case jpg and rename the pictures like megan1.jpg etc...

:helpme

You can try http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/sy...ilerename.html

it's free and will do what you need.

or you can try http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Download.php

thanks guys!!

total commander

Bulk Rename Utility

wouldn't just
mv *.JPG *.jpg
work?

faststone phot resizer has that ability

+1 :thumbsup :2 cents:

Irfanview is the best... seriously try it out!:thumbsup

NOTHING WORKS BETTER THAN: http://www.irfanview.com/

Yeah infranview if you want free

+1 Irfanview - extremely versatile for a free program.

thanks for all the suggestions guys! i am checking a few of them out :)

STAY AWAY from that crap ... it assigns itself to almost any format if you let it run without care ... serious, irfanview is the worst shit i ever had to deal with ... including uninstalling :2 cents:

CKrename is what I use

edit: just wrong answer

that will not work.

This works:

ls *.JPG | awk '{print("mv "$1" "$1)}' | sed 's/JPG/jpg/2' | /bin/sh

If he's on Linux, he may as well just use rename.

rename 's/JPG$/jpg/' *.JPG

have you ever used a lubricant?

That would work :thumbsup My BSD doesn't have that command so what I posted is a little more portable.

you guys are visiting the same homosexuals forum

On Windows? Try Filerenamer.

I've used it to rename millions of pics etc.

This.

Open TC. Select files to rename. Ctrl + m. Replace JPG with jpg. Done.

Cool way to do it as a batch: http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/...-to-lowercase-

I use xnview

free and work really good

or a case insensitive os fagola

True. I think rename (or prename - Perl rename) comes with Perl; maybe you don't have that installed. The good thing about *nix is there are often several ways to achieve the same thing.

cant you just do this in wodnows command prompt (cmd.exe)

REN *.JPG *.jpg

Photoscape is free and does that and tons more, just wish it would do good crops like be able to make good thumbs say i wanted a 150/150px and select the area it sux for that, but renaming and sizing and adding watermarks and most other corrections esspecially in batch it is fast as fuck and works great.

I use better file rename, it will even rename the whole file, or any part you want, can change them to numbers also.

Holy shit, are you guys really so inept that you need a download to do this for you? Seriously? Learn 2 computer.

that's what I love about unix :)

I checked my fbsd and I don't have either rename or prename, and I do have perl installed. I have a freebsd port located in /usr/ports/sysutils/rename that appears to be the same thing though.

Open each single .JPG file in photoshop and then save as .jpg.

will also work

:1orglaugh

some people haven't ever used prompt but ya +1

Works crappy for resizing images. When I resize image with MS paint it looks as good as it was and when I resize with irfanview it looks bad.

1-4a Rename is pretty good.

What best free program to just do simple cropping, I tired tons they all suck, none let you select size and crop or if they do, when you move the box it keeps resizing. I just want somethings simple to do thumbs etc when I need them. Say I want a 150X150px thumb from a big pic and just want the main part of the big pic, it shouldn't be so hard, none but bloated photoshop seem to do it. Infranview looks good checked on youtube and it seems to do it, should I download that? Photoscape is great but not for cropping tho.

yeah i am on windows

way too many i have thousands of pics that need to be reformatted with .jpg instead of .JPG

ACDSEE are perfect for this task

photoshop will batch rename ANY folder of files .... regardless if they are images, videos, text files ... even executables!

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I think the Photoshop suggestions were a joke... Surely?

I buy my Photoshop license ... but I also use it to make a living, and as such, it is a tax write-off anyways ...

For the other 99% of the internet (with bit torrent) ... yes Photoshop may as well be a free download.

I mean ... lets be honest ... sure nobody likes to openly discuss it, but of my friends, every last one of them has photoshop on their computer ... how much (if anything) they paid for it, is not what is being discussed here.

If I already have Photoshop on my computer that does a smashing job of batch renaming, why on God's green earth would I need to download another program??

What I meant was, loading each file into Photoshop one by one, as someone suggested, or loading them and saving them (ie, unnecessarily compressing them again) as .jpg.

I agree with you about Photoshop piracy. I'm not saying Adobe actively encouraged it, but I do believe they unofficially condoned it, or at least recognized the benefits of it.

People (businesses) who could afford Photoshop paid for it, and people who couldn't afford it, download it, and got hooked on it. If they later started a business, or got rich enough, they'd buy Photoshop, because it's what they had learned and were used to.

I'm sure Adobe preferred people to use Photoshop for free than other, more affordable or pirated, software from their rivals.

you should try Lupas Rename 100% free and it will do exactly what you need

My favorite most versatile program is still "Rename" from WebXpace - jump straight to the description and download section at this link: http://www.webxpace.com/software/fre...ml#FileRenamer

:D

I use ACDSEE and they have a great file renamer built in there, the BEST for image editing

there used to be TGP Cropper but it no longer works and i've never found an alternative :(
