ImageMagick: convert to keep same name for converted image

I am converting .psd to .png files inside folder with one. How to keep same name of every file in folder with different extension ?

For example I enter in folder images and then from terminal I execute

$ convert *.psd *.png

but it gives names to .png just numbers not the same as appropriate .psd image.

Solution

  • Use the -set and formatting options.

    convert *.psd -set filename:base "%[basename]" "%[filename:base].png"

    See "Long Form Attribute Percent Escapes" and "Filename Percent Escapes" docs.

    Update

    The mogrify utility that ships with imagemagick can also be used.

    mogrify -format png *.psd

    Note: Be careful with mogrify as the docs state...

    This tool is similiar to convert except that the original image file is overwritten (unless you change the file suffix with the -format option) with any changes you request.
