Extension Changer for Windows

User Reviews

• It does change the "written" file extension,

  4/13/2015

  Pros

  Does not really accomplish anything.

  Cons

  It does indeed change the file extension visually, however other programs do not recognize the extension as a valid format. (ex.) I wanted to change several .png files to .gif, in order to make an animated .gif file. I tried 4 different programs, neither recognized the file as a .gif.

  Summary

  Does not really accomplish anything, therefore a waste of time.

• not perfect, but works excellently

  Mattdoes8/30/2012

  Pros

  simple and intuitive just mark a block of files and drag them to the program window file endings can be entered as wished (i.e. jpg.bmp)

  Cons

  not well explained - needs some trial and error until you know how to get exactly what you need as mentioned in a review above, if you enter a dot before your ending, your result will have 2 dots does not install link to start menu only to desktop - has to be manually moved closes after each job

  Summary

  only changes the extension, but that is exactly what i need. the problems were quickly apparent and easily avoided. after that, the program reliably gave me the results i needed. despite the problems the program has, i give it 5 stars in anticipation of all the work it will save me in the future! Love it.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Aug 30, 2012<p/>UPDATE: caution: leaving the extension field blank removes the extension

• Good but not perfect yet

  Nirvicharaak4/26/2012

  Pros

  Fast and simple

  Cons

  1. misleading prompts (e.g. looking at .* you might think is wants you to enter .doc for example, where in fact it is just doc) 2. Impossible to cancel (other than answering to a yes/no window for every single file . Well , I had 1000 files to rename and had to hit damn button 1000 times ? Try it and you start to hate this small beauty in 2 min)

  Summary

  Room for improvements. Don'r expect too much from the program. It's not a product yet

• Great little program that met my needs.

  ch840511/2/2011

  Pros

  I found this simple to install and use. I needed to change the file extension on multiple pictures, from jpeg to jpg and just by blocking and dragging multiple pictures to the '.exe' program, I had the job done. Previously I changed each picture manually. What a drag.

  Cons

  None that I found.

  Summary

  Great program if you need to simplify modifying the extensions on multiple files.

• Program does what it said it will do.

  CJAShadow8/26/2011

  Pros

  Quick and simple program

  Cons

  Closes after use

  Summary

  I used it to change files that were given to me with an erroneous extension. Changed ".pdf.pdffile" to ".pdf". I did not have to input anything and it just erased the ".pdffile". Only problem is that I had to use it 100 times (files in different folders downloaded from an FTP site) and had to open it 100 times... Stay open!

• DAMN! That hit the spot!

  joerhoney10/1/2010

  Pros

  Light weight. Does just what it's made to do. Cuts the time of renaming a big handful of extensions down to 5%. Great for converting an html website to php for instance.

  Cons

  No undo feature (that'd surely be very difficult to pull off though).

  Summary

• Brilliant ! Easy to use and straightforward.

  Nozzzzzz4/23/2010

  Pros

  Small on screen when opened and it closes automatically when the job is done. Easy to use- open files- drag the file you want to change extension into the little box- type in the desired format than click 'change'.

  Cons

  None at the moment.

  Summary

  Changes file with two extensions i.e- filename.avi.html to one extension filename.avi. PLEASE NOTE- it does not CONVERT formats, it only removes an extension. Provided the existing file already exist in the original file than your media player should not have any problem running it.

• perfect program!

  chickenorfish4/11/2010

  Pros

  very simple to use and understand

  Cons

  closes after changing extensions

  Summary

  if a file has 2 extensions, like ".avi.html" , to get rid of ".html" just put a space in the CHANGE TO field

• Now what? Not tech savy enough I guess.

  sabe_in_el_paso11/22/2009

  Pros

  I don't understand.

  Cons

  The videos still don't play. I don't know what extenstion to use. Whatever I tried didn't work.

  Summary

  I thought this was it. Guess not.
