In case of renaming multiple file extensions to another, they suggested to type this command in cmd promt or powershell: ren *.(current extension name) *.(new extension name)

But what about to renaming multiple file extensions to nil or no file extension? How to replace this command *.(new extension name) ?

    There’s an application called Ant Renamer. It’s free and I’m pretty sure it’s FOSS. Ant Renamer will let you batch rename files and even change extensions.

    That said, I’m unsure why you’d want to do this with multiple file extensions, but to each his own…

      OP wants to rename some files not ants. Please read the post before responding thanks. I’m sure Ant Renamer’s great for entomological scenarios but this is a computer thing.

      There’s also a program free for personal use called Bulk Rename. It has an incredible amount of custom options that the Microsoft power toys couldn’t do, that I needed. Just in case your program isn’t super extensive on the options and possibilities, FOSS is preferred unless necessary
