Is there any freebie program that can take all the files ending in .JPG and convert them to .jpg?

I can't remmeber which one I have used in the past but do a search for "free batch renamer" or "free file renamer". R-Name looks pretty good.
There are plenty of them out there since it's a fairly trivial programming task and makes a great project for programming classes.
Many photo management software packages also have this feature.

Why not? UPPERCASE extensions are lame, and so 1980s :) Plus, it gets quite annoying on non-Windows file systems to have to remember whether it's UPPER or lower case.

c:\dir-with-jpg\>ren *.JPG *.jpg <enter>

Wouldn't find and replace do it?

If you're a point and click kinda renamer there's this which has a free demo, 20 bucks if you want to keep it.

May be Flash Renamer? But agree with you, plenty available on the web...

I have a batch renaming program called "CKRenamer" - it's really good.
it'll solve your lower-case problem, and has some really nice features that will come in handy when dealing with piles of badly-named files.
Look for it at public shareware repositories

correction: it's called "CKrename".
A G search for that will give you the download page at position #1

Anybody ever post an image and wonder why it didn't render; until finally figuring out that it was .jpe? The first time it happened to me (customer submission for a gallery page) I didn't think that I'd ever figure it out.
