imagemagick - Linux batch conversion: Change quality of jpg with convert but keep its name

Question

If I convert my images with

convert -quality 80% *.jpg

It works, but the software changes the file names to the first one it picks. How can I keep the name or even replace the previous image with that of a lower quality.

Answer 1

Try this instead:

mogrify -quality 80% *.jpg
