Convert images when extention is not in the filename using ImageMagick

Question

I would like to convert a jpg image to a pdf file using ImageMagick convert. I can successfully do so using the following:

convert image.jpg image.pdf

How could I convert the image if the original file name was "image" and not "image.jpg", and the target file name is "image" and not "image.pdf"?

Answer 1

You can use Explicit Image Format to force convert to use a specific format, regardless of filename.

convert jpg:image_source pdf:image_out
