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

convert command help:

convert input-file [options] output-file

Now a little script to convert all jpg files to 80% quality of original under current directory

for file in *.jpg; do
  convert "$file" -quality 80% "$file"
done;

Try this instead:

mogrify -quality 80% *.jpg

This will work for you.

convert -quality 80% '*.jpg' -set filename:original %t %[filename:original].jpg
