How to filter files in file explorer based on file extension?

I had a large folder on my Windows computer with files from different types, but I only wanted to see the files with a specific extension. So the question was how to achieve this.

The solution for this turned out to be quite simple! Follow the next steps to only see files with a .jpg extension.

  1. Open file explorer.
  2. Navigate to the folder in which you want to see the files of a specific extension.
  3. Type ext:.jpg in the search bar.

In the example above the ext: specifies that you want to filter by extension and after that you have to write the extension you want to search on. This is not limited to .jpg.
