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.
- Open file explorer.
- Navigate to the folder in which you want to see the files of a specific extension.
- 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
.
