How to Rename File Extensions?

Renaming the extension of the file is as easy as renaming the file. You can do it using Windows Explorer and with the help of the F2 function key. Start Windows Explorer then navigate to the location of the file you want to rename. Once you located the file, by default, only the filename is visible. The extension name is hidden.

To display the extension name so you can rename it, in Windows Explorer, click “Tools” and then “Folder Options.” On the next screen, select “View” tab then scroll down a bit. Look for “Hide extensions for known file types,” uncheck it, and then click “OK.”

After this, your file will now display its extension name. Click on the file to select then press F2 on your keyboard to rename. Move your cursor after the dot “.” and delete all the characters after it. Type the new extension name then hit Enter. And that’s it.
