How to use find command to find all files with extensions from list?

Question

I need to find all image files from directory (gif, png, jpg, jpeg).

find /path/to/ -name \"*.jpg\" > log

How to modify this string to f

Answer 1

find /path/to/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file | grep -i image

This uses the file command to try to recognize the type of file, regardless of filename (or extension).

If /path/to or a filename contains the string image, then the above may return bogus hits. In that case, I'd suggest

cd /path/to
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file --mime-type | grep -i image/
