Run exiftool across multiple spefici file types

is there a way to use exiftool command on all files with specific extensions inside a folder?

E.g.

exiftool -overwrite_original -all= *.jpg *.png *.jpeg

The problem of the command above is that it gives me:

no matches found: *.png

because there are not .png images inside my folder, but I want the command to run anyway on all files with other extensions.

Thanks

Use the -ext (extension) option and a dot to indicate the current directory, e.g. exiftool -overwrite_original -all= -ext jpg -ext jpeg -ext png .

This option becomes especially import when you add the recurse options (-r) as wild cards won't work like that when you recurse (see Common Mistake #2).
