How to rename jpg files in all folders within a main folder?

Multi tool use
The jpgs files's name would be the same as the folder that contain  them and if there is more than one, they would be renamed adding 1, 2, 3 and so on at the end..
Something like this:
folderA
  folderA1.jpg
  folderA2.jpg
folderB
  folderB1.jpg
  folderB2.jpg
windows-10 window rename photos

 You can do this in- cmdwith nested- forstatements: the outer with- /d /rto scan the directories, and the inner to scan the files in each directory. You will need to use- set /ain the inner loop to increment a variable initialised in the outer loop. Have you tried any of this?

 I suggest you read up on it. We are not a script-writing service: what we do is help with difficulties encountered when writing scripts, but we can't do that if you haven't made any attempt yourself. This is a good reference site with examples, though it's not intended for tuition..

 Rather than CMD, I'd encourage you pick up PowerShell. If you need someone to write a script for you, check out Fiverr.com where you can get custom work for relatively cheap.

Seems like you're looking to do this without writing a script yourself? If you don't mind downloading and using a 3rd party tool, here are some options:
