How to move all images to other directory based on file content, ignoring the filename

This command will identify all image files in a directory recursively using the file command (looking for image/* MIME types) and move those to a different directory.

mkdir -p ../Images && find . -type f -exec sh -c '
    case $( file -bi "$1" ) in (image/*) exit 0; esac
    exit 1' sh {} \; -exec mv -v --backup=numbered {} ../Images \;
